Homeschooling takes great faith and dedication. It requires believing in your ability to figure out the best way to teach your children. You have to trust that the learning process will work for them and that they will acquire the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.
You must have confidence that homeschooling is the best decision for your family. This includes trusting yourself and your children to stay disciplined and ensuring that learning happens intentionally, rather than falling into patterns of laziness or distraction.
Faith also involves relying on divine guidance and support. You must believe that the Holy Spirit will guide you in every aspect of homeschooling. Trust that He will cover the areas where you fall short, help your children learn, and provide creative solutions when your child struggles with a particular concept or subject.
Homeschooling also requires strength to face external challenges. You need resilience to stand firm against criticism, a lack of support, and pressure from friends, family, or society. It’s not always easy, but your conviction that this is the right path for your family will give you the courage to persevere.
Ultimately, homeschooling is about faith in the process, faith in your children, and faith in yourself. It’s a journey of growth, learning, and trusting that the effort you put in will shape your children into capable, confident, and well-rounded individuals.
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
