We all have difficult days and you are just in your first year. Of course if GOD tells you not to homeschool you must follow Him...but it sounds like you are just going through a difficult time. Tell us more and maybe we can help! You CAN do anything in CHRIST who strengthens you! God bless! Sorry, I need to register yet so this will show anonymous....... Hugs and prayers!

Someone once told me "Never doubt in the darkness what God told you in the light." Persevere. You will never ever regret it. I have had months, maybe even years, where it felt like it wasn't working. But you keep going and when they hit the teen years - you see so clearly the fruit. I have learned that a lot of this is about my own sanctification. I had to learn to give up my expectations. What I wanted to accomplish, and let God rule my homeschool. Please read my article on Character Training - I think it might encourage you. http://www.jeanniefulbright.com/character1.html

I have had the same doubts, I feel like I am tearing my hair out for nothing. Then out of nowhere a light bulb goes on for one of the kids and it renews my energy. Chrissy

....has those times of doubts and questioning. I know I certainly did. We started and re-started homeschool several times until we both (after praying over time about this) sat down, looked at each other and asked ourselves the why question. Once we settled that between ourselves and God, there was no looking back. Mind you, we still had really rough days after that,( and we realized there are rough days in relationships no matter what the school situation is ) but once we were solidly set in what God wanted from us, things really were different...and, for the better. (((HUGS))) You're in my prayers
