We are convinced at our house that there is only one real reason that our homeschool succeeds. Everything else is a result of this one thing. Are you ready for it?
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 1:7
If we begin anywhere else -- our great school plan, our fantastic school books, our amazing theories or our wonderful teacher (me -- ha!) -- we are not beginning at the beginning. Therefore, the knowledge we gain will be faltering and unstable. We have to start at the beginning -- a very good place to start (What? You've never seen The Sound of Music?)
The beginning is a fear or honor of God and His Word. From that place, we are able to see things more clearly. Everything else makes more sense when you start at the beginning.
This is easy to see in homeschooling, but it works in every area of our lives. Here's to a good beginning,
Angela
