This weeks life through the lens challenge was fear. The picture above is fear for me, the idea that i may live to see another of my children or my husband go before me, scares me to death. So i drew a casket for this one. I am not afraid of dying, but i am afraid of losing those that i love and having to try to live without them.

I think my fear of death became much more acute after I had my kids. I try to avoid thinking about it as much as I can.

We need to take good care of ourselves, otherwise we can’t take good care of our loved once.
I feel sorry for your loss of your daughter.

its the way of life… everything created has to end. I lost my mom when I was 15. most scary experience for me it was… but now down the row, when I see my grandpa grandma, my dad.. I somehow know down in my heart that someday ill lose them too. its something inevitable we all have to live with.

It really didnt, lol. I got mushy with my kids and then I let them have candy so they stayed up about 3 hours later than usual. Nah it helped me appreciate what I have even more than I already do.

I just think schools are getting to dangerous, and I dont like some of the things they teach, if I teach my children i can be sure they know the truth of things.

If you didn’t catch this, the video clips of our group in action are short. I never post long clips.

You might like this book in your research. She is not a Christian. She was in fact an (I think Emmy) award winner of a child actress. You might find her homeschool research journey informative. Will most certainly be an engaging read. This was one of my very first posts. I didn’t even know to tag back then! I tagged retro – months later!
