I just completed my 15th year of homeschooling. This year I only had 1 student, an eleventh grader who took 2 classes from a career and technical school. Questions I keep asking myself are: Did I do enough homeschool with her? Was it too much for us both? Will the new reviewer of her portfolio understand?
Throughout the school year, I took classes, too. Mine were online from a Bible college. I do not know which wore me out the most–my classes or my daughter’s.
Changing is always stressful. Changing denominations is nearly as difficult. But when the Lord speaks the same message to you and your spouse, it is best to obey. The spiritual rest I feel because of this big change cannot be measured. Whatever God is doing, I’m in.
Another big change walked out of the front door this morning. She’s my eldest daughter, and today is moving day. Her apartment is nice and not far away. She is excited and capable. I am happy for her. Still, this mama’s heart is sad.
Change is never easy. I guess that is why I keep thinking of the following verses from Scripture: “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” (Hebrews 13:8 KJV) And “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” (James 1:17 KJV)
Blessings to all and thank you for reading.
