One of THOSE days :(
If your reading this, please pray for my family. Today, Im ready to pack up the homeshool stuff and send the kids to school. If we lived in a better school distrcit, I believe i would do it.
The only reason, because I am stupid. I cannot teach my kids. I espeically cant teach them math. Today, i have no patience. I have no understanding. This has got to be the hardest thing Ive ever had to do.
My kids are awesome. I have been blessed so far more than what I deserve. I feel like Im failing them terribly. I have 6 kids. All of them need me at once. How can I be explaining math to 4 (4 of them are on the same math level) at the same time? How can I be 6 places at once? Kindergarten, grade 3, two kids in grade 4, grade 5 and grade 7. I just cant do it.
Is it me? Is it the fact that I was up very early with a sick 7 year old? Is it satan? Probly. I know that God has called us to homeschool. Im honored and very blessed to answer that call. But im so worthless. Im so stupid. I know, I know... I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me. Lord, I need your strength!! Help them to "get it" and understand their school work. Their so bright, so smart, I dont want to hold them back. I need you today, Lord. Wrap your arms around us and please help us. Thank you for allowing us to homeschool. Show us the way. Plesae, wake my brain up and let me use it once more.
This is the hardest thing Ive ever done. And Ive done A LOT of hard things. But i know theres a blessing as well. Thank you Lord. Please give me the strength to go on.
EDIT OR DISCLAIMER:
I am not a quitter. I love my kids way to much to give up. This is just me unloading in my blog (aka journal lol) I know I can do all things thru Christ who gives me strength. Im just waiting on His strength. Homeschooling our family is His calling for us and I will continue to answer that call. I just need prayer, Gods strength and grace, and encouragment would be really awesome :) I do wonder if anyone ever reads my blog?? |

Hi Steph!
I didn't know you were back to blogging; I just caught up.
SO sorry about the struggles; we have many days like that as well. I truly understand about so many levels at once... it's tough for sure. I also get discouraged. I suppose God is building us up huh?
Well, will say a prayer for you now; hang in there & keep crying out to Him; He hears you.
Lots of love,
Michele |

Please read...
Hi,
I wanted to encourage you to pick up some Marylyn Howshall books, magazines, whatever you can find. I was in the same situation, but have 2 darling kiddos. Until I died to myself and my ideas of what HS was, I was really miserable, and thought no good thoughts of myself either. But like she or maybe it was the guy who wrote "Have a new kid by Friday" said; we need to be police officers. Every time you get stopped by a police officer for breaking a law, they aren't mad, concerned, frustrated. But give you a ticket anyway. This is parenting 101. I too get frustrated, especially at my DS. But everyone in the home does better when I do better. Check out the Marylyn Howshall books, magazines, and go to www.homeschooloasis.com for even more ways that YOU CAN DO THIS if the Lord says you should. Blessings to overflow! |
