Welcome to 2012!

Hello, girls, and welcome to 2012, a year of great goals and opportunities. My name is Abigail Rogers, and I am thrilled to begin this group, Altogether Separate, for the glory of God and the encouragement of Christian homeschool girls!

I think that there are times when all of us feel alone, when we lose sight of our purpose and wish that we had a personal coach to get us back on track and encourage us to keep going strong. This blog is meant to give you some of that support, to be a network of girls with different backgrounds and different worldviews, but similar issues and joys and hopes. I hope that you will all help make it a spring of inspiration, a source of insight and information, and just plain fun :) When girls set their minds to something, what can’t they do?

I’m so glad that this blog already has some followers, and I hope that the number will explode in the coming weeks and months! Here are the top five reasons you should be an active member of this group:

1. Making friends: Maybe you don't know that many Christian homeschool girls. Well there are a lot of us out here wanting to meet you! 
2. Mutual encouragement: We can share our personal struggles, prayer requests, etc., and give help to those who need it.
3. Fascinating information: We can learn so much from one another! Through blog posts, discussion forums threads, emails, etc. we can communicate some awesome wisdom.
4. Lively discussions: From thorny theological issues to our favorite girl-talk, we can have some great chats on the blog, forum, or live text/voice/video chat.
5. Working together: If you're passionate about a project, ministry, or other endeavor and you want to get other people on board, this is the place to do it!
