I'm not sure who came up with that quote, but I love it! I haven't even really began using any curriculum yet and already feel as though I'm never going to be "equipped" enough to handle homeschooling. However, something I have learned lately is that feeling inadequate for this job is exactly where I need to be. If I was prideful and over-confident I would definitely be headed for failure. But being in my weakness He makes me strong. When I can't...He can. When I call upon His name, He will equip me and it will not be I but Him through me. Praise the Lord for His abounding love!
II Corinthians 12:9
"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
Philippians 4:19
"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

Remember Moses, I always feel like I would have been like Moses, pleading with God to let someone else speak because my words aren't eloquent enough. That story is a great example of accepting God's command without question...God became angry with Moses and said that his brother would speak for him.
I always think it's ironic when someone says that they COULD never homeschool when really many of us homeschool moms struggle with the same thoughts. It's not all about ability...it's about desire, determination, and commitment.
