THE ZIG: The funny thing about life is you can only see from point
to point. So, when I Zig happens you must decide if you’re going to go back to
your original starting point or change (Zig) along with it. Early February, my
husband got wind of a job opportunity that would require us to relocate to Houston, Texas.
After much prayer, we decided that it would be the best interest of our family
to move to Houston.
The night we told our boys was tough and full of tears. Their poor hearts where
broken and filled with such sadness and fear. The next few months were arduous,
getting our house ready for sell, numerous scouting and a taxing house hunting
process. During the whole process, I kept hearing, “Oh your boys will be
fine, they are homeschooled, and at least they don't have to worry about
leaving their schoolmates”. Okay how idiotic is that? Yes, I knew they would be
fine, because I knew God would heal their hearts and give them many more
friends. It had nothing to do with not having schoolmates. One thing I
truly believe non homeschoolers misconstrue homeschoolers’ relationships. In
many cases, not only are the kids best of friends, but the parents are best of
friends too. Our families mesh together and unite for the betterment of both
households. We love each others kids, we pray together, laugh together, and
even cry together. There is little more annoying, than someone to brush
off the relationships that you deem so vital.
The Zag - We have officially moved into a
new home. We love our new neighborhood and we are working diligently to make
our house a home. We are working on building relationships at church, in our
neighborhood and in the homeschooling community. Even though we only
moved five hours away, the culture is totally different and we miss our friend
and families back home terrible. Needless to say, 2014 - 2015 will not be as I
so gracefully planned it out in January, but it is okay because is control.
