Prayer request - Starting Rev to Rev
Posted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 6:48 am
I posted a week or more back about coming back to HOD this year. (I have one in Preparing and two in Beyond.) I did not place my oldest at that time. He loves to read and hates to write. We did part of RTR last year until my dh came home on leave from Afg. (He is now home for good!), but at the time the disruption got us off track. When the other children asked to return to HOD a couple weeks ago, I didn't suggest it to my oldest. I decided to pray about it instead. Then last week he came to me to ask for a change with his science. I said I was glad he wanted to talk, because I wanted to discuss his history. He had been doing a ton of reading, but not any writing, and I told him that was insufficient to count for history. Anyway, long story short.... he liked what I showed him about the science in RevtoRev, so I told him it was a package deal - we need to do the science and the history. He was agreeable to that. I do think this is an answer to prayer! Because of some other things we are doing this year, I'm not going to be able to incorporate all components of RevtoRev - so I suppose we are economizing - doing the history and both sciences (though I will not complain if he asks for us to add in more from the guide later!).
Our RevtoRev order is scheduled to be delivered on Wednesday (7th). We will have a short week this week and next so I plan to start with day 1 and 2 this week (Thursday and Friday) and day 3 and 4 next week. Will you please pray that his heart and head are willing to do the assignments without complaint and that he will be blessed in doing them? I know in the long run we will be happy with the change, but I would love for us both to be blessed with peace and joy from the very beginning. He is the guinea pig who has suffered the consequences of past curriculum hopping, I would love for him to feel like we have finally found "curriculum home sweet home." Please pray for both of us.... also for me to have patience and trust in the Lord whether our start is smooth or rocky.
Thank you!
