As
I look back I cannot help but reflect on being a mother and
raising our daughters, I have no real regrets, which is a
tremendous blessing. The real hurt as a mother that I recall
was the threat that the government was over me while I raised
my children. This was because they were home
schooled. Here in New York, we have awful home school laws.
--My daughters are both grown now.
My
oldest has a bachelors degree in biochemistry,
a masters in chemistry, and she is currently
attending grad school. Jessica won many awards and
scholarships, as an undergrad, including
the Barry Goldwater
Undergraduate Scholarship, the Outstanding
Achievement
Award and a four year College Presidential Scholarship. She
topped everything off, by graduating with a 4.0
and Highest Honors. Her most recent blessing, is having
won a National
Science Foundation Graduate Research
Fellowship.
My youngest daughter, Becky, who is a real
kick-tush kid, is following right in her older sister's
foot-steps and is in her fourth year of under
grad, in chemistry. She has won numerous awards,
including the Presidential Scholarship for her university and
is constantly making the deans list, as well. It is so cool
that both of my daughters are Christian scientists!
Raising
my daughters was an absolute blessing. I could not have asked
for better daughters. However, I will say that all glory goes
to the Lord. He led me every step of the way. But this is not
to say that there were not hard time, but those hard times
were not from my daughters. The hard times were from my
government.
When I think about how much time was taken
up filling out needless paperwork to hand in to a public
school district that we never used, and how much I
worried that someone was going to take my children, I just
shake my head.
Our
founding fathers would roll over in their graves if they knew
how little freedom parents have today. They would be shocked
to see how much our government governs over parents. It
is my goal as a right-wing Christian conservative
writer/activist to fight to restore the rights of the parent
in this country. My job training up my children is done, but
my job in fighting for their God-given rights in this country,
has just begun.
