Have you been a discouraged homeschooler lately?

I know that we all go through that from time to time. I found a great post about this very topic on the Alpha Omega Publications Blog. The post is encouraging and reminds us that we are not home educating our children alone.

God will provide for you in your time of need.

When I talk to other people about homeschooling, I get mixed responses. I love talking to people who completely support me and my husband for being able to do it. Then I get discouraged when I talk to people who are naysayers. When I am discouraged, it helps to talk with seasoned homeschoolers. The homeschoolers I know are willing to share their ideas and tips when you mention that you have questions or need help. Remember that it is imperative to have support and seek out help when you need it. You are not in this alone!

God will provide for you in your time of need.

Last week I met a seasoned homeschooler at C4’s dance class. She homeschools five children, so she knows what she is talking about. She had many great tips to share with me this week based on the conversation we had last week. I find her presence comforting, too. Her personality is very different than mine, and I appreciate that. I feel as though God place her in my life so I can learn from her. Just seeing her interact with her kids over the next few weeks will teach me more than I could imagine. I feel blessed to know her! I feel encouraged now that I am on the right track.

God provided for me in my time of need.

    Thanks for the reminder. I’m discouraged – but because of me and my poor time management. I’m so behind on everything. But, I need to trust that He will provide for me. Thanks!

    Thanks. I need to get on my knees instead of sitting here about to cry.

    Kristy, I know that it can be hard sometimes! God will provide for you. He has a plan for you, your children, and your homeschool. May He fill you will peace as you pour out your heart to Him!

    Just trust because it all does work out – we don’t have to be perfect. Sometimes you’re on top of things, sometimes it’s not possible, just keep moving forward, the results will come.
