When I first started thinking about schools for Maddy, I thought homeschool was out of the question for me. I thought since I was still working (I want to be a stay-at-home mom SO bad) I had no choice but to send her to school somewhere. I did a lot of research on our local schools and I could not find peace in any scenario. I often walked away from my thoughts discouraged because I had no idea what to do for her school. I ended up being faced with the question, "Why can't you homeschool?" I started to answer, but realized I really had no answer. It was in that moment that I knew I was being led to homeschool and that I could homeschool. Once I said it out loud that she would be home-schooled I had instant peace.
Most people who choose to homeschool will often say they were called to do so. I don't believe homeschool is for everybody. I think some moms will feel led to send their child to public school, while another mom will feel led to send their child to a private school. It's going to be different for everyone. God knows what is best for you and your child and if you just listen to Him, the decision about school will be made clear.
Jeremiah 29:11
