So You Think You Want to Homeschool

Homeschooling is a Good Idea

Has the thought been popping up every now and then?  Do you have a little yearn to take control of your children’s education? I remember one of the things that the Lord spoke to me about before I started homeschooling. I was outside in my yard, looking at myroses while keeping an eye on my sons playing in their sandbox. I began to really look at a rose. I thought about how wonderful that rose was, and how much love God showed me by creating it. I became so inspired I began thinking about how I would teach my boys about this. Then I remembered my fifth grade year, when I was ruthlessly informed that God had nothing to do with the origin of people. The remembrance of this was so painful. I couldn’t bear the thought of government science teachers undermining the truth of God’s word. I didn’t know how yet, but I made a silent vow to myself. Somehow, some way, I would not let that happen to my boys.

Eventually I ran on to an obscure book in my church library about a lady who schooled her boys in hotels and airports while her family travelled the world. Something clicked, and that began my quest to find out more about homeschooling.

Is God nudging your spirit about your childrens’ education?  Don’t worry about it. Start praying. You don’t have to understand all about how it works right now. Just decide to find out about it.  He will do the rest.
