Nine months ago I started homeschooling my oldest son. Today I remember those days when I was hesitant about starting this journey. It was until God spoke to me clearly about homeschooling my kids that tremendous joy and excitement filled my heart. God truly changed my perspective about homeschooling. It has been a commitment for our whole family. For instance, my husband is in charge of doing Bible studies with our kids every morning, while I am more focused on the academics (Classical education). I can tell you that these past months have been wonderful. We’ve bonded as a family. We’ve grown together in our faith, and little by little the Lord has let us see the fruit of our labor. To listen to our son praying, quoting the Bible and eager to read the Word of God have brought us so much joy.
For my husband and I, the most important thing about homeschooling our children is to raise them in a way they can learn who Jesus is and who they are in Him. Our mission is to fulfill what Psalm 1: 3 says:
“They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.”
Today, I can only say: I love homeschooling!
