I'm really going to make an effort to document more of our homeschool journey. I've found that there are so many people who want to take the leap into home education with their children who have special needs, but they don't know where to start. I want to help, to share any information that I have with others.
But tonight, I must say, sometimes it can be hard. Not necessarily educating your children at home, but just being a parent of a kiddo with special needs. Sometimes (i.e., today) I find myself throwing up my arms and saying "Lord, please don't let me mess her up". I just feel so inadequate at times. I struggle with so many decisions. Am I doing enough? Am I doing too much? Am I giving enough guidance? Am I giving enough independence? Am I being realistic? Do I have aspirations that are too high? What do I do?
At the end of it all, I must trust. Trust in the one who brought us this far, who brought us together and who will lead us to the end.
"...'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness'. Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about about my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may dwell in me." 2 Corinthians 12:9
