"Homeschoolers Don't Live in a Box"

Well, it seems as if the con on homeschooling is socializing. I am a homeschooler and I see homeschoolers; they are friendly, open and amazing public speakers. I’m not just saying that because I’m homeschooled. I attended a private school up till 8th grade, I am not a very talkative person....I was known as the girl with the quiet spirit! I always wanted to be homeschooled, because I felt like everyone at school just took it as "social time" and I just wanted to focus on my work. It was hard, because I would be finished with my work...and the class was the still struggling...so, that would be hold me back. I would beg my mom to home school me...but she thought she would ruin me. My eighth grade year, we were undecided on what high school I was going to attend. I didn't want to attend a public, but at the same time private would be too expensive. So my only option was public. My friend was homeschooled, and told me all about it. I thought it sounded awesome! I was supposed to be praying for the public school that the Lord wanted me to go to, but instead I was praying that God would place it in my mom’s heart to home school me.

I am now going on my third year of being homeschooled. I noticed, and others have noticed that I have become more open! I’m still a little shy, but I’m more open and talkative. People that I met recently, can’t believe that I’m homeschooled and so social able. They always thought homeschoolers were so quiet, always with their head down…hiding themselves from the world. I took an outside Biology class with other homeschoolers my freshman year. I was so nervous; I thought I was going to be in a room filled with nerds, and quiet kids. I walked in class, and everyone was talking to one another. Kids approached me and welcomed me. They were all so nice, and seemed like normal kids. I think homeschoolers are very social able, they might not experience stuff kids experience in normal schools. Believe it or not, homeschoolers are sociable! Kids these days take school as “social time” “fun time” “my friend time” but that’s not what school’s about!

As homeschoolers, we are still exposed to drama, peer pressure, jealousy, sex, drugs, etc. We still live in this world, people! We don’t live in a box! We hear things in the media, we see things around us, and ultimately we have to make a choice. Parents may say “I want my kids to be exposed to the world, to make their choices” I don’t know why parents want their children to be exposed so fast! I think the parent should train up their children, teach them right and wrong…and when they are ready to enter the real world…it's up to them to make the choice. In High School, teens still don’t know what they want, or who they are…there’s so much pressure, it’s so easy kids to fall into those pressures. I think parents shouldn’t want their children to be exposed. I think they should keep their kids close to them, keep their kids pure, and train them! When they enter College, the real world...it will be up to them to make the choices. When your teen makes a wrong decision, don’t blame the kids…you're the one who wanted them to be exposed! But at the same time, it is their fault…but you can change that!

I think it’s dumb, when people say “you don’t know, you’re homeschooled” homeschoolers do get peer pressured, I’ve heard many stories. I go through drama, I do get peer pressured, etc. whether you’re homeschooled or not…you will be exposed to this world. I choose to separate myself from stuff, and to be different.

The thing I love most about being homeschooled, is waking up…spending time with my dad before he goes to work, being able to work at my pace, having more free time, being able to work on the things I love, being home with my family, and being able to learn God’s word. I love being able to do school with my mom and brother. Being able to help him out, do crafts with him! The thing I hated about school, was having to leave home...having to leave my family! Now I’m with them 24/7 and I LOVE it.

I encourage every parent who doesn’t work, to cherish their kids, and to pray about homeschooling them. Don’t expose them to soon! Teach them from right and wrong, and when their kids are ready to enter the real world…it will be up to them.

For those parents, who work and cant home school their kids! Talk to your kids, and be involved in your Childs life!

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
Proverbs 22:6

Who Will Defend You?

But the LORD has been my defense, And my God the rock of my refuge.
(Psalm 94:22)

Have you ever been in situation were you were falsely accuse? Or maybe someone said something about you that really hurt your feelings. I have been there many times. I know that it hurts; you just want to go and defend yourself. But the Bible says that Jesus was falsely accused and that accusation took him to die on the cross. He did not say one word to defend himself. He was God; He could’ve called angels to destroy everyone. But He didn’t, because He came with a purpose. He suffered willingly, no one made Him.

The Bible makes it clear, if God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31

God knows, hears, sees everything, so if someone has hurt you today. Make a choice to forgive. I have heard it said; you can become bitter or better. Choose to become better. A better person in Christ, be set free from the pain. I have today; I have forgiven those who have hurt me.
You might be thinking, yeah right; you don’t know what that person did to me. It’s not the first time, that person has done it before. Your right, I do not know. But God does and He wants us to trust Him. He will defend you in due time, run to His arm and He will protect you.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

Be encouraged today, to stand still and see God fight your battles. Position yourself in prayer, and wait on Him. Be confident that He will be faithful to you, stand firm in His word. May you be filled with God’s love and forgiveness today. God bless

A Test Of Love

St. Augustine once preached a sermon in which he proposed a kind of self-test to see if we truly loved God:

Suppose God proposed to you a deal and said "I will give you anything you want. You can posses the whole world. Nothing will be impossible for you . . . . Nothing will be a sin, nothing forbidden. You will never die, never have pain, never have anything you do not want and always have anything you do not want -except for just one thing: you will never see my face."

Augustine closed with a question:

Did a chill rise in your hearts, when you heard the words, "you will never see my face"? That chill is the most precious thing in you; that is the pure love of God.

What is good for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?
Mark 8:36

-Weaver, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, 172

Jesus Is All We Need.

Jesus Is All We Need

When I was a teenager there were times that I felt lonely. I turned to partying, drinking and even dating; thinking this would fulfill me. But I only found myself feeling worse. In the book of John I read how this Samaritan woman was not satisfied with her life. Jesus said "I will be the one to satisfy your thirst." I totally saw myself in this woman. I was never satisfied. I was treated like a Princess, and still not happy. Nothing satisfied me...I wanted more. Why? Because Jesus is all that we need. Psalms 1:3 says, "He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither;and whatever he does shall prosper."

This is what Jesus meant when He was talking to the Samaritan woman, we are like the trees and Jesus is the water that gives us life. Without Jesus we will die, just as a tree needs water to live. We need Jesus to live. May you be encourage today to seek Him, and He will satisfy your thirst.

Welcome

Welcome to Alive's Blog Spot.

What is Alive?

A young ladies Bible study group. Our prayer is that we would empower young ladies to fall in love with God's Word and to find Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. As we meet once a month and study the Women of the Bible, we learn how God's grace and love empowers us to live a life of peace. As, we see the struggles of our youth we understand that through God's gift of love we are made alive.

But God, who is rich in mercy,

because of His great love with

which He loved us, even when

we were dead in trespasses, made

us alive together with Christ.

(by grace you have been saved.)

Ephesians 2:4-5
