I’ve had some struggles over the past 11 years. Homeschooling is not always the easy path to tread. I don’t know how many times in those moments that I’ve had a conversation with a well meaning friend, and spilled my guts only to walk away not feeling built up, but completely ripped apart from the inside out.
Thankfully, the Lord led me to some moms that did encourage me. They didn’t condemn me and assume that their way of doing things was best. They didn’t tell me how ‘they would do things’. They didn’t boast in their accomplishments or pride but simply let me know that they had been where I’d been too. Realistically, all homeschool moms have struggled from time to time.

I've had some great homeschool moms in our homeschool group who have encouraged me in that way. It is wonderful to know other moms have been where you are right now. :)

ReplyDeleteI second guess myself all the time. I am blessed with a wonderful group of mothers in my homeschool group who encourage me all the time. It looks like you are always doing an incredible job.
