We did not choose to homeschool because we had it all figured out. To be honest, I am 6 years in and still learning. But we did choose it anyway, knowing it was what we wanted for our family.
It started off subtly, a quiet tug. The kind of tug that shows up in late night prayers, car conversations, and the ache of sending kids back to school after summer and holiday breaks. We wanted our children to know truth, not just facts. To grow in wisdom, not just information.
Faith-based homeschooling, for us, is not about having perfect lessons, or Instagram worthy days. It is about inviting God into the ordinary. Reading scripture at the homeschool table, pausing math to talk through big feelings and frustrations. Learning history through the lens of God’s goodness and plans, not human achievement alone.
Some days are quiet and full, others feel scattered and unfinished. But what we are learning is this: faithfulness is not loud. It is often found in the small, unseen moments and unspoken choices.
Homeschool has given us space. Space to slow down, to notice our children, and to trust that God is at work even when the days feel incomplete.
If you are standing on the edge of this decision, unsure and prayerful, please know that you are not behind. You do not need all of the answers. Sometimes obedience looks like taking the next soft step toward what God is calling you to.
