I know this is something that all moms struggle with, but for homeschooling moms it is a whole new struggle. I was just recently asked by a friend to help her begin on her homeschool journey. She is planning on this journey for the next school year. Her request for help, got me to thinking, Am I Good Enough at homeschooling to help her?
As I put my request for guidance to give her up to the Lord, He blessed me with all the right words of encouragement to bless her with and give her the confidence that she can answer his calling. I got to thinking after she left, about the fear I had about being good enough. I can't tell you how many times I told her that you just need to relax and let God have control. Boy, did I need to check into those words for myself. I struggle with being a list maker and completing the list. I struggle with patience when things are not going to the schedule I set in my head. As I told her to relax and just let things happen, because somehow it all gets done, do I need to take those words to heart.
I explained that no matter what you hear from other parents either homeschooling or non-homeschooling parents, know you are doing your best for you family. Do we all need to check into this reality a little from time to time, we need to accept that we are doing the best we can for our children and no one will do our job better. We were called to homeschool our children and by giving our homeschool to God we will definitely be doing everything right by our kids.
I know I needed to take to heart the words of encouragement that the Lord put on my heart for this new homeschooling mom and reapply them to my life each day. I know that I am doing enough for my kids by teaching them to live by God's word and be good examples of Christian's for others to look up to.
Please help me to remind all moms, especially homeschooling moms, that you are doing enough and you can't fail your kids, if you let God have control!!!
Have a Blessed Day!!
