Hello! Welcome to The Homeschooling Mom. My name is Christy – I am a Christian, a wife, mama to 3 beautiful boys… and a homeschooler. I’m a nurse by trade, have been married since 2011, and have been homeschooling since my oldest was 3. When I started homeschooling, I knew nobody and nothing about homeschooling. I always thought homeschoolers were weird and had no desire to go against the grain in this area. I couldn’t wait to send my little ones off to school so I could finally get a break! So when God pricked my heart about homeschooling, I was absolutely dumbfounded. I had no one to turn to. I didn’t know who, how, or what to even ask, let alone know where to start. Now here we are, about 7 years later, and I’m hoping to be able to be there for others in a way I wish others would have been able to be there for me.
4 Older women are to teach the young women to love their husbands and children. 5 They are to teach them to think before they act, to be pure, to be workers at home, to be kind, and to obey their own husbands. In this way, the Word of God is honored.
-Titus 2:4-5, NLT
Everything I do, I try to glorify the Lord, Jesus Christ. I can’t say that I do it well… I know that I fall very short of the glory of God. But I also know it’s all part of the process. Changing your life isn’t an instant process, but it sure is a beautiful journey. I strive to be real about my struggles, because I have learned that we are all broken… and that nobody gets healed in a world full of fake.
I hope that through this website I can create a community where we can all learn and grow in Christ and grow as wives, mothers, and homeschoolers together. I hope to create a safe place for people to share their fears, their pain, and their ideas… a place where iron can sharpen iron and the older can pour into the younger and we can all grow as one unified body in Christ.
My hope in starting this blog, regardless of whatever the content becomes, is to be completely transparent and to give God all the glory. In a world of chaos, we need something that’s real… and that’s exactly what I hope to give you on this site… authenticity in a world of chaos. I’m glad you’ve stopped by for a visit today and I hope you come back often and authentically… baring your soul to the world and offering healing where nobody but you can. You were equipped for this time period, for these people, for this generation… for this place. I hope with Christ’s help I can do the same for all of you.
For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
-Esther 4:14, NKJV
I hope to see you again soon!
Lovingly His,
Christy
