Learning is always more fun when we find ourselves invested and interested in our subject matter.
In this case, with our upcoming adoption and travels to China we've decided it's the perfect opportunity to do some research.
The fact that it's Chinese New Year certainly encourages our current enthusiasm,
but our adoption journey is the main reason China has captured our attention.
I must say, to think of Elka and Brodie actually experiencing the Great Wall in person after having learned about it makes me thrilled! They're the lucky siblings who get to accompany their dad to China once our adoption is complete (prayerfully this coming fall). Especially for Elka, who has dreamt of this moment for years, this trip will literally be a dream come true!
And, for Aida, who got to visit Beijing in 2011 on a mission trip with her dad,
studying what she has already experienced first hand definitely brings it all to life.
What a privilege it is to homeschool! What a joy to send my children to far off places in Jesus' name where they can grow in compassion for the world around them. May this be only the beginning for each one of them!
"Let the nations be glad and sing for joy."
Psalm 67:4
