So, in my 20s I was against homeschooling my future children for various reasons. But as I worked in various schools and saw the current prices of private schools, I began being open to the thought of homeschooling—especially given the groups here in town that have many people to be accountable to.
Even with a degree in education, I have felt inept in my ability to be Cherish's sole teacher. So much so, that yesterday I talked to a couple of people about abandoning the idea of homeschooling for at least several years.
But then, God.
The next day—today—Cherish picked up a Kindergarten reader and began reading the book! The WHOLE book! I was in absolute shock! (I did the "happy dance" many times.)
She doesn’t start Kindergarten for another year and now she can READ (that sounds so weird to say), she can count up to 100, add, and subtract. Thus, I am reconsidering homeschooling all over again. God has opened her little mind, and I don’t want to waste her thirst to learn.
I get nervous thinking of being my husband’s helper + caring for little one(s) + homeschooling my daughter + being a homemaker (cleaning, cooking, etc.) + being a Sunday School teacher...but I know The LORD will guide us/me.
