Closing Our Homeschool: What God Taught Me this Past Year Ep061

Thriving in the Trenches a Catholic Podcast - A podcast by Becky Carter

I love homeschooling. I have been so thankful for all the years we had together, as a family, in that particular way. We had many successes and also many bumps along the way. It was such a blessing until it wasn't anymore. Our family needed to close up shop and pursue other avenues of education. In this episode, I am NOT preaching school choice -- that choice is a specific privilege for each family. Rather, I do share that what God has shown me, how he has consoled me, and the ways he has helped me grow in faith as I obediently let go of my own ideals and expectations.

Call to Action

Ask God what expectations you have allowed other people (unknowingly) to put on you and are now painfully holding onto those impossibilities.

Scripture

"When I thought, “My foot is slipping,”
    your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up.
When the cares of my heart are many,
    your consolations cheer my soul
. " -Psalm 94:18-19

Saint Quote

"Sweetest Lord, make me appreciative of the dignity of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience."
- St. Theresa Calcutta
