"And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose." R828
I am celebrating this morning 🥳 l am celebrating today 🥳 It has been confirmed my son will be homeschooled next year 🙌
Ladies l had the faith of a mustard seed that this could happen... But it happened in His perfect timing with no interventions needed from me.
But how did it happen? Well all things DO work together for good dont they? I have shared in previous PR's that my son has been struggling in school since he started. It has been an endless struggle for him with his spelling and laguages.
I have been praying constantly speaking to my Husband over all these schooling years and his Heavenly Father has been there every step of the way providing him with comfort and strength .
This year his teacher approached us and told us that she would like to have him assessed because she believes he is very intelligent and does not feel right to fail him. I took this to my Beloved and just left it with Him but time was going on and our school year is almost at an end and we needed to get it done before school ended.
Two days ago i sat down with my son to do his homework and he told me he did very badly in his spelling and maths tests. He looked so upset and distressed in his spirit and he forgot his test book as it had to be signed and started crying. My heart broke for him.
I fasted for the last 2 days and not specifically about this but to draw closer to my Love... But this morning my Love led me to speak to eh to tell him that we need to make some decisions regarding the assessment (which we dont have the money for its very expensive) and our son. The Lord helped us come to the conclusion that even if the school passes him after doing the assessment he will still struggle in a class environment.
So eh suggested that he has 2 choices, he repeats the year or homeschooling. He hands down no doubt about it happily chose Homeschooling 🥳 this little boy is so excited to be homeschooled 😅
There was some misgivings that l was perhaps not capable enough to homeschool and l will be the 1st to admit that I'm probably not.. Which l said but my Husband got that all worked out as my son had a tutor previously. She is a homeschooling mom who loves the Lord who is currently homeschooling her 2 sons. EH suggested that she help. So he had that part all worked out too 🥳
After speaking to my son i held his hands to pray thanking his HF for taking away the burden school had become and for giving him HIS yoke which is light and easy.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” M11:28
Im really excited to dive deeply into the H4H course and l will share as l journal and He leads me 😍 https://encouragingwomen.org/h4h/
This brought tears of happiness to my eyes. I remember you saying what a struggle school can be for him. What a blessing 💕
Thanks so much Hope the more l think about it and speak to Him about it the more blessed l feel.
As you well know Atarah, I believe that all children should be educated and taught by the ones Who love them the most—their mother and in some instances their father too. Ultimately whatever they struggle with or damage done by bullying or endless other ungodly influences it’s the parents who will be left with the dire consequences.
The fact that you (and most parents) feel inadequate means it will be your Husband and your son’s Father who you will rely on which makes this the PERFECT place to be. Just remember that experts have no clue about your son’s future ONLY his Creator does.
I’m extremely excited to watch your journey.

It’s also amazing that there are now 3 of you in SA homeschooling ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yvonne with her 2 children and Adina with her 2 children and now you with your son.
What you will be amazed at most is the transformative changes your son will make due to being in a safe, loving environment. I’d love to hear what Yvonne and Adina think.
Thanks Erin l journaled the 1st chapter today it was very encouraging and yes only HE truly knows my son inside & out and what He has in store for his future. There is so much pressure for kids to perform academically in school.
My daughter will complete her schooling as she has 2 years left but im thankful for WW and WW single that we have now that l could use to teach her to build on the rock.
Its great that l have Adina and Yvonne who have gone before me with homeschooling 🙂
Atarah this is absolutely amazing. It is going to be such a beautifully rewarding experience for you and your boy. You know the school system is so quick to put our children in a box whereas our Husband created each of them uniquely for His purpose.
Atarah thank you for sharing and I am so amazed that your Husband gave you the desires of your heart. I am busy with the enrolment forms and notice was given at the school.
I am going into this in faith, trusting my HH and my children’s HF to help and guide me, because I do not have a clue… But my children’s HF also changed their hearts, because my daughter did not want to hear anything about Homeschooling, now they are both extremely excited to go on this journey!!
But I am excited to be able to get my children out of the public/private school system and to be able to set them apart for good. Although a lot of damage was already done to my daughter through bullying, I am going to trust her HF to turn it around for good.
