we see the specialist tomorrow. i so want it not to be bad news. She has been through soooo much already. She is struggling with a bit of post trauma depression, but is getting help. I guess I just love her too much to see her hurt anymore.

Hi
I am from South africa. I was born here...moved to Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) where I grew up... back here after school. I met my hubby in a mission organization and have lived in Botswana, Mosambique and zambia. (I alsom stayed in Namibia before we were married)

We are back in south Africa now for a time of healing for me (Past abuse) and my older daughter (motor accident) We long to go back to the field, but that time will come.

Thank you

Could you please pray for my daughter. she was in a major car accident at the end of 2004. she has been througfh a lot. she is seeing her eye specialist on Monday. She has lost almost all her sight in the one eye and a lot in the other. Her eyes are giving her a lot of trouble.

We are really afraid that she will loose more sight and won't be able to get her liscece to drive. She is also strugglig to study. She is meant to write her finals at the end of the year.

The last movie we watched was the notebook. what a wonderful husband he was. such unconditional love and God's is even greater than his!!!!

 HELLO
I am also new here and also on active duty as a home school mom.

I have one little concern. How do you think your neighbour will respond if he somehow finds out that you have his cat? Do you think it will cause even bigger problems than if you told him about it.

Perhaps if you prayed and asked God to give you favour in your neighbours eyes and told him that his cat has been staying with you. I think God is big enough to intervene and then you don't risk causing bad relationships by saying nothing. Just a thought.

This is a really hard decision for you to make. i think you did the right thing in taking the cat in. after all abuse is abuse and shouldn't be allowed to happen. even to an animal.

I am not sure what to say about what to do next. I would find this desicion hard too. Guess you could ask your Best Friend for some advice. (Jesus)

How is it going with Jeremy and Jeff, today. Lifting them before God. can so much identify!! My oldest son and daughter were in a major accident about 18 months ago!! Praying for their families as i know a little of the trauma they are going through.

One of the main reasons we started homeschooling is because as missionaries we travel a lot and potable school helps us to be a missionary family. We do not have mks (missionary kids) but we are all missionaries in our own ways.

The reasons the children didn't go back into a school when we came back is because 1) they would have been really bored. Here the standard of education has unfortunatelly fallen some. But most importantly the schools have becomes places with agendas (political as well as religious...meaning non-christian)

But I guess the most important reason is becos God asked me to make a commitment to homeschoolth children until they leave home. How could I say no.

Someone once told me of a missionary lady who schooled 2 young black boys in an africa village somewhere. she constantly would ask God why she had to do this. Surely there were far more important an needy jobs she could fulfil than this. Yet she remained faithful and obedient to God.

Both young boys grew up to make a major impact for God's kingdom. I know that God has a plan for all 4 my children and if I am allowed to play a small part in this then I am grateful!!!

AirIam2worship, I am so sorry you lost out on that opportunity. I am glad though that your daughter has such a wonderful privilage.

We were amonst the first families here to homeschool, so it is fairly new in our country and not always highly esteemed.

hello everyone.

What I do right now. i homeschool 2 of my children. It's what God has called me to do, it's what I will do. Besides i enjoy doing it! We are doing the histoyr of God's kingdom this year and we are loving it!!!!

we are actually a missionary family and have been to a few places in Africa and loved it. at this stage we are based at 'home' in South Africa due to my oldest daughter having been in a major car accident and needing treatmant and myself needing time to heal from a horrific childhood.

I fought the idea of only really being involved in homescooling for sometime, but I have settled in my heart that that is my task which God has set for me now. It's all I can really cope with anyway.

Thank you everyone. I'll go on a search
