We are ready to start week 2 of our school year! I thought I would do a little blogging about our school year.
I have had many people recently say "I don't know how you do it". I can honestly say- I don't do it!!! The Lord is my strength!! I honestly have days that I dread the day because of the work it takes. I have had moments that I thought it would be easier to not homeschool. I could afford more if I worked and didn't school the boys. Then I look at the alternatives. I see many children not succeeding academically because time is not taken by the parents to put their best in their child's education. I have seen children also struggling in their walk with God because of the influences from public school. On the other hand I am inspired and spurred on by many successful homeschoolers around me - godly families that I see their children growing academically and spiritually. Some of them have students graduated and others with a child graduating this year.
I know homeschooling is not for everyone. I am not putting down or condemning anyone who makes other choices. It is a personal choice each family must make. I do think we can learn by watching others. We have to make the best decision for our children.
God tells us in James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
As we make decisions for our children we need to examine and be sure our decisions are not selfishly motivated but truly what we think God wants for for us and our children.
I am by NO means perfect nor do I have it all together!
I am constantly asking God to help me and yet I find my self making selfish decisions. Only through the strength of God am I able to follow what God wants me to do.
As I prepare for week 2, I ask God to help me follow through each day with the task set before me. Only with the help of the Holy Spirit can I succeed!
