Before Summer...Let's Rest & Reflect

Before Summer...Let's Rest & Reflect
You're invited to a 3-day challenge! And it will be the easiest one you've ever accepted. 😁 This homeschool mom has been ready for summer since...well, maybe Groundhog's Day, lol! At the same time, I know it's important to be intentional about summer schedules and activities.

This 3-day challenge (which will run next week, June 7-9) will direct our thoughts to intentional REST as well as meaningful REFLECTION on the past school year. You don't have to do much to participate. But if you're not already in the Homeschooling for the Long Haul support group, where the action will take place, you'll need to join. You can do that here

If you want to be sure to intentionally connect, put it on your calendar and maybe invite a friend who needs encouragement and community in this Mom Journey! 

What does "rest & reflect" bring up for you today?

My Story

 
My 9th child pushed me over the edge. I never planned to be a mama of many, let alone a fragile, special-needs baby who wasn’t expected to live past her first birthday. But there I was, feeling overwhelmed on a daily basis. How in the world could we possibly continue homeschooling when we were drowning in overwhelm? 
 
I remember those days so vividly: I was drained. Oh, so very drained. More than that…I believed I was failing everyone around me, ESPECIALLY my kids. The pressure, anxiety, and depression took me to disturbing places from which I was terrified I would never escape. I was scared nothing would ever be normal again...in my marriage, in our family, or in any of the passions I used to have that I now felt were slowly slipping away. 

It was a dark, difficult time. And I knew something had to change. I yearned for everyone in our family to THRIVE, not simply survive! 
 
And you know what? We did! It wasn't overnight, but as we centered ourselves on our foundation of TRUTH, slowly we found ourselves settling into a new normal. We learned what we needed to know in order to move forward as a family of 11, caring for a little one with profound needs. And we repositioned ourselves to be ready for how God would use our family story to build His kingdom while blessing and encouraging others.

Now I’m on a mission to share TRUTH and HOPE with others, especially other homeschooling mamas who feel completely overwhelmed, wondering how in the world they will make it through the next day...let alone the high school years!
 
YOU CAN DO THIS! It IS possible! My family and I are living proof! 

Don’t focus any longer on the fear and uncertainty.
Center yourself on a foundation of truth...
Educate yourself and learn what your next steps are...
And position yourself to move forward into all God has for you.
