Homeschool encouragement is something that we all need from time to time especially when we are going through a crisis. There are so many homeschool families that are going through a crisis right now while they’re trying to homeschool their children and I want to let you know you aren’t alone!
Homeschooling in many ways can be hard but homeschooling while dealing with the loss of a job, a death in the family, a diagnosis, or chronic illness is definitely more difficult. When a crisis hits your homeschool family it can take you on a wild ride of feeling inadequate, hopeless, overwhelmed and full of doubts.
You will be questioning everything you do and don’t do and wondering if you can even continue homeschooling your children.
If you are in a difficult season right now and are pushing forward in providing your children with an education at home I want to say to you “Bravo, sweet mama!!” “You are doing an amazing job!”
On behalf of your children “Thank you for not giving up even when you may have wanted too.”
Homeschool Encouragement is coming your way
We’ve all been through a crisis while homeschooling our children and know how overwhelming it can be.
So we decided to do a series called Homeschooling in the Midst of Hard Things where we cover hard topics and provide you with tips and encouragement to add to your toolbelt.
This is going to be an amazing series!
It is such a needed and important series for the homeschool community. There are so many families trying to homeschool in the midst of hard things right now and we want to come alongside them and let them know they aren’t alone.
There are 20+ Contributors as well as moms just like you that are coming together to share their hearts and wisdom on how they homeschool in the midst of hard things.
We will be covering topics like how to homeschool in the midst of the death of a loved one, relocation, the diagnosis, financial struggles and when your overwhelmed and full of doubts just to name a few.
Why this series?
Last year was a very difficult year for our family. We had the death of my mother-in-law that happened unexpectedly and later that year we were faced with another hardship that made homeschooling our sons extremely difficult.
One day I was talking to my friend Dachelle about how hard it is to homeschool through a crisis. We both agreed that trying to homeschool our children through a difficult time is not easy and can be very discouraging.
The one thing that has kept me centered, given me hope and the strength to continue to go on has been Jesus Christ.
Honestly, I wouldn’t know where I would be if I didn’t have Jesus in my life. He gives me peace that surpasses all understanding and my rock in times of trouble. Despite all the hardships we may face in this lifetime one thing I know for sure is that “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 (NKJV).
So, moms, we need to stand firm, pray and surrender our situation, our homeschooling journey, our children, our husband and our very lives to the Lord daily. We need to seek God’s guidance so we will know what to do each and every day.
By trusting God with everything we will be able to make it through anything!
Homeschool Encouragement Begins on March 1st.
This series will begin on March 1st and will continue on throughout the month. Dachelle and I will be hosting the blog series “Homeschooling in the Midst of Hard Things” on both our websites. Each weekday in March, we will post an article written by one of our contributors. They will share how they were able to get through the hard things and provide you with encouragement and practical advice and tips.
So, make sure to check in each day for your daily dose of encouragement.
