Trust...

A very common response from the world - when they hear we homeschool is, "I don't know how you do it!"

I remember saying that all the time - before I did it.

In fact, I used to say, "I really hope God never calls me to homeschool - because I could never do it!"  And guess what... that Man called me to homeschool!  I've never felt a calling like this one in all my life.  I wasn't too happy about it.  I pretty much went into homeschooling kicking and screaming.  I was so scared.  Someone just needed to push me over the edge because I couldn't jump in on my own.

At tennis lessons lessons yesterday, a nice lady was asking me lots of questions.  She said, "I don't know how you do it.  I couldn't do it.  I couldn't get everything done."  I had the same fears!

Without skipping a beat - I said, "You just do.  Miraculously, everything gets done."

My work looks a little different than it did a year ago.  Our definition of everything has changed.

Even more of my life is not my own.

I believe that when God calls you to do anything - He will give you the desire, the power and He will equip you!

It really is a miracle - we are homeschooling and loving it!  Of course, you can imagine the challenges that come with the deal, but the many joys far outweigh the challenges.  I chose to follow, and now I have to choose to trust.  I'm amazed daily at the ways He inspires me, powers me, and blesses our family.  It has been a wonderful journey of trust.

"For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him." Philippians 2:13
