Today I went with a friend to Classical Conversations session. As I sat there, I felt very inadequate. Not because of the school itself, but all the Mothers there seemed to have it all together when it comes to homeschooling. It kind of frustrated me! Can I really do this?
I have been thinking lately "why do I want to home-school ?" Besides the fact that I want to protect my kids from public school and its teachings, why? I've always wanted to be a teacher, that was my childhood dream, but I didn't think that was a good enough reason to home-school. So today after my nap, while still feeling inadequate, I told God how HE knows everything, English, grammar, geography, Latin, art, etc. Then it clicked! The same GOD that gives those Mothers confidence to teach their kids, is the same GOD that will help me to teach mine! I know right, big discovery! But really! IT was! So here's why I want to home-school: I want to grow spiritually, and I want my kids to see what's like to live a life where you re totally dependent on God.
"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not" (Jeremiah 33:3).
