ICHE Conference Feedback

Wed, 06/16/2010

An exact quote from the ICHE blog post Greener Grass "excitement about how God is working in you through the process of the conference. I missed the feeling that homeschooling was something more than just an academic pursuit – it’s the pursuit of God and His will for our families’ lives".

You can't say it any better. I was persistently trying to comment after reading this blog because I just wanted to shout AMEN! I got to experience all this and more at this year's convention.

I just wanted to share two of the most important things I got out of this year's convention. First & foremost I need to come up with a wonderful biblical based character curriculum. This is so so important and though most of us do it in some way we often overlook its value. If they haven't been taught Godly character what is all their academic knowledge worth? Nothing! Yes, you can obtain oodles of knowledge and still be a jerk & basically useless individual.

Second my marriage. I've always felt that I was the one who was so wronged in my marriage. Well, God had a different message for me,"maybe you have been wronged, but that's no excuse for your poor actions & words. Let's look at what you have done wrong". Did you hear the YOU as in me, how I have sinned. How earth shattering I have actually done something wrong in my marriage. God is searching my heart & revealing to me all the ways I have sinned against my husband & giving me a lot of work to do!

Thank you ICHE for this wonderful opportunity to grow and grow and grow. My advice to any future attendees would be make academic and curriculum the last thing on your mind when coming into the conference. Open your heart, soul, & mind and see what He does with you.
