(It has been a while since I have blogged, but I wanted to share my college at home story. I had previously written a post about my "whys" of doing college this way. You can read about it, <a href="http://thejourneyofdaughterhood.blogspot.com/2013/01/college-at-home-why.html" target="_blank">here</a>!)</div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">My Story</span></h2>
<div align="center">
I have had the privilege of being homeschooled my whole life. It has been the greatest blessing! My parents have always felt like it was their God-given responsibly to train me and my sister in His ways...even in school! I am grateful that they have chosen to live out the Biblical model of keeping us under their protection until the Lord brings our husbands (if He so wills). Thankfully, this responsibility did not just end once I graduated homeschool high school (in 2012). I always knew I would not "go off" to a college campus, so I was excited to see how the Lord would work out the whole "college thing." :) <em>(Side note: The reason I pursued a college education was for the sole reason of having a degree in case the government required it to homeschool my children, one day...it was easier to do it now, than 10+ years down the road!)</em> During my high school years, the Lord introduced my family to the wonderful world of credit by exams (CLEP, DSST, ECE exams). Little did I know that this would be the answer to our prayers! Over the course of my last two years of high school, I accumulated almost 60 college credits before my graduation. As of December 2013, I completed the requirements of a Bachelor's Degree in History and applied for graduation from Thomas Edison State College...all without ever having to live on a college campus! I only had to take two online guided/independent classes (my Capstone and another history class)...the rest of my credits were credit by exams. I am amazed at how the Lord continually provided the tests for me to take! </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
As of today (March 7, 2014), I can finally say that I am a college graduate!!! I am so humbled by the Lord's faithfulness and grace. Looking back over my schooling years, I always knew He would get me to this point of being a homeschool-through-college grad. At the time, we were not sure how that would play out, but we continued to strive to follow His Word and His leading. We did not get the "whole picture," all at once, but He kept reaffirming this journey. Culture will tell you that you need your "freedom," you need to "find yourself...by yourself," "you can't homeschool after high school," and other such things. My story is a prime example of how, through His grace, I was able to stay under my Daddy's protection and still receive a college education. I am the first to admit that I don't have it all together and there were ups and downs along the way, but I can attest to the fact that this was and is the greatest blessing!!! </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
You might be thinking..."You have your degree and you're done with school, so now what?" My desire is to serve the Lord, where He has me! This includes continuing to do the things I love (anyone who knows me well, knows I love to garden, craft, bake, etc.), helping Daddy with <a href="https://www.craigchurchministries.org/" target="_blank">Craig Church Ministries</a>, serving my family while learning homemaking skills, running my home-businesses (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/thatssewtaylor" target="_blank">That's Sew Taylor</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LillaRose.ForHisGlory" target="_blank">Lilla Rose</a>), and seeking to follow Him where He leads. I pray that these skills I learn, now, will one day bless my future family (if that is in His plan).</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Of the many blessings of doing college at home, these stand out to me... </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<h4 align="center">
<span style="color: #e06666;">I was able to stay under my father's protection.</span> </h4>
<div align="center">
I know I keep "harping" on this, but I believe it is a vital, Biblical truth that many are missing out on! I believe it is the Lord's best for daughters to stay under this protection, until He gives this responsibility to their husbands.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<h4 align="center">
<span style="color: #e06666;">I was able to continue learning to be a homemaker</span>.</h4>
<div align="center">
I believe in the Titus 2 model of women being keepers of the home. College does not teach young ladies "to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, t<span class="text Titus-2-5" id="en-KJV-29914">o be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands." (Titus 2:4b-5) These aspects are so important that the verse ends with, "...that the word of God be not blasphemed." I am grateful that I did not have to spend four years, while getting an education, away from my home...the place where I am able to learn these valuable traits. (Believe me...I am still a work in progress, but I am thankful for a wonderful teacher!) :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span class="text Titus-2-5"></span> </div>
<h4 align="center">
<span class="text Titus-2-5"><span style="color: #e06666;">I was able to pursue my other interests.</span></span></h4>
<div align="center">
<span class="text Titus-2-5"> As I mentioned above, the Lord has given me several interests and I am thankful I was able to continue to pursue them, these past few years. (It's kind of hard to bake cookies and grow tomatoes in a college dorm.) ;) In all seriousness, I have learned so much, in addition to my schooling...I'm glad I got to do both!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span class="text Titus-2-5"></span> </div>
<h4 align="center">
<span class="text Titus-2-5"><span style="color: #e06666;">I was in an environment that put God first in every aspect.</span></span></h4>
<div align="center">
I know there are many conservative Christian colleges out there, but no place compares to home and the one-on-one discipleship you receive from your parents! </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
In closing, I would to thank my Daddy and Momma for always striving to follow God's Word and praying for me! They and Leah were my biggest cheerleaders and constant encouragement. (A "thank you" is not adequate for all of the time, effort, resources, prayers, sacrifices, encouragement, and love they gave...I hope you know how thankful I am!) A big thank you to my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins who would lift me in prayer when they would get the "I'm getting ready to take a test" email. :) Thank you to my dear friends who prayed and rejoiced with me along the way. Each email and word of encouragement meant so much!!! Most of all, I would like to thank my Lord and Savior who walked with me each step!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
As you can see, I am very blessed and humbled by the Lord's goodness! May He receive the glory!</div>

In reference of the tragedy of this week, I believe we are given "glimpses" of the things to come. Why? So we can prepare. It is going to get hard...maybe not tomorrow or next week, but in the near future. We need to prepare ourselves to be able to stand for Christ. It has been relatively easy, thus far...we live in a free country where being a follower of Christ is not life-threatening. What if all that changes? It is a convicting and challenging thought.

If we put our complete trust in Jesus, He will not fail us. I have experienced this in my own life. No matter how "dark" it gets, He has never let me down...He has always been there. The trials still come, but with Him, I can live in victory. </div>

Satan knows our power is in the Lord Jesus Christ, so he often tries to get us to walk in our own power, which causes us to fail. It is easy to try to find strength in ourselves, taking our eyes off Jesus. We cannot overcome on our own! Our strength only comes from above! I encourage you to stand firm...don't listen to the lies of Satan. When the hard times come, trust Him and He will see you through. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I get a lot of questions about college. After all, I am a homeschool graduate, so I "need" to gain my "freedom" and go off to college. (I use the words in quotations very loosely.) I am not saying a college education is bad, but I am getting ahead of myself! I would like to share my answers to the, "3 Why's of College at Home..."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">{1.} "Why at home?"</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What's so special about being home, in the first place? I am so glad you asked! :) According to the Bible (our greatest guidebook), daughters stayed under their father's protection, until the Lord brought their husbands, if marriage was His plan. For example, the story of Isaac and Rebekah (Genesis 24) shows that Rebekah was still in her father's care, when Abraham's servant met her at the well. She was spending her days serving her family. Another example, is Jacob and Rachel (Genesis 29). Even Esther was under her guardian's (cousin's) protection, when she was summoned to the king (Esther 2). With that said, <span style="font-family: inherit;">I am a firm believer that daughters are supposed to stay under their father’s/parent’s protection, until the Lord brings their husbands, if He so wills. Therefore, “going off to college” is not an option, for me. I find such joy in being a daughter-at-home!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">{2.} "Why do you want a college education?"</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My heart’s desire is to be a stay-at-home mom/wife (Titus 2:4-5), therefore I don’t need a degree to get a job. I am pursuing my BA, for the <u><strong>sole</strong></u> purpose of being prepared, in case our nation requires a college education to homeschool your children. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;"><strong>{3.} "Why CLEP's?"</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mom and dad prayed for years for a way to do “college” at home...even when I was a little! The Lord brought CLEP’s into our lives and we haven’t looked back since! We are so grateful for this option and praise the Lord for His faithfulness to answer our prayers. Pursuing a degree through CLEPing allows me to stay at home, but also earn my degree! I am under my father's protection and I am able to pursue different interests, while doing school. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;">~~~~~~~~~~~</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">You might ask, "What about me? I do not have a supportive family or the option to stay at home." We live in a fallen world, so there are situations when stay-at-home daughterhood is not possible. I urge you to pray and seek the Lord! He can turn a hard situation into a good one. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">The Lord has been revealing to me the power of prayer. A few weeks ago, I read, "This Present Darkness" by Frank Peretti. I highly recommend it, though be forewarned...it is not for the faint at heart! After the first three chapters, my prayer life was changed. Sometimes, we need a "visual" image to help us understand. Actually "seeing" the spiritual warfare and the impact of prayer makes you want to engage in the battle. Prayer is not easy and Satan wants to distract us from using our source of strength.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #e06666;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e06666;"> “Depend upon it, if you are bent on prayer, the devil will not leave you
alone. He will molest you, tantalize you, block you, and will surely find some
hindrances, big or little or both. And we sometimes fail because we are ignorant
of his devices…I do not think he minds our praying about things if we leave it
at that. What he minds, and opposes steadily, is the prayer that prays on until
it is prayed through, assured of the answer.” </span><span style="color: #e06666;">Mary Warburton Booth</span> </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #666666;"> </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #666666;">In a battle, you do not fire only one shot and then think you have done your part. You are constantly penetrating the enemy, fighting for the good. Prayer is so much more that just a little saying...it is talking to our Father, Creator, Sustainer, Healer, Almighty God. I have been guilty, in my prayer life, of just getting it done and checking it off the list. When that happens, I am missing out on communing with my Savior and interceding on behalf of my family in Christ.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #666666;"> </span></div>
<div align="center">
<strong><em><span style="color: #666666;">" Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints..." (Ephesians 6:18)</span></em></strong></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">"Don’t pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep
it. A man is powerful on his knees." </span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="color: #e06666;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #666666;">I encourage you to talk to the Lord, during your quiet time, but also throughout the day. Bring the little problems to Him and grow in your fellowship. He is a Friend that sticks closer than a brother. Also, use your time of prayer to praise Him! If you are a child of the King, we have so much to be thankful for!</span> </span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #666666;">I have definitely not arrived, in this area, and it is a daily struggle, but I purpose to strive to engage in the battle! I encourage you to pray...it is our strength!</span><br />
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-size: large;"> "...[the] power of prayer can never be overrated. They who cannot serve God by preaching need not regret. If a man can but pray he can do anything. He who knows how to overcome with God in prayer has Heaven and earth at his disposal." Charles H. Spurgeon</span></span><br />

For starters, I suppose I should introduce myself. :)</div>

<div align="center">
I'm Taylor and I am a 17 year old, homeschool graduate. My "occupation" is a stay-at-home daughter. I am currently earning my degree through CLEPing, which enables me to be under my father's protection. (As a side note, I wouldn't have it any other way!) I am so grateful to be a child of the King and thankful for the blessing of a wonderful family. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Over the past year, the Lord has burdened me over embracing our roles as daughters. In our culture, it is acceptable (and commended) for us, girls, to go out into the world and just "wing-it." I feel, instead, the Lord has much higher plans and will lead us, if we let Him. I look forward to sharing what the Lord is teaching me... </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Many blessings!</div>

Their Christ-centered instruction and counter-cultural convictions are a blessing in this dark world! I am thankful for their godly wisdom which I, hopefully, will use in my own marriage, in the future. I know that they would be the first to admit that marriage is not always easy...but I can hear Daddy, as he preaches on the family, "If I am under the headship of the Lord Jesus and I put her needs before my needs and she puts my needs before her needs...it's heaven on earth!" :) Can you tell I love my Daddy and Momma?

I love the enveloping coolness of the evening after a warm day, the fresh scent of the earth as we pull weeds or plant flowers, the trickling of the hose as we water the garden, the sheer beauty of creation as it comes to the day's close, and the joy of just being together as a family.

I believe it is Biblical for young women to stay under their father's protection, until the Lord brings their husbands. The only reason I am pursuing my degree is so I can be prepared if our nation, one day, requires a college education to homeschool our children. I am preparing to be a stay-at-home wife and mother.
