Sharing our heartfelt decision to homeschool, guided by faith and family values.

So this school year I finally took the leap. I withdrew my kids from school and thus began our journey into homeschoolinh.

This was not a decision I made lightly. It’s actually something I have considered for years. But lately it seemed to be weighing heavier on my mind and heart. So I prayed about. I prayed and prayed and then prayed some more. I prayed until I felt my so strongly about what to do that I couldn’t take it anymore. The decision was made.

I did so much research about what my next moves should be. I found so many conflicting answers online. I started to feel nervous. Even though I knew to the depths of my soul this was the path God had chosen for my family, I still felt lost. I had no idea what I was doing and honestly I felt like a fraud.

So here we are, into our second week oh homeschooling and I don’t regret a thing.

The days aren’t always perfectly structured, and I’ve made plenty of adjustments already, but something beautiful is happening in our home. I’m watching my kids light up when they learn something new. I’m seeing us grow closer as a family. We laugh more. We talk more. We pray more. And most of all, I feel present—not just as their mom, but as their guide, encourager, and teacher.

Homeschooling is not easy, but neither is sending your heart out the door each morning and wondering what they’re being exposed to. For me, this wasn’t about fear—it was about freedom. Freedom to teach our values. Freedom to move at our own pace. Freedom to make faith a central part of our day.

I don’t know everything, and I’m sure I’ll keep learning as we go. But I’ve stopped letting that hold me back. I’m not trying to create a perfect classroom—I’m building a nurturing, intentional home where learning is a lifestyle, not just a subject.

If you’ve been feeling that nudge on your heart like I did, I just want to say—you’re not alone. God equips those He calls, and He’s walking this road with you too.
