Dale and I just graduated our third child, Mallory, from Sure Foundation Academy this past weekend. Fourteen years ago when our home school began, the LORD impressed Isaiah 28:16 to me. "So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: 'See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who trusts will never be dismayed.' " Also in 1 Peter 2:6 "For in Scripture it says: 'See I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.' " We named our school after this verse and formed our mindset for our home school from it. I have held onto these verses throughout my teaching years, keeping Jesus as our Cornerstone. Being a home school mom is something more than being a public school teacher. I'm not saying that public school teachers don't care, but home school moms teach their "own" kids. Need I explain further? It is a sacrificial, loving commitment that reaches far deeper than academics.
Cooper was officially dedicated to the LORD during the Mother's Day service at New Foundation Church, Pastor Tim (Grandpa) Officiated Dale Mleynek (Grandpa) prayed a blessing over Cooper, I don't have a picture of it, but Cooper had his hand on the mic when Pastor Tim was dedicating him. It was very sweet. Everyone celebrated at the Bauers' with a wonderful Lunch. It was a great way to finish off the weekend.Here he is Super Cooper!!
