Dear Sashula,

Let me encourage you in your consideration of homeschool.

You are your daughter’s first and best teacher.

Parents are made by God to teach their children, and children are made by God to learn from their parents.

If it’s right for you, don’t hesitate to homeschool.

We did with our two sons and are grateful to God that we did.

I know homeschooling is the right thing to do. I knew when my daughter climbed in my lap and asked me to homeschool her that I was hearing the response to my prayers.

Right now I’m struggling because we’ve just moved and I don’t know many people — although I am active in a nearby Catholic homeschool group and a local evangelical group. There are many things I struggle with every day, including my shameful lack of patience and feeling like there’s no time for me to do anything I want to do.

In short, I’m struggling with my own selfishness. I pray every day, many times a day, for the graces to be a good mother, wife, and home schooler. Some days I wish I could just take the hair shirt and sleeping on broken glass route to sanctity because it would surely be more comfortable.

This has to be God’s way of grinding down my selfishness.

All that said, I am so grateful to have my children at home and have so much time to spend with them. I am so rich.
