In our Homeschool this week.....
In our Homeschool this week in honor of earth day we are drowning in allergies... literally my kids are knee deep in tissues and it sounds like a dog is dying every time they cough. So needless to say school has been slow this week but none the less attempting to be productive. We review sight words, letter sounds and talking about earth day that is coming up this weekend. I will share our earth day project with you tomorrow.
Thoughts I have this week...
The devil has been battling me this week, trying to put it in my head that I cannot do this. I hope I am not the only homeschool mom who goes through this. I have tremendous peace that God has put us in this place for a reason and that we are in His will, I have no doubt in that. Sitting down and starting to make plans for her first "official" school year in Kindergarten, I was left feeling full of doubt and over whelmed. Just need some encouragement this week.
I am praying for....
I am praying for God's guidance in our homeschool this week and every week as we start thinking and preparing for the end of the school and begin working towards a new school year. Praying for Wisdom that I need as a homeschool mom and praying for my husband as a homeschool dad that we will do Gods will in our home and school.
You are not the only one that has doubts and feel overwhelmed. I have been there. If you know this is what you should be doing, rest in Him. This is something I have been telling myself for the past few weeks. Thanks for sharing your heart. I came over from the Homeschool Chick.
ReplyDeleteWe're finishing up our 8th year and there are still times where I doubt what we are doing...and then something happens and I'm like, "Yeah, that's why we're homeschooling!" Hang in there! It's OK to feel doubt and be overwhelmed, but if you know this is the right choice, everything works out as it should!
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely not the only homeschooling mom with those feelings. I, like you, am planning our first official year for fall 2012. I have never doubted myself so much. I just know that I'm following God's calling and I'll do my absolute best. Prayers of peace! I strongly feel that homeschooling will be a blessing for our children!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ladies....Words so encouraging and ones I needed so much!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your trust in God and your desire to have wisdom as you teach your children. What a blessing it is to care for such precious souls. I love homeschooling as I know you do, and I have also experienced doubts at times. It is quite a task raising little ones... and teaching them too!! God will take care of you, and just remember that there is so much learning in the little things--even in those things that aren't really "school." As it has been said of what a mother is to do when a little one "interrupts" the day's lessons with an older child, the little one BECOMES the lesson!
