My oldest is 4 and will be school aged next August. I’ve been considering homeschool since he was 1.5. I’ve often told myself “I’m not the homeschool type,” however, the Lord has been growing that desire over the years. Let him lead you sis. I think there is so much power in the stewardship of our kids in this way. Even if it’s not forever, if you notice the seed let it grow.
Same! My oldest is 4 and will be turning 5 in October, so I’m already thinking about the upcoming school year and praying about what we will do. I definitely did not envision myself as the homeschooling type either, so this is very new for me, but at the same time, I am open to whatever God wants for us and our family. Thank you for your encouragement and support!
I can so relate to this! As someone who always was very ambitious and career driven, to now be a mom living in a rural area with dreams of someday owning a ranch of our own, I feel like a whole new person. I am still working, but I find that I lack the ambition I used to have - I enjoy my work, but I'm no longer to sacrifice as much to get ahead.
Isn't it crazy? I feel like my ambition has also taken a dive. I just don't have the energy and motivation to push like I used to, probably because so much of it is spent being poured out. I think for a while I grieved this and was trying to hold tightly to the past, but now I have come to accept it and am doing my best to find the joy and see the beauty in what God is doing now in this season.
If you're ever interested in talking homeschooling, feel free to reach out! I've been homeschooling for three years now, and it has completely transformed our lives. The four-hour school day book is fantastic! You should also check out the book "Call of the Wild and Free"; it was the fire under me and what encouraged me to pull my son from the system.
Yes, I will definitely be reaching out! Call of the Wild and Free is on my list. A few of the homeschooling moms I follow on YouTube also recommended that book. I'm a little nervous, but I think preschool would be the best time to try it out.
