This year I have to work full-time. Finding a job in our area, with the job market as it is, is hard enough. But I insisted on only taking what I felt God was leading me to, and said that God knew I strongly believed in homeschooling my kids. PHEW! Did that complicate the job hunt! I had some offers I had to turn down. God brought one and I started this week....working for BankFirst! PTL! I am going to be working 2:30-11pm after the training is finished. PTL, I can homeschool the kids in the morning and then go to work! GOD IS SO GOOD!
After 5 yrs, my parents still don't get it. But that is ok. I see what my children are like, versus those put out by the local school. I see the curiousity and thirst for learning my kids have! I hear the thrill in their voices at new discoveries. That is all the understanding and thanks I need. I don't care if the rest of the family, or community ever get it....my kids do! :-) Blessings on your year!
That sounds harsh, I know. I truly hope that your situation with your folks settles out; it was uncomfortable for me with my family until I was firm (but gentle), so I sympathize. You prayed for God about homeschooling, and he provided an answer. You prayed for God to provide a solution to your employment woes, and He has. Continue to seek His wisdom, and don't doubt that He has lead you in the right path.
