My prayer for this school year:
Lord,
Thank you for this blessing to teach my children at home. I know that you have in trusted me with them. May I honor you in all that I do. Please guide me through this year. Help me to better understand my girls so that I can meet their needs in all areas: spiritually, physical, mental and emotional. Lord, I believe that you have a purpose for them, may this year draw them closer to you. I rest my hopes for them in Your hands and ask that You continue to keep my family humble, growing stronger daily in our love for You.
All your children shall be taught by the Lord, And great shall be the peace of your children. Isaiah 54:13

We're doing zoology 1 this year too. My daughter is very excited.
Hi! I'm here from the Not Back-to-School blog hop!
It looks like you have a very well-planned year. I'm impressed that your daughter practices piano for two hours a day! How long has she been playing?
Thanks for the link to Eat Your Way Around the World... I hadn't seen that book before and it looks ~delicious~!
Have a great year!
Hi! Thanks for your comment on my blog! I may "steal" your bible study idea. (: That would be so neat to do! God Bless your school year!
Awesome! I love your prayer for the year...and I'm looking forward to someday doing the one-on-one Bible study you talked about here! How special! Thanks for sharing that!
I like the idea of spending one on one time with each girl for Bible study, and your prayer is beautiful. Have a great year!
I love your prayer. It brought tears to my eyes. That is exactly what I pray for my girls as well. Have a blessed school year! :)
We are using Apologia and Wordly Wise too and enjoy both of them!
You have a wonderful school year planned out.
Blessings to you for a happy and healthy year ahead!
Wow! Two hours of piano each day? That's quite a bit of piano, huh? I'll remind my boys of this the next time they start asking if they are almost done after their 15 minutes. ;) (They like it, they just sometimes ask often.)
Love your prayer! Amen! I know your year with be wonderful!
I'm inspired by your prayer. I've tucked myself a note away to write one up for our homeschool for this year. Thank you for sharing it and linking your post to the NOT Back-to-School blog hop.
Thanks for sharing! I love the idea of being "mom's helper" for three hours! I would love to hear more about that!
How cool that you take each one out for tea and study each week. What great memeories you are making!
Thanks for sharing,
