I think often homeschool moms have moments of wondering if they are really making a difference or accomplishing what they should be. It seems to me that there is a perfection syndrome out there, i have suffered from this often. Our families are often looked at more closely than others and sometimes we get to feeling like we have to have the picture perfect family. We all know this to be an impossibility!
I have often felt a failure but God gently reminds me that He is faithful to accomplish the work in our lives if we are only obedient to Him.

I have struggled and struggled over the years to teach my dyslexic child and often wonder if we are even making any progress. I know it is even more difficult for him than for me to deal with this. Well, this morning God showed me once again how faithful He is!

Earlier today I caught a glimpse of an amazing site and was extremely blessed!
My dyslexic son was sitting at the table with a Boggle game and his younger 5 year old sister. What were they doing? He was teaching her the letters of the alphabet and how to put them together to make and spell words!!!! My son does not read on grade level yet and has many problems with writing and spelling, but he was using what he did know to teach his younger sister!! He doesn't like reading but he doesn't hate reading either and he loves his sister enough to take the time and teach her!

Thank you Lord for showing me I am making a difference!
