Problem Solved

My Hope is in the Lord
This past year, specifically the past school year, has been the worst year ever. If I were a new home educator, I probably would've given up months ago. Fortunately, I have 21 years of experience on my side. I know that problems don't have to be fixed right here and right now, and that often… Continue reading My Hope is in the Lord
