Role model

Being a role model. This weighs heavy on my heart a lot. What kind of person am I teaching my children to be? I feel like I am doing a pretty good job of showing them how to be. I had a wonderful upbringing but there are things that I would have changed. Mostly going to Church regularly. I now see that finding a good church is hard to come by(not saying that was the issue) thus the reason we drive to our Church even living far away. I really try to watch what I do and say so that I am setting a good example. I strive daily to give Rowdy a firm foundation of God by studying the bible with him, giving him memory verses each week to both write and memorize, and by going to Church not because we have to but because we yearn to learn more about God. I really do think that Church attendance is so very important to raising a child. If we don't attend regularly then why should they go EVER? There is so much they can learn at Church about God and it makes it easy to come home and practice those teachings. I also strive very hard to give Rowdy the best education that I can. I did not have that great of an education and I really want him to have better. Oh, I had good teachers along the way but they didn't follow me all the way through school and help me along. I made good grades for the most part but when it came time to college I was VERY unprepared. So much so that I only went to the Community College for 1 year and was in tears for the most part through most all of that. I was in remedial course for everything. It was very disheartening to a mostly "A" student.I don't want that for Rowdy. I am really learning along the way and we are only at the beginning. I will be able to take college courses after I get done homeschooling and probably pass with no issues. I could careless about going to college at this point in my life. I have found my calling and I am truly content with it. I think my kids see my love for God, Kris and them among other family and friends. I am truly blessed but I know with God's help all these things can be improved and I am ready and willing for any changes in my spiritual life.
