Summary

Not every young person knows what they want to do when they graduate from high school. In fact, those that do are the exception, not the rule.  However, there is SO much pressure for our young people to make decisions they are simply not ready to make.  College is becoming less and less relevant and our kids are finding themselves floundering.  Because of this pressure, many students go through the motions of continuing education without owning what they are doing and others just become paralyzed and do nothing. Today I am talking with our 19-year-old son, Luke, as we share our experience of navigating the post-high school years.  Luke is our 5th born, 3rd son) and, as you will learn from our conversation, has learned that this journey looks different for every family AND for every child. You will be encouraged as we talk about what it looks like to walk through these post-high school years TOGETHER!

Hey everyone. This is Dorenda Wilson. Welcome to this week's podcast. You may or may not know me already,

0:16.2

but if you don't, I'm married to Daryl. We've been married for 28 years. We've got eight kids,

0:21.6

ages 13 to 27. We have four grandkids, and we have been homeschooling for 22 plus years.

0:29.1

Every week, I say the same thing because there are always new listeners, and I joke around with

0:34.8

my regular listeners, hoping that they're not getting tired of hearing the

0:38.6

same thing over and over again, but I keep being told to go ahead and repeat it the same way.

0:42.9

So that's what I'm doing.

0:44.8

When we were in Massachusetts, we had a host family we stayed with.

0:47.8

And like I said last week, the kids all have that memorized.

0:51.2

And so I want to give a big shout out to those four little cuties that we

0:55.6

got to spend time with. And that would be Ava and Ben and Drew and Eliza. We had so much fun

1:03.6

with you guys. Thanks for being here. So like I said before, some of you don't know me. And so you may

1:10.1

not know that I have a couple of books.

1:12.5

The first one is The Unhurried Homestooler. And I just refer to that as a simple, mercifully short book on homeschooling.

1:19.8

Go check that out on Amazon. I think you'll be encouraged. The other one I've written just came out in January.

1:25.2

And it is Unhurried Grace for a Mom's heart. This one is a 31-day

1:29.9

devotional written specifically for moms. So if you're needing to get back into the word,

1:34.2

I'm telling you, this is a great study for moms because each devotional is really just mom-size

1:42.3

and length, and yet there's enough depth there that you're really going to be

1:45.9

growing in your knowledge of the word. Also, anybody out there that I could possibly meet,

1:51.6

I would love to see you at Teach Them Diligently, May 17th to the 19th. This particular conference

1:57.9

is in Myrtle Beach. Now, Teach Them Diligently has conferences all over the country, so you can hit any of those
