Homeschool Support
Encouraging Moms to
Homeschool Their Children
By Liz Nieves
I’m a homeschooling mom of a 9-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl. Howdid Iknow Iwascalledto homeschool? It was when my son
was just a little tot of 2 years old. I didn’t
know anything about “homeschooling,”
much less ever heard of it. All I remember is hearing it in my heart and thinking, “What is homeschool?” I mentioned
it to my husband, and he simply said,
“Our children would be a light in the
public school.”
Homeschooling is not
just school three to four
hours a day but a lifestyle
that is all day every day.
With that said, I never mentioned it
again. I just prayed about it and asked
the Lord to reveal it to my husband if
He wanted us to homeschool. Within a
short time after that my husband asked
me what I thought about homeschooling
our kids. I about fell over! God is faithful! I knew at that moment that it was
the Lord telling us to keep our children
home. I hit the ground running and have
never looked back, no matter how hard it
seems to get.
Since I have been on this homeschooling journey, God continues to unfold His
exciting Word to me about home education. Homeschooling is not just school
Rick and Elizabeth Nieves have been homeschooling their son,
Ricky ( 9), and daughter, Julia ( 7) for the last four years.
