Opposition. It's something we face from the time we begin making decisions for our children and intensifies when we decide to homeschool.
Opposition can come at the most inopportune times and sometimes makes us feel as though we have been broadsided. Often it can make us feel inadequate.
This is why it's imperative that we keep some very important principles at the forefront of our minds.
Expecting opposition and positioning yourself to respond well will help grow your confidence and show your kids that homeschooling is a great choice for your family!

If you've been a mom for more than 10 minutes, you've felt it-the blaring realization that you really don't know what you're doing. It's one thing to watch other people parent, but when the responsibility of raising and caring for children falls directly on your shoulders, the weight can feel almost unbearable at times.
Welcome to Unhurried Grace, a series of short devotionals created to get right to the point of our struggles and apply God's Word to them.
I hope that you are encouraged today!

Welcome to a new episode of Mentoring Moments! In this podcast series, I share my 30 years of experience as a mom and 25+ experience homeschooling!
When people found out I had eight kids they would often say “You must have a lot of patience” as if having children automatically makes you a patient person. We all know how untrue that is! However, I have learned much over the last 3 decades of parenting, and today I'm sharing from that experience to help equip you to be able to enjoy these years with your kids!

There has been so much going on in the world around us over the last 10 months and especially the last 2 months. It's been overwhelming for many of us and I have spent hours and hours seeking the Lord and asking him to give me a sustainable posture, in other words, a solid place where I can plant my feet and stay at peace. In that process, God has revealed places in my heart where I've built my house on rock...and places where I have built it on sand. My guess is that you can relate to this as well.
In the meantime, we are still trying to be the wives and moms that God has called us to be. This creates an inner conflict because we have constantly been fed the lie that we have to be perfect moms and have everything together (or at least mostly together) or we will mess up our kids. Our desire to be good moms, more importantly, godly moms, is from the Lord, but the enemy twists that and uses it against us as he tries to make us believe that we have to have everything figured out. I think I can safely say that at this point we have far more questions than answers.
But we serve a faithful loving God who sets our feet on solid ground! Listen in as you heed the call to trust and not fear!
