The Truth about “How I Do It”
For me, the real answer to the question “How do you do it?!” is this: Jesus.

This is such a great reminder that we all need Jesus to help us get through our days. After all, through him all things are possible. I have to start out my homeschooling days with my devotional time from my Homeschool Mom’s Bible. (It has become a huge lifeline for me every homeschool day!)
Thank you for this. I think between everything going on I have forgotten where my joy comes from. I’ve become so rushed to get school done, that I’ve forgotten who gave me the strength to do it.
I was weeping by the end of this post. I’m in the midst of discovering through various means (mainly sermons and God’s word) exactly what you have described. It helps on days when I feel completely discouraged about my sins, short comings, and weaknesses regarding homeschooling and mothering. But I’m faced with very dear, well-meaning friends trying to encourage me by saying “You got this!” or “You’re an amazing mother!” I want to tell them, “But I DON’T ‘got this’ and I’m NOT an amazing mother…if you only knew the sins I deal with and how I struggle!” Christ is the only reason for ANY good that anyone sees in me. Your testimony in this post was an extremely encouraging reminder.
Thank you. xo
