We're into our second day of homeschooling and all I can say is, "homeschooling is hard!"  I would love to shadow the families who seem to get it all done, have a clean house  by dinnertime, a nutritious meal, a good attitude, and who still feel like serving others outside the home at the end of the week!  I've been doing this homeschooling thing since my youngest was in kindergarten and he's now in 7th grade and it's only getting harder.  I suppose that's because I now have 4 in the house and one is a toddler.  Maybe if I were of the persuasion that if it's too hard and one of the kids doesn't like it we don't do it then it would be easier, I dont' know.  Maybe my standards are too high.  Although there are days that I wonder if it's worth it, I know in my spirit that it is.  I don't know of anything God calls us to do that is easy and in my book homeschooling isn't easy, but I know that my children are the ones God has called me to disciple.  At the end of the day I'm tired, but I do know that I've fulfilled my calling for the day and that God's grace will get me through the next one.  If anything is worth doing then it's worth doing well and educating my children is worth it and worth doing well!  If anyone who reads this finds homeschooling easy please feel free to give me some tips.
