I have often heard this statement after I have revealed that I homeschool: "I could never do that." This is always perplexing to me. In some ways, I feel like I must be doing something incredible, but then I am quickly brought back to the reason and how I homeschool.
Homeschooling is a way of life, and as a Christian, depending on God is the only way that I can "do that." He is my source, and He is my daily direction. How? Well, it is through prayer - a constant dialogue (usually inward). For many people, prayer is such a struggle because they think it has to be a set aside part of the day, and come to think of it, that is probably why others think homeschooling is so hard. But, prayer and homeschooling are hand-in-hand, a way of life.
Have you forgotten to include God in your homeschooling journey? Have you tried to make homeschooling and/or prayer just a part of your life?
Psalm 146 states: "...Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save...Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God,...the Lord, who remains faithful forever. He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry...the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down,..The Lord reigns forever..."
Start today to make homeschooling and prayer a way of life, not just a part of your life! You can "do that."

Amen! It is so true! God truly does show Himself strong through our weaknesses and there is nothing like homeschooling to keep you on your knees, LOL. We have h'schooled for 12 years now and have seen the fruit of our labors. I have never done anything so rewarding and we have wonderful, godly, servant-hearted, missions-minded kids. To God be the glory!
