...who is starting out with homeschooling just a little bit scared?  (Or so scared, I can't even think straight?!)

Now that we have made our decision to homeschool, I am re-organizing around the house, we have all of our supplies ready to start "school" on Monday morning... and I feel myself panicking, wondering if I am doing the right thing?  I am just feeling so inadequate, I feel unqualified to educate my son, worried that I won't be able to teach him all that is necessary for him to learn... yes, I know this is only kindergarten, but I'm looking at the distant future, and that is just freaking me out.

I am confident this is what God wants me to do.  Today, during a moment of panic, I picked up a devotional I've been meaning to start, and flipped to a random page, looking for some peace of mind.

Here's what that page said:

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.  Proverbs 16:3

...When you ask for God's help, are you expecting a bare-minimum, meager-but-satisfactory answer or no answer at all?  God wants to help you succeed in all of your endeavors.  Open your arms and receive His blessing.  He is always glad to help!"

(GodSpeaks Devotional, excerpts from pages 118-119)

Please, someone tell me it isn't just me... does everyone go through this at some point in time?
