I've never been one to consider a fast track for homeschooling. If anything, I'm much more the slow pace type.
And yet, it's a funny thing what happens in the heart when we're committed to following Jesus.
"Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand."
Proverbs 19:21
Sometimes He changes things up. Sometimes, He stirs something new. We've been through this type of transition before. We've seen the Lord take our committed hearts in a totally different direction when He's changed the chapter, like the turning of tides.
Yes, He has redirected our hearts in homeschooling before and so He has again...toward a fast(er) track.
"The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps."
Proverbs 16:9
It's ironic. It really is. But, when there is a goal in mind and eternal focus, we move when we sense movement. We want to be doers, and so we are. This time, the movement is taking the form of a fast track through high school and it's really not so far fetched. Such things are significantly more elusive and intimidating from afar. But here we are, high school upon us and Brodie joins the ranks. He's ready. He'll be joining Aida on an intentional rhythm. Together, they'll be achieving goals and together, they'll be focused Godward. They want to know and accomplish His will and we sense the time has come.
And so we bunker down with a plan. We have a goal in mind. We've sought the Lord and can see He's confirming that this is the route for us all. We're thankful for our team. With graduation in mind and closer than we'd realized before, we hope to ready our young adults for what's next. Lord, please continue to show us what's next on this fast track aimed toward you.
"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
Matthew 6:33
