To Homeschool or Not to Homeschool

It was not long after my “homecoming” that God up upon my heart to homeschool. I was really nervous. I am not a very consistent person. I came up with every excuse not to do it. But you know, when it is God’s will to do something He does not let up easily.

I tried not listening. I started playing a computer game, instead of doing house work, so I would not hear His voice. Finally, I broke down and talked to DH about it. He made his feelings perfectly clear. There was no way he would agree to me homeschooling our children. He has a very narrow view of homeschooling.

I prayed about it. I did not know what to do, the two people I am supposed to listen to were in direct conflict. I know the Bible says that I am to obey my husband, unless it is in direct conflict with God’s will. I also know that for homeschooling to work, you have to have both parents in total agreement and support.

What did I choose? I chose to please my husband and ignore God.
