I read this last week in one of our devotionals and it seemed a good reminder.

"Dare to be a Daniel,
Dare to stand alone!
Dare to have a purpose firm,
Dare to make it known."

I was talking with a friend this weekend and said something about I was interested in being more involved in something going on in her life, if she was willing to share.  And I added those dreadful words,
"After all, I'm home all day, not doing anything," without even thinking.

The look she gave me was priceless.  She recognized what I do all day.

She also was appalled to think that other Christians would actually feel that I should be out working instead of homeschooling my children.  That was very encouraging.

So, if you're single and homeschooling, be prepared to be a Daniel.  While you're not standing alone, there are days when it feels like it.

Blessings,
