Suddenly Homeschooling

I was not going to be one of “those” moms . . . those homeschooling moms. Me?! No, I had “real” ministry work to do. Homeschooling was not in my five-year plan. I had considered it when my oldest was a baby. By the time she was three, insecurities had submerged the thought into a once-upon-a-time fantasy. Six years went by, and I had developed a passion to encourage others with God’s Word and gained significant positions in ministry.

In May 2012, I was praying and fasting for additional ministry opportunities. I heard God say, “Go and make disciples!” I was overjoyed. Then my bubble burst when I heard, “But first, start in your home.” Ugh. I knew instantly this meant homeschooling. Not what I had planned. Those suppressed insecurities arose. “God, I am not a morning person. I lack self-discipline. I am not pulled together all the time. How can I homeschool?”
