Dear Parent,As homeschool parents, our goal goes beyond preparing our children to graduate. We arepreparing them for adulthood and helping them discover what God is calling them to do.This journey starts early—long before high school—because God has already instilled Hisplan in them, and it’s our job to help draw that out.Work is a biblical concept—everything in creation has a purpose. From the birds in the skyto the trees in the forest, every part of creation has a role. So do our children. Whether it’sin law enforcement, healthcare, business, ministry, motherhood, or any other field, God hasa unique calling for each of them.Together, we can help guide your child to recognize how they are uniquely created,understand the passions and purpose God has placed in their hearts, and step confidentlyinto their calling to serve Him and others.Thank you for entrusting me with this part of your child’s journey. I look forward topartnering with you to help them discover and live out their purpose with confidence.For His glory, Tia MarieFounder, Life Beyond HomeschoolA Personal WelcomeTia Marie© Life Beyond Homeschool.
