We moved A LOT! I never felt like I was missing out, but the strangest thing I recall was when I was in 7th grade and one of my girlfriends moved away FROM ME! Imagine that! <br /><br />I was 12 when we moved that last time. We stuck where we were for the remainder of my childhood and I learned about life in the same place. Both are good ways to live. I always feel bad when I meet someone who has never traveled or see other states or countries. This is a priceless gift that you are giving your kids. Few gifts come with no price tag, but this tag is not very big. My song to you: "Don't worry. Be happy." :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09526357707138328162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819632789916727494.post-65344711525451132622011-03-14T08:38:05.063-07:002011-03-14T08:38:05.063-07:00Well, they will miss out on something. But they&#...Well, they will miss out on something. But they'd also miss out on something if they were in the same school throughout their entire education. Just like my kids will be missing out on something by being homeschooled. But they'd also miss out on something by going to public school, or private school. But the flip side of that is that they'll gain things that other kids won't too. You just have to have faith that God has put YOUR family in the circumstances you're in, because that's part of His plan for YOUR family. He obviously doesn't have the same plan for MY family or THAT family... It's so hard not to question whether you're making the right decisions, but if you are following God's will, then there's no need for doubt. It will sneak in, because we're human, but trust that His plan for your family is PERFECT! :)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10846901059951833219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819632789916727494.post-76088895797016826622011-03-14T05:14:34.072-07:002011-03-14T05:14:34.072-07:00I often wonder what makes some kids “make it” and ...I often wonder what makes some kids “make it” and others not. Every system has its failures as well as its successes. All you can do is raise your children in the admonition of the Lord and they will not depart from it. Your care and concern for your children is what will help them “make it.”Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.com
