Upon asking about the Bible curriculum, I'm met with "Well, we don't have any and we don't really read the Bible everyday, we are just trying to get the other subjects done and I don't have TIME to add anything else." Sorry God but could you just go away? Can't you see I'm trying to homeschool my child and I don't have time to teach them about you. After all, I'm protecting them from the public school system that leaves you out and I know you will bless my efforts. Meanwhile, God is shaking his head as he sees the same "leaving God out" happening in the homes of Christian homeschoolers.
If you don't put God first in your homeschool ladies, you might as well pack it up, sell your curriculum and send them off somewhere to be schooled because you are wasting your time! If Bible isn't important in your homeschool, then what are you teaching your children? You sure aren't teaching them that God comes first and how important it is to know His Word! I personally believe that Bible and prayer should come before other studies every morning. I don't care if we don't even have time to get to math, as long as I taught my daughter God's Word that day - to me, that is what matters most!
I see the eyes of a girl looking into mine as I teach her about God and her eagerness to know more. As I was teaching my daughter the bible lesson a few weeks ago, she stopped me and said "Mommy, you are planting seeds." I was amazed and wondering what she meant. She went on to tell me I was planting a seed in her and one day she would plant a seed by telling someone else about God or teaching her children. My heart melted!
Mothers, go plant some seeds this week! Realize that you are doing one of the highest callings in this world of being a mother and homeschooling your children! If you try and grow your garden without seeds, you will end up with a bed full of weeds that come in to invade the empty space. Don't let that empty space be in your children's hearts! Fill it with God and His Word!!
