Wellspring School

So I've made our school name - Wellspring School

I used to work at a bookstore called Wellspring, which has since closed but have always taken the verse it was based on to heart.

Proverbs 4:23

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. (NIV)

Watch over your heart with all diligence,
For from it flow the springs of life. (KJV)


I started to realize that teaching at home is much about the matters of the heart, not just the feeding of the mind. Thus, Wellspring School seemed very appropriate.


As I have been chatting with my neice, who is also homeschooling, I am reminded that this journey of homeschooling is teaching me much more about myself and my own character. Now the challenge for me is what to do with those teachings. In some cases they are very much my character flaws and sometimes there is the blessing of knowing that through the weakness comes blessing.


Well, off to see what my character will reveal today.
