Homeschooling can be hard. There are many veterans out there who will tell you how “it’s a way of life” and it fits smoothly into their day. That’s wonderful for them, but it didn’t work like that for me.

I was active in my church and after awhile I had to give that up because I realized teaching my children had to be my first priority. I also put my desire to write aside. No easy task for me! I discovered that when there are children under the age of five in the home, each year is a different challenge. As the years went on, I also discovered that the high school years pose their own challenges, which also change years.
Now that I’ve come to understand the changes and challenges homeschooling poses, I’ve finally settled into a routine; I’ve begun writing again, and serving in our church. But, make no mistake: homeschooilng your children is equivalent to having a full-time job. Some days your laundry won’t get done. Some days your supper will be late. Some days you’ll wake up and wonder what you’ve gotten yourself into!

What’s my secret? Having a good support group of like-minded women has been a God-send for me. They know what I’m talking about! Many have chosen Weaver for the same reasons I have. They understand the challenges and changes I’m going through each year. Some have been there already, others are watching to learn from my experiences.

Year after year I watch as families in my support group graduate their children with Weaver. Those graduates are thriving not just in the work-world, but Spiritually as well. That’s what I’m after! Seeking to glorify the Lord IS the real world. It’s what God created us for!
