Dear Worried Homeschool Mom,

I just have one thing I want to tell you. It’s the message of hope I share whenever I get a chance.

You CAN Do This!

You can do this even when your dirty dishes and laundry stack up.

You can do this even when your kids go crazy.

You can do this even though tempers flare.

You can do this even though your home is in crisis.

You CAN. I know it seems hard to believe on your down days — but Mom, you are not ever alone. God is always with you, and you can take comfort in knowing that other moms across the world are struggling right along with you. None of us is doing it all perfect either! We struggle, and we probably share some of the same struggles you have.

Do you find yourself worrying as a homeschool mom? Can I encourage you to keep pressing on with this homeschool thing. Keep doing your best to carry out God’s calling on your life. Here are 4 steps I take when I need to let go off my worry. Let me encourage you that you can do this!

It might look like everyone has it all together, but that’s because we are all hiding the struggles and showing the world the happy parts. Every mom has or will have private struggles you know nothing about. And in the meantime, we (just like you) keep pressing on with this homeschool thing. Doing our best to carry out God’s calling on our lives. He’s got this. I’m so glad!

Isaiah 40:11 says
He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.
Now here’s the hard part. God calls worry sin. We aren’t supposed to worry. I know! Isn’t that hard? I’m right there with you because I worry way too much and have to bring myself back to the feet of my Savior. Worry is about not trusting HIM. And trusting is where we need to be. Because no matter what happens, No Matter What Happens, God is in control. He’s got this.
Are you wondering how to make it through the day without worrying?
Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
I’ve found a few things that help — and I’d love to know what you do to renew your focus on Jesus when you are tempted to worry.
  1. I sing. That’s right. I belt out those old hymns and new choruses at the top of my lungs. It helps. Go ahead — try it.
  2. I pray. That’s the Sunday School answer right? But it’s still the truth. Prayer helps.
  3. I read my Bible. In fact, that’s why I just started Bible in 90 Days again on Monday. I need to immerse myself in God’s word and this particular reading plan is the one that most often helps me make it happen.
  4. I get outside. I love to be outside surrounded by God’s creation. I love to hear the birds singing, the animals rustling around, and the chatter of little boys on a hike in the woods. It’s refreshing. And the sunshine’s good for me too!

You CAN Do this Mom.

This horrifies and frightens me. I am so grateful to know that God will prevail. In the end, He wins. Everything seems so dark here in the US and it’s because of the spiritual forces of evil — but I know God will prevail. His love never fails. I’m putting my hope in this truth. #loveneverfails #godwins #godisgreater #momlife #momfierce

First #sheisloved campaign with @mercyhouseglobal and sheispriceless.org - check that out it’s important. Second - that cute bracelet came from @mercyhouseglobal about a month ago and *didn’t fit*. Today it’s loose enough to twist. I haven’t lost a lot of pounds according to the scale — I kinda stalled out three or four weeks ago at 17 pounds lost — but apparently I’m losing fat. That’s a victory. Third, my hands look like my moms and will some day look like my grandmas. I consider that a blessing.  Finally, it’s been a beautiful day😍 but I’m kinda sad it took me this long to find a red marker and share the love.
