Reality

I am a single mom.

I don't wear this title as a badge of honor, nor do I use it as a crutch for limping through the day-to-day craziness of life. It is merely a fact.

But, this fact doesn't define who I am, nor does it define Whose I am. First and foremost, I am a daughter of the Most High God, a child of the King, and He has a good plan for my life and for the lives of my children. I am honored to be called Mama by four amazing children, whose ages presently range from 2-10 years. I am a homechooling mom. I truly believe that we have been called to be a homeschooling family, and we will continue to homeschool until such a point as the Lord says to do something different. I am a tutor with my homeschool co-op. This school year was my first year to tutor with our co-op, and it was such a blessing to do so. The kids were great, and we had a blast learning together! (I had the youngest children enrolled in our co-op, a group of 4- and 5-year-old children.)

Our day-to-day may be similar to yours, or it may be completely different. But through this blog, my desire is to share with you the reality of life as a single homeschooling parent who has come to truly realize that she is Not Alone. I have grown in my dependence upon the Lord and have learned so much. There is still healing to take place in my heart and in the hearts of my children, and I know that the Lord will do it.

I hope that you will join me here at Not Alone Homeschoolers. Some days will be lighthearted, some days will be a little more, but I hope that you will find encouragement here.
