Year end review
I got this via one of my home school e-groups and thought it was appropriate, especially the timing.
Year End Home School Review
Reflect
Reflect on this past school year.
How was my focus this year? Was I diligent? How successful was the curriculum? Did I honor God with my school year?
Psalm 139:23
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts.
2 Corinthians 13:5
Examine yourselves
Refrain
Refrain from being too hard on ourselves
If we have not completed all there is to do, relax! Do not let end-of-the-year pressure to cause us to panic and stress.
Philippians 4:6-7
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Release
Release the guilt of any failures to the Lord?
Seek forgiveness in prayer where needed and don?t dwell on the negative. Dust off our knees and try again.
Psalm 86:5
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
1 John 1:9

Rely
Rely on our Heavenly Father
Seek Him always in our home school endeavors and trust Him in His leading.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Isaiah 40:11
He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
Renew
Renew our home school vision
Get refocused on the purpose we chose to home educate our children.
Deuteronomy 6:6-7
And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Also see Deuteronomy 11:18-21
Repair
Repair the damage, if there is any.
If you feel it necessary, use the summer months to catch up on, complete, or compliment their education. But go easy.
Ephesians 5:16a
Redeeming the time
Colossians 4:5b
redeeming the time
Rejoice
Rejoice that we are not in the alone. The Lord is our strength.
Nehemiah 8:10b
for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
He will equip us! He does not call the qualified. He qualifies the called.
Psalm 32:8
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Resolve
Resolve to make improvements or changes where needed.
Pray for His guidance. Be convinced and determined in our hearts and minds and then do what we need to.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might
Remember
Remember what has worked and what has not.
Let us learn from our successes and from our mistakes and then press on.

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord,
forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
