Today I want to talk about the hard stuff. The stuff that rarely gets talked about but the struggle is SO real. The hard side of homeschooling and how to handle it.
I want to talk about perspective and focus in our homeschool and how that plays a part in our every day, day to day life! I want to talk about the struggles we face...and what is waiting for us on the other side.
I want to ask you...where is your focus?
When you get down and defeated, what are you choosing to focus on?
We have a choice!!! No homeschooling isn't always sunshine and roses, but there is SO MUCH JOY TO BE HAD IN THE JOURNEY.
My prayer is that this video encourages you. If you are finding yourself at the end of your rope...know that your Good Shepherd is there, waiting to pick you back up and walk beside you in this journey you are on. Homeschooling is one of the hardest things I have ever done, but the rewards are ENDLESS! This homeschool journey has had plenty of ups and downs but we always make it across to the other side! You are not alone, even though it may feel that way sometimes.
I see you. I hear you. I feel you.
May you be blessed.
I pray you feel encouragement here in this space.
WITH LOVE- ALWAYS,
JAMIE

Hello, mama! ☕️

I'm a wife and a mother of 5 boys. Currently homeschooling 4 of them. You don't even know how many times I've cried thinking what did I get myself into, I'm not capable of this, I'm messing my children up!! Thank you for being real and true. These are real struggle for sure.

I’m a mother of 6 homeschooling 5 and a toddler and I am struggling even contemplating quitting but I will not give in because I heard your video. I cannot give up bc same I feel the lord called me to do this and I want to see it through til the end. Motherhood is hard enough and being there “ teacher” makes it harder but worth all the struggles. I’m only 2 year in but feels like I’ve been doing this for 10.

This made me cry today. We have been homeschooling for two years and I’m the only one in my circle doing something different like this. I found out today another mom was telling my daughter I need to put them back in school. She said “I’ll tell her for you” to my oldest daughter. Every time I turn around, because I’ve been struggling with depression lately, I hear put them back in school. No one asks me how I feel. I’m following my call to teach them and it’s not easy. It’s hard but so good. I needed your video today. Thank you!

Thank you for this! We are on the struggle bus. I have a teenager that is having a hard year. We suspect she’s autistic. Her only friend moved across the country. She’s always been behind with grade level. I am so afraid I’m screwing her up. I have a six year old that wants nothing to do with school. She is a reluctant reader. I’m so tired of dragging her through school time.

One of the main reasons I absolutely LOVE your channel is how freaking real you are. Thank you so much for showing up when you can Jamie & posting these amazing videos to let us mamas know we’re not alone in this! Sending so much love 💕

I needed this!! There are so many days where I feel like I’ve never been so NOT on top of things in my entire life - thank you for speaking truth!! 😘

@idaliamartinez3270

Thank you. I have been thinking about homeschooling my child. The struggles you are talking about are hitting me because I am feeling like I am failing my child by leaving him in public school. He is behind and I know I could bring him up spiritually and academically at home. Thank you!

I have graduated 4 so far. It's amazing the amount of confidence you gain once you graduate your first.

@elizabetheckhardt4060

I cannot stop crying 😢 I have been struggling so much. Homeschooling feels impossible and that I’m failing my 4 boys. I didn’t know how I could keep going. Thank you so much for this encouragement

Hi Jamie,

@L--C 2 жыл бұрын

I’m homeschooling 4 boys and have 2 little ones who aren’t school age. I haven’t enjoyed homeschooling for YEARS. It pretty much all sucks. Trying to teach all of them and manage the littles. Everything is a challenge. I don’t have any school options I’m willing to consider so I’m not going to stop, but I don’t like homeschooling. I like my curriculum and there’s nothing I want to change with it. I don’t have social media so it’s not comparisons stealing my joy. It’s just a bunch of kids that all need me and learning difficulties.

Omg I think brought me to your video today, I have been thinking about homeschooling for a long time and now with the recent shooting in Nashville this feeling has become stronger, I have 4 kids and one on the way and it seems impossible for me to do this but I will pray to the lord to guide me. Thank you so much for this video

@abideintheword.

I am really struggling this past month with homeschooling. Please be praying for me and thank you for your words 💕

You are so right. I've been in that feeling of failure, worry and even fear. Balancing homeschool, motherhood and homemaking. I've been praying and just asking the Lord to help me through and help me to see the vision He has for my home and my family. Such an encouraging word and thankful for your honest heart as always.
