Everybody knows the story of Daniel and his friends in Daniel chapter one. He resolved not to defile himself with the unclean food of the Babylonians because he was a servant of the Lord. The guard agreed to let Daniel and his friends eat a different diet that would honor the God of Israel.
"At the end of ten days they look healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. So the guard took away the choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead. To these four men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds," (Daniel 1:15-17 NIV).
Daniel's Choice Leads to Blessing
Not only did God bless these young men spiritually who had resolved not to defile themselves, but he also gave them knowledge and understanding of literature and learning. If we want to raise smart and godly kids, there is only one way to do it! Resolve to not defile them with the world's ways, but instead always seek first the Kingdom of God. The Lord always blesses those whose hope is set on Him!

Our Ministry
Homeschooling high school is more than getting a teenager ready for college or a career. It is a ministry unto the Lord, something we do because God has called us to educate our children and equip them for life. Jesus is our model in the way He loved and taught His disciples, correcting, encouraging, and teaching principles over and over again. Most of all, Jesus revealed God and His truth to His disciples. Our most important ministry is to mentor our children!
You are still the parent in charge during the teenage years and teens need to be parented closely. Build a strong relationship with your teenager, remembering that lives are changed in the context of relationships. All the relationships your child has will impact him/her, so decide who you will allow to influence your teenager. Maintain vigilance at all times!
