We have made some changes to this years school curriculum and now we are making more changes. It is not all figured out and planned yet, but I'm getting excited and hopefully we can get it all together by Thanksgiving. Allen Sr. and I have been thinking and praying about applying to the Advanced Training Institute www.ati.iblp.org/ati/ through Bill Gothard and IBLP. This (ATI) was founded in 1984, the year I graduated from High School. My parents and I actually did part of the program even though I was already out of school. We did it for several years, but then I went on to get a job, etc. Allen and I have considered the program a few different times since we have been homeschooling Makaela and each time did not feel it was the Lord's will. Well over the summer, we approached the subject again. We became excited and even started the process, twice we had a "death of a vision" for our family. So we just waited and then felt the Lord prompting us to apply and watch him work. We were accepted and sent off our forms. This week we received our first box of goodies. We have a 13 hour DVD that we are to watch first, that will help us in our efforts. We have watched about 4 -5 hours so far. It is too much to digest in one sitting. In saying all of that, I can't wait to get started and enjoy this program as a family. It will go along with our Character training and hopefully build Godly character in each of us. Allen and I are excited about learning along with the children.
