Driving...finally!!!

At last!! My driving licence!! I had the test this morning, made just two minor mistakes, so that was quite nice! I will be such a help to us, expecially to Richard! School trips will be easier as well now...

I quite enjoy driving, although it is a weird idea that I will be all on my own in the car tomorrow morning... The children were really excited that I passed, and it was such a good thought that they were all praying whilst I was having my test! Imagine having a 'whole' school praying for you! One of them said that he knew I would pass, 'cause they had been praying for me...

We had a really good Sunday yesterday. Mr Thomas preached in the evening, that was very good! There wasn't much of a line in his sermon, but it was very good and comforting and helpful! We hoped he would take chapel time at school on Thursday, but unfortunately they can't come, as they are booked up the rest of the week...

Anyway, I will have to go, as some cooking will need to be done, and then some preparation for tomorrow...

The New School!

We have had our first week at school! Time is rather precious at the moment, but just a quick update!

We started on Monday with the 3 children, and we had a great time! They really enjoyed it, even though it is sad having just the 3 of them! By the end of the week it got worse...one of them was ill, the other one is being her usual self from what she was at her previous school, unfortunately... We really pray for her that she will come to see her needs, and realise what life is like...

But apart from that it is great. Today we had our first outing, to the National Waterway museum. Not very spectacular, but it was just to relax and do something different. Academically this curriculum is fantastic, but very hard work, so it is nice to do something different!
The afternoons are really good as well. It is very nice to have discussions, speak about Literature, statements etc from a Christian viewpoint, and to discuss things together. It is quite amazing how much they know!

God has really blest us, even though we look minute at the moment, but spiritualy we feel that already we have grown as a school. We trust God for the future, and we pray that at least one more family will join with us! It is so good for children to be there, and the sooner the better! It is good to train children in a Godly way and a Godly environment, so teach them to think in a Biblical way, to look at life froma Christian perspective! And children really blossom under that, and I know that God blesses the families that try to train the child in the way that it should go!

But anyway, anyone, feel free to come and see 'the school', we're usually there, apart from Wednesday mornings when we go to the leisure centre... Just come in and we'll make you a cupper and show you round, and indoctrinate and brainwash you on the spot...
