I started my home school journey seventeen years ago when I enrolled my first child in public school. She was left back two times in kindergarten and they wanted me to give her medicine for ADHD. I began to teach her the kindergarten curriculum from home and met a mother who home schooled and taught me all I need to know. I did not know I would have ten other children to home school. I am so blessed to have a child with ADHD. This child is the reason I have a home school ministry. I have another child that has ADHD and I refuse to medicate him. I just let him learn from books that are a few levels lower and allow him to take lots of breaks.On the other hand my ex-husband had diabetes and PTS. He would loose his mind every time his sugar got high. He began cursing and screaming at me and the children all of the time. I had to get a divorce so we could live in peace. In one case mental illness was a blessing in the other it was a curse.We are on this planet to be tested and refined into gold. We are supposed to count every test ALL JOY!!  We should never get depressed and give the devil our JOY!! The Holy Ghost is our JOY if we are depressed we need to ask him to come back in and fill us up with Christ agape love. I named my last daughter Kaylee JOY!!. I got my divorce when I was pregnant with her three years ago. She is so happy and full of Holy Ghost JOY! I am so happy and full of laughter and JOY in the Holy Ghost!! My God is and awesome God!! Bless YAHWEH!! He loves us so much.
