If God is calling you to it, He will help you through it. He let my husband know that was what we were supposed to do way back in 1982 when our oldest child was kindergarten age. And you know NOBODY was hardly homeschooling back then! We were looked on as freaks! And it was really hard to find curriculum, too. In fact, A Beka would not sell to homeschoolers at that time. I went round and round with them. The next year they opened their eyes to the huge market they could have and have been courting the homeschoolers ever since!<BR/><BR/>We....mostly me as the stay-at-home Mom....homeschooled our 3 kids beginning in kindergarten and ending when the last one graduated 12th grade. It was a hard thing. I wanted to quit just about this time every year! But now that I look back on it, it's one of the VERY best things I ever did. All our children went on to college with ACT scholarships. They all are extremely well adjusted adults. Hard workers. Have good jobs. Very socially adept. AND....I wasn't sure if they would be glad they were homeschooled....they have each one told us that they are so glad they got to be homeschooled.<BR/><BR/>I am NOT a disciplined person so don't be fooled into thinking that is a requirement for a homeschool Mom. I am NOT the kind of person who is really laid back with her kids. I am NOT a fun, fun person. But I AM and was a Mama with a vision for her kids and I did everything possible to see that they were given the best possible education. <BR/><BR/>If God is calling you to homeschool, He will give you a COMMITTMENT for it. Even though some days it was a real chore for me, I was committed to seeing it though.<BR/><BR/>Go for it!<BR/><BR/>MarilynMarilyn in Mississippihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16808156475777748077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553706.post-11910077925493736982009-03-25T10:53:00.000-04:002009-03-25T10:53:00.000-04:00Praying for you and the women at Bible study tonig...Praying for you and the women at Bible study tonight!On Purposehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288128432071679901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553706.post-27735787382287291932009-03-25T09:53:00.000-04:002009-03-25T09:53:00.000-04:00I think its good you note that - that this is for ...I think its good you note that - that this is for a SEASON - if you home school - its not a permanent thing... I know many people who home schooled until it was time for high school - which I think is wise to get them with people before college... You know God will lead you!!

So many moms/wives of young children sound like the "tank" is nearly dry. I love your solutions and that is key: solutions.<BR/><BR/>You will know and be motivated when Holy Spirit clearly shows you the way with the schooling. The transition of any new work is always challenging. <BR/><BR/>Don't beat yourself up with normal pain that always comes with transition and change.<BR/><BR/>When my census work is over in 2010 I want to start a home business. Keep me informed. You are so bright and innovative I can imagine you have come up with something wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Love you and I see great things throughout this post!!!Kay Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439531579914171736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553706.post-24308674975318681662009-03-25T08:34:00.000-04:002009-03-25T08:34:00.000-04:00Nicki!

Once he's done with this school year I'll have one more year. <BR/><BR/>I know that museums have classes for homeschoolers and am really excited about that. <BR/><BR/>Haven't picked out a curriculum but will look at the site you suggested.<BR/><BR/>You'll be OK.<BR/><BR/>Breathe!<BR/><BR/>Love you,<BR/><BR/>plaLisa N Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09314149954059373542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553706.post-2850736527434987552009-03-25T07:28:00.000-04:002009-03-25T07:28:00.000-04:00I love the randomness ~ you're clearly dealing man...I love the randomness ~ you're clearly dealing many things right now. Tell me you don't have at least a <I>little</I> peace now that you've actually reached a decision about homeschooling ~ I bet that's one big weight off your shoulders, even though you know it's going to challenge and stretch you. (when we toyed with the idea of doing it, that was the curriculum I would have chosen, too. There's just something comforting about having EVERYTHING all in one package!!)tammihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803890115567631062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553706.post-58457612279544561062009-03-25T07:24:00.000-04:002009-03-25T07:24:00.000-04:00"This is the day the Lord has made I WILL rejoice ..."This is the day the Lord has made I WILL rejoice and be glad in it" (emphasis mine)!<BR/><BR/>Making that choice with you today to be happy in Jesus.<BR/><BR/>Love ya...hang in there,<BR/>JoyJoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010498759199040612noreply@blogger.com
