Why I’m Happy I Was Homeschooled
During those critical teen years, it was formative for me to be at home. I learned to define myself in the context of my home, my family, and God’s Word–not the throes of secondary school drama.
As we teach them wisdom along the way, when they sit and when they rise, we prepare our children for whatever God has in store for them.

Clearly Scripture teaches us that we are to teach the Word of God to our children… but God’s Word does not give us a directive as to how children are to learn reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Although we feel good about all that is being taught at our son’s Christian school, we must take care not to count on his school (or even his Sunday school) as the primary source of his training in the faith.
Being a neighbor to my stepchildren does not mean I will never be a disciplinarian, teacher, mentor, or authority figure. It simply means that I lead with love.
Laying our child’s needs at God’s feet reminds us of our limitations, releasing us from feeling like we have to play god in our child’s life.
Understanding who you are before God is a sign of wisdom, not weakness.
