Homeschooling is beautiful, fulfilling, spiritual, sometimes comical, fun and loving HARD WORK. I wouldn't give it up for anything in the world. However, (there it is) some days I have feelings of doubt; am I doing the right thing, are we doing enough, is there something better out there for them, what more can I do? With all of these doubts it only takes one sweet VICTORY to remind me that all is well.
Today in church Spencer got up and bore his testimony, he was so confident in his words and wise for his age.
"As you can tell by mom and dad's testimonies our family likes to read good books. I just got finished reading Mr. Lincoln's Drummer a story about the Civil War. It reminded me that there are still wars going on in the world today, the biggest one is the war with Satan. I know if we do what is right that we can win that war and be happy."
These words may have seemed like a small step to others but for me it was; ONE GIANT LEAP FOR HOMESCHOOL KIND. That one victory, with tears streaming down my eyes reminded me that all is well.
You are right--all we need are a few victories and we remember why we are doing this. Awesome testimony.
