I ha...Gaby, you have stated what I believe so well. I have often considered why we feel so strong about this. When the Lord has convicted one to a particular calling strongly, I think it feels so strong that we begin to assume that He must be calling everyone to the same thing. I believe parents are called to ensure their children are educated and discipled -- HOW we go about doing that, He has given us latitude in. It is also easier to make the other side or choice 'totally wrong' in order to keep going in this calling that the Lord has given you in regards to education. I sometimes envy my friends who send their kids to a school either public or private and still disciple them and have godly children. It looks easier from this side of the fence. But truly....this parenting thing is not easy on either side of the educational fence. Thanks for writing what I have thought! Good to hear from you, Gaby. I've missed your voice on the blogosphere.<br />Kathleen T.

I lo...Oh Gaby, this is a stand up and applaud post! I love the way you reason through the argument rather than argue through your reasons. We just have way too much of that in the body of believers today. <br /><br />Your best part ever was here:<br /><br />"I believe in a God who is bigger than my choice of school. If He has called me to homeschool and He has called you to send your kids to public school, it means He will empower us equally, yet differently, to raise our children according to his plan for their lives."<br /><br />I will say that to me, the most important "argument" isn't what my fellow believer ought to do or not do. It is the firm belief that the right of true choice really ought to be offered far better than it is. <br /><br />That's my two cents.<br />Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362990873629422919.post-35805068893895980512014-01-17T10:29:26.790-05:002014-01-17T10:29:26.790-05:00Thanks, Gaby, for a balanced look.

We are taking far too long to answer such a simple question." This is yet another reminder that the way God individually loves us is so great, and that our calling is what unifies us, yet the method of our calling is what makes us all unique!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640338712354892492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362990873629422919.post-49632697836420720592014-01-16T22:58:54.800-05:002014-01-16T22:58:54.800-05:00Very well said and from my viewpoint it is the onl...Very well said and from my viewpoint it is the only way that can be the truth. Expressing why we make our decisions is fine but judging others for making a different decision is hurtful and accomplishes nothing but discord.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689221429286228953noreply@blogger.com
