Looking Forward to When The Son Clears Away the Fog

I was driving my car on yet another very foggy day. It had been quite foggy for about a week or two and I was pretty done with it all. I looked up and saw the sun but it wasn't able to break through all the fog. I thought about how nice it would be if the sun would just break through those clouds and clear it all away so we could feel the warmth and see the clearness. I knew this would bring me so much happiness.

I immediately made a comparison. I started thinking about this wicked world in which we live. I have been feeling so sad watching all the decisions that are being made by our current president, things that I definitely do not agree with. It is so frustrating to sit by and not be able to do anything to change what is happening. It is sad to live in all this "fog" day after day. People around me who believe that God does not exist or that there is nothing wrong with aborting babies or... I could go on and on.

I couldn't help but think how nice it would be if the Son would just come down and clear away all this "fog" that we have been dealing with for so long. It would be so nice to feel His warmth and to see the clearness. I know that it will bring me so much happiness when He comes again!! I can't wait!! :)

My Favorite Part of The Book of Mormon

3 Nephi 17:21-24

"21 And when (Jesus) had said these words, he wept, and the multitude bare record of it, and he took their little children, one by one, and blessed them, and prayed unto the Father for them.

22 And when he had done this he wept again;

23 And he spake unto the multitude, and said unto them: Behold your little ones.

24 And as they looked to behold they cast their eyes towards heaven, and they saw the heavens open, and they saw angels descending out of heaven as it were in the midst of fire; and they came down and encircled those little ones about, and they were encircled about with fire; and the angels did minister unto them."

Our homeschool program!!

My style of homeschooling is "public school at home." We began homeschooling on our own, the 1st year. Then we were enrolled in the Washington Virtual Academy (WAVA) for 3 years. Now we are enrolled in ORLA. Our girls are taking several classes at an Elementary School that is no longer used for a typical Elementary School. Instead 450 homeschooling students (K-12) take classes there with certified teachers (you choose which ones and how many) but you do have to be at the school with them until they are 12 (in another room with toys for the younger kids) or sign them out to a friend. Then you fill in the rest at home. For example, my girls take Music, Art, P.E., and Science at the school 2 days a week and then I teach them Math, Language, and History at home, on the other 3 days. The school also pays for an additional $300 a year of curriculum (like the Math, Lang, Hist.) We do have to keep up with a certain number of hours per week. We also have a "home room teacher" that helps us with everything, like deciding what extra things to do at home and making sure we don't miss anything. We are really enjoying this program-- it truly is the best of both worlds! If you have any questions, email me. :)
