You are not alone, you have probably just admitted what most homeschooling Mums feel like (but don't like to admit). I know I certainly do, there are days when I would rather put my head under the pillow in the morning and deny the start of a new day yet like you I love what I do. You are an amazing wife, Mummy and friend, and an inspiration to me. God bless. Love you xx KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-387976619445452052.post-73241386401627360062011-06-14T23:08:32.277+01:002011-06-14T23:08:32.277+01:00"I can do all things through Christ who stren..."I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" A verse that has helped me on so many occasions. It's just at those times when I reach a certain place and I feel like I am so weak that this verse pops into my head and I know that He is walking with me. You will look back on these days Tamsyn and wonder how you got through it all. You have been so brave to voice your concerns don't be afraid to ask for help we are all here for you. He WILL strengthen you in your weakness may His peace fill your heart Be blessed Hilary xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-387976619445452052.post-80813576927089391062011-06-14T17:34:58.424+01:002011-06-14T17:34:58.424+01:00I am interested to know as to why you home school?...I am interested to know as to why you home school? I figured that you must do it for an important reason if it can be so stressful. It seems easier to send your children to school.

We are so blessed with our children and it is the best job on earth, but one of the hardest. Saying that, God has promised to give us strength in our weakeness, and none of us have all the answers. May you know His presence and don't let Satan use this to depress you or discourage you. You are a great Mum and have so many Godly attributes.

They are lovely children and you're great mum. But i understand you feeling overwhelmed, we all have those days, and i only have one child, so i can appreciate how much harder those days are for you.

So I think you're doing a great job and I'm very proud of you as my sister! It is a sign of God's working in your heart and maturity that you've been able to be open and post this as well, which should be a great encouragement in what God is doing through some of the challenges you're facing. As much as we dislike the challenges, they are the times we grow most. Will be praying for you, though.

I remember the difficulties of living with small children, loving them so much yet finding it so hard to be a good mother to them. Now look at me, in my sixties and the years have flown by so fast and there is so much I did not do that I regret deeply. But here we are living in the love of God and He knows it all. Bless you my dear! Enjoy your lovely family for they will be grown before you know it and I know that when you look back you will be satisfied that you gave all you could to your loved ones and nurtured them all in God's love. Be strong in the Lord for He is our refuge and our strength!

I know all too well how you feel and in comparison I have it so much easier. With half as many children, the eldest of which hasnt even started school yet and the youngest who is still thankfully mostly immobile, I still struggle almost every day. If I get dressed and make the bed, its an accomplishment. I too, feel ashamed of myself and my failures at times. Know that you are not alone in this and when I am having an especially difficult day, I will pray for you. Big hugs! MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
