This is the software I'm using to track our homeschool activities. It's called, appropriately enough, Homeschool Tracker :) I'm using the free Basic version, but they also offer a paid version with more bells and whistles. So far, I'm happy with it - it allows you to track multiple students, create and track assignments in multiple subjects, keep track of resources, keep a daily journal, record field trips, etc. Grading is optional, which is nice since I am not scoring anything yet, you can just mark an assignment 'completed' if you don't want to assign it any points.

You can download the software here: http://www.homeschooltracker.com/tracker_basic.aspx

Yay! Today was yet another test... this one was on rifle drill, and in spite of being a little nervous, he passed it. A couple more tests later this week, then next week they're out for field exercises. I sent him a care package last week, which arrived today, loaded with energy bars, beef jerky and snacks to take out there with him, plus some odds and ends that I though might come in handy. He got some teasing when a few of the guys saw that I sent along baby wipes - but one of the officers pointed out that baby wipes are a soldier's best friend out in the field.

So there, boys. LOL

Philippians 4:6-7

Philippians 4:6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Bring your needs to God - don't just sit around and worry or be stressed! God can meet all your needs.

By coming to God with my needs, by coming to Him about everything, I open myself to His peace, which will fill me and keep me from the fear that could otherwise grip my heart and mind.
