We all have our opinions as to how to raise a child! But the opinion that matters is God’s! I hear people say all the time, “children don’t come with an instruction manual!” Technically that’s true, but when we give them back to God and do our very best to raise them as he intended guided by the Holy Spirit, we can rest assured we were faithful and they will be set up to succeed!
Probably one of the most difficult things and most rewarding, was to submit to God and homeschool my children. Was it hard, did I want to quit often, did people constantly voice their opinions about my children ending up socially inept? You bet! But I was faithful, to what he guided me to do!
I kept my focus on the end results, I knew I was raising adults and if I could use my many precious hours with them to love them, introduce them to Jesus, teach them to communicate well and love all kinds of people along with incorporating manners, morals and great work ethic, they would be set up for success.
Did I ever mess up? You bet, in many ways, but even in my mess ups God worked!
All this to say…raise your kids however God is leading you, stay strong against the nay- sayers. Have determination and take it one day at a time.
