After much debating, wrestling, and prayer...lots of prayer...My husband and I decided to homeschool this year.
I am still kicking out past ideas and notions that I had about homeschooling (i.e. they are Quakers/Puritans, socially stunted). I have decided that those are the opinions of society and not necessarily mine.
Our official first day of homeschooling felt like an official day. Excitement the night before and jitters the morning of the first day. We planned to complete our homeschooling at the local library-starting at 9 am. Much to my surprise the library did not open until 10am! It is times like this when your type A, inflexibility nature surfaces. We ran an errand and came back to the library at 10am. As we set up the two laptops and logged on...I breathed with a sigh of relief. Thank you Lord! It's working. We CAN do this! I stepped back in pride at what God is piecing and weaving together in our marriage, our family and our children. The best thing is, He is just getting started. This is just day one. This is just the beginning.
“I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.”- Psalm 116:1-2
Come what may this school year, I know that God is there for it all. He hears my cheers, grunts, and moans. He is always here and we as moms are never alone. We always having a loving Dad to turn to at any moment of the day!
