Homeschooling as a Christian can be a difficult choice. Finding quality curriculum that matches up with your belief system can be near impossible. I read an article by a Christian homeschooler that really says it well. I’ve pasted my favorite part below:

“You will be extremely happy to know that you have nothing in common with me. You glide along through life like a leaf down a crystal stream. You tend to steer in the direction everyone else is steering, and the road ahead of you is well lit and mapped out. Your children have been welcomed with open arms by everyone they’ve met, and your home is a bastion of peace, harmony, and good will. Best of all, your homeschooling experience has been the most rewarding and inspiring era of your life, and you’ve never doubted your calling for even a moment. See? I told you that you have nothing in common with me.”

She may be writing a bit tongue in cheek but I certainly relate to her leaf hitting every wet rock on the way down the stream. I probably wouldn’t appreciate the ride without a few bumps though.

Does your leaf keep sticking to the wet rocks too?
