WHOA!!!! For me, the year can’t end soon enough, and at the same time, I want to hold on tightly to every second. For me, my kiddos age two times a year: on their birthdays and again at the school year’s close.

This summer, I’ll say goodbye to the loud, hectic, and heartwarming elementary years, as well as the chaotic and curious middle school years. I’ll leave this school year with a Senior and a Freshman living under my roof.

This explains my absence from the blogging world more than the pandemic.  I’m striving to savor every morsel of the time I have left- all while imparting any forgotten nuggets of wisdom I may stumble upon. This leaves me filled up with wonderful memories and momma’s anxiety/guilt.

Can you relate?

Do you find yourself hustling to fill the school day with the must hit topics only to forget to comfort and connect with your kids? If so, do you compensate for a season by taking things easy and engaging in life-giving read aloud and discussions only to realize you’ve forgotten to teach little things like math?

Over the years, I’ve done it all.  Still- the longer I do this homeschool thing, the more my heart cries for one thing.

When my head hits the pillow at night, the one true regret or worry I have is … did I invite my children to enjoy the Lord? Did I inspire them to draw nearer to the Author of wisdom by doing so myself? Do I have enough time left to make things right and lead them into a true relationship with the Lord?

If you’ve been there and thought that send me a quick email. Let me know how i can pray for you. In the meantime, let me assure you whether it’s in math, science, apologetics, or prayer, where you are weak, God is strong. Keep bringing your kiddos before him in prayer. Don’t grow weary of doing what is good.  Allow Him to redeem the time.

I’m Cheering You On!
