When I ran the San Antonio Marathon 2 years ago I loved many of the sayings I saw on t-shirts and posters. Here are a few:
Quotes from the 2010 San Antonio Marathon:
*I thought you said 2.62!
*I thought you said 2.62!
* Chuck Norris never ran a marathon.
*Marathons are the triumph of desire over reason.

My friend is going to run her first half-marathon next month and she really wants to run, without walking, and finish well. The third quote above recently came to my mind after I talked to her the other day. I know she can do it. Now, she has to want it. She's been faithfully training for months.
Then, I thought that the quote could be applied to homeschooling too. So for me it would be: Homeschooling through high school is the triumph of desire over reason.
I have just over a year and a half to graduate my first child. Not...sure...if...I can do it....ugh. There has been quite a few times I almost transferred one or more children into a public or private school...
My desire is to be obedient to God's calling for our family and that seems to be homeschooling our kids....for our family...at this time.
Hebrews 12:1b...let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
How is your homeschooling going?
It is like a marathon in some ways. I see how far I have to go, but the end really isn't in sight yet. We're still in the race, sot that's good for now!
ReplyDeleteHi Patricia, Good to hear from you! I was wondering if you thought about going to the 2:1 Conference?
