Homeschooling Highschool
 Some homeschool families feel all alone. They may be the only homeschoolers in the area, the only people who recognise that homeschooling high school is possible. I have received phone calls from remote households throughout the country. Although the parents are devoted to homeschooling, some feel apart and completely alone. One hero of the past was perchance the most isolated person in world history. Noah. If you are alone, think with regards to Noah for a moment. He was building a ship, a HUGE ship, in the middle of a desert. He was laughed at by those in the area. He was not laughed at for the duration of the school year, or for the duration of high school, or even for 18 years of homeschooling. Noah was misunderstood, maligned, and ostracized for perchance ONE HUNDRED YEARS! Like you, his children were in all probability looked at with questioning eyes, as they helped their father build the Ark. What do you suppose the neighbors said in regards to Noah “forcing” his children to build the ark? Cannot you just imagine them saying, “But Noah, what in regards to SOCIALIZATION?!” How would it feel to receive persecution for a hundred years? But look at this verse. It describes how God viewed Noah. Genesis 6:8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. If you are alone, and not anyone else is homeschooling around you, take ease from Noah. You, too, may find favor in the eyes of the Lord. You may read more regarding Noah, his challenges, and how he coped, by reading Genesis 6-7 in the Bible. In our time, we have the Internet. You may be alone physically, but you are not detached from understanding people! Even if you do not have a aid group, and older friends who homeschool, you may still get the help you need. The Internet may give us a community. |
