Back on Track

In November I ordered the "Self Directed Study in the Principle Approach" booklet and CD to begin the process of learning how the principle approach method (for more information see the www.face.net website).  I am glad I have a few years before I really begin.  I will use this blog to work out some of my thoughts on homeschooling and in the retraining of our mind, because it really needs to be a complete work.  

I guess I didn't realize how much I just memorized things and studied just for a test, memorizing for the good grade, but nothing really sticking as far as understanding.  I feel like most of the education I received was dull, lifeless, and very empty.  I confess I am excited to be going through this again to learn and to understand.  To see the spark in my children's eyes and learn what really makes them click.  To see their lives as important in the big scheme of things and know without a shadow of a doubt that God has a special plan for their lives.  

I don't have all the books yet to fully go through this seminar book, but I will read it through once by itself, and then go through with the supplemental materials and answer all the questions and really dive into it.  It is that important.  

So let me share this journey with you as I learn how to learn and find meaning in the world around me.  "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened:"  Ephesians 1:17-18
