My facebook friend Sharon told me about a break-through she had.  In listening to a Sunday hymn, she decided that God was bigger than all her fears – and was EVEN bigger than her fears about transcripts!  She shared with me two key ideas.

1. A Bigger God

Hi Lee, God is bigger than anything—even my HANG-UPS about transcripts! Thanks to you—and Him for giving me this creative idea—to put a big piece of paper (do ALL homeschoolers have rolls of nearly used-up news print from the local newspaper?! Good stuff!) on the wall and start filling in my daughter’s transcript with magic marker. As I walk by through out the day, I add to it til it is complete!

2. Bigger Transcripts

Kinesthetic learners will learn to better when they use large body movement.  That’s why Spelling Power includes lessons on how to write very
VERY large as a technique for  teaching kinesthetic learners to spell.  Use that same strategy with your transcript.  Put a GIANT piece of paper on the wall, and write your transcript bit by bit, in little pieces, like Sharon. If you are stuck, try a bigger transcript.

3. Bigger Country Sound

If you are interested, this is the hymn that Sharon was referencing. Here are the lyrics to the country hymn “Bigger Than Any Mountain”
Bigger than all my problems, Bigger than all my fears
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see
Bigger than all my questions, Bigger than anything
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see
Bigger than all the shadows that fall across my back
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see
Bigger than all the confusion, Bigger than anything
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see
Bigger than all the giants, fear and unbelief
God is bigger than any mountain I can or cannot see
Bigger than all my hangups, Bigger than anything
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see
