Three years ago, with a baby and
two two-year olds, we had made the decision to home educate our family. I was
aware this decision might bring challenges, and that it was important to remain
faithful to our convictions and to draw from the wisdom and resources of
others. So we launched www.homeeducationnovice.blogspot.com.
For three years I have posted here, at least once a week and this site will
remain - hopefully the archive will continue to challenge and encourage, and I will respond to comments. However I have increasingly come to realise that our decision to home
educated is simply one element of our life of faith – desiring to live for
Christ in all things, and not follow the pattern of the world. Whilst home
education will remain a major part of our lives for the foreseeable future, I
have increasingly wanted to write about the life of faith – about global
mission, about serving God as a family, about hospitality and relationships,
about Christians in secular leadership roles, about financial priorities, about
Christian marriage, family life and spiritual growth. So on the third
anniversary of homeeducationnovice, I am launching An Abundant Adventure
(www.anabundantadventure.blogspot.com)
When describing Himself as the Good Shepherd, Jesus promised
‘I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more
abundantly’ (John 10:10). An abundant life is not necessarily an easy life –
elsewhere it is described as entering ‘by the narrow gate’ (Matthew 7:13).
However the twenty two years I have been following the Lord Jesus have
certainly been abundant, and never more so since embarking on parenthood seven
years ago.
It is my prayer that you find the new blog inspiring,
challenging, comforting, refreshing and encouraging.
