Summary
If you follow me on IG, you are probably aware that we are pulling out of our private Christian school and homeschooling after Christmas.
It has been a journey and I wanted to share this mostly for my own sake to remember my WHY when it inevitably gets hard. Hard is not the same thing as bad! And there will also be so much good. But I know that it will not be an "easy" task by any means, and this conversation is the heart behind our decision as a couple to choose different for our kids' education.
These are conviction issues and so the content in this episode is obviously conviction-level stuff - so don't be offended if your conviction is different! That's ok. This is a personal decision only a husabdn and wife can make with God. But I pray it will bolster and encourage other families who are in the same spot we are.

| 0:23.2 | Thank you. Well, hello and welcome back to Kindled. So today I am sharing a conversation that I had with my |
| 0:51.1 | husband, Joey, on our decision to homeschool. |
| 0:59.4 | This has been kind of a long time in the making, and many of you have followed along on Instagram with our journey, as I have shared really for the past several years, that |
| 1:05.8 | that's been a desire of ours at some point in the future, just to know when that would be. |
| 1:11.8 | And it's finally kind of become clear that it is time. And that's both an exciting and a terrifying |
| 1:17.7 | prospect. It's scary. Even though I was homeschooled myself, it's totally, totally different |
| 1:23.3 | being the mom and the homeschool, you know, the homeschool parent on that side of the equation, |
| 1:28.8 | very different than being the child. |
| 1:31.2 | But I do have some idea of what I've signed up for and some idea of just the sanctification. |
| 1:37.0 | It's going to be happening here in about a month when we start spring semester as a homeschool family. |
| 1:43.4 | But this is something that I've kind of shared with my Instagram audience and brought you guys |
| 1:49.5 | into Ask for Prayers. |
| 1:51.2 | This is actually our final week of school. |
| 1:53.4 | This is week right here, the one that I am releasing this in. |
