I passed a school this morning, that was filling up with cars, as parents dropped their children off for the day. As I waited to be able to pass, I didn't dream of dropping my child off. I didn't wish I were heading home to three little ones instead of four children.
I realized that God had answered my prayer and given me the answers. This is it. Homeschooling is where we are suppose to be right now.
Days are extremely long. Very little quiet. Most days are without a break {very much like a lot of mothers}. I know that this is where the Lord has called our family to be right now. It doesn't make the days easier, but it does give me an inner peace....knowing that this is where our family is suppose to be this year. This time in our life. This season.
The season that we're in is different from a lot of people around us. Our daily life might look a tad bit different. We won't always be right here. Things do change. God calls us and leads us in new paths. We wait to see where he leads.
I am grateful for the realization that even though its hard, this is it.

I am so happy for you. I can feel your peace when I read this post, and I admit I am envious. I think I knew I was supposed to follow a certain path at the start of this school year, but didn't have enough confidence, perhaps courage, to follow it.
I think homeschooling can do amazing things for a family, and kudos to you for having the courage to follow where He leads you.
And from a momma that DOES drop her kiddo off to school 5 days a week, I can say that the quiet isn't always all it's cracked up to be, and certainly not worth the pain a kid can feel at times while at school.
The days are tough, but knowing I'm where I've been called to be means I can be content.
