  1. I think your story is powerful. Especially since you never heard “home” and “school” together in one word! It is a big testimony of how God used you in forming this in your family, but also, in building a network of support for a growing homeschooling community!! I really couldn't do this without your support and the co-op!! And I definitely agree, life has definitely become more enjoyable and more peaceful!! I could definitely see myself throwing spaghetti (or anything!) in exhaustion as well! 🙂

  3. I have heard you tell this before, but I always love to hear it. You can't get more definite encouragement than a direct word from God!

  5. Thanks for sharing your beautiful story. While I believe it is possible to stay off the conveyor belt while simultaneously having kids in public school (kinda blogged about it today) the path you have chosen is a God ordained path. Your family has been and will be blessed by your obedience.

  7. Thanks, ladies! Maria, I am glad you have support! Selena, you pretty much saw my lifestyle change. Hope it helped you! Megan, I totally agree, you can jump off the conveyor belt. I think I was too hard headed at the time and too influenced by the world for me own good. God had to speak to me with an audible voice! I don't think I was listening any other way. God was also preparing me for adoption. It all makes sense.
    I admire you, you are homeschooler at heart. You take the time to make connections with your children, daily. Cannot wait to read your post.

  9. Thanks for sharing your story! I wish that I could say that my calling to homeschool had come as loudly, clearly, or peacefully as yours did. I was confused, terrified, at my wit's end, exhausted, and in denial. Public school was not working for my 1st grader, it was a major fail! I thought homeschooling was an awful thing to do to a child. I found a great curriculum (we use Time4Learning) and took the plunge. Within days my home was more peaceful (though it is still chaotic!), I saw my daughter smile, and begin to learn voraciously. I also realized that if I had listened harder, I might have heard that calling to homeschool, but I was in such denial until I ran out of options and homeschooling became the only choice I could see. More than six years later we are still going strong with homeschool, and I can't see any other way to educate my child. Thank you so much for reminding me of the reasons I homeschool.
