It is amazing how much school is always a part of us. 8 years of elementary, the 4 torturous years of high school, then 4 years of university and THEN still more for others. Then once you become a parent, you do it all over again.
Preschool, Senior Kindergarten, grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Xs the number of kids you have. PHEW! That is a lot of school! And that is just the elementary years!<\/p>\n
My kids are blessed to go to a school (Rhema Christian) where we have become part of an amazing community. Yet while it was a place for them to learn and grow, it has become a huge part of me. Over the years, we have been involved in number of committees etc and Rhema is another piece of me as it is to my kids.<\/p>\n

I also learned that keep God in the mix, He always comes thru! I learned if you feed them, they will come! I learned that when you need some thing done, ask a busy person. I learned that work and play is a successful combination. <\/p>\n
I learned to let it go and not always have to be right. (That was a hard one). I learned that I have passions and dreams I didn’t even KNOW I had. Boy, school never stops, learning never stops. <\/p>\n
