Whether you started school weeks ago, plan to start in the coming weeks, or never really stopped schooling, September has traditionally been “back to school” season. We want to encourage you as you begin a new school year that may be rife with anticipation and eagerness or burdened with worry and fear. May these words be a blessing to you, as a home educator, whether brand new or seasoned vet, during the 2019-2020 school year.

The love of God be the passion in your heart.
The joy of God your strength when times are hard .
The presence of God a peace that overflows.
The Word of God the seed that you might sow.
