Posted in Single Moms as Keepers at Home

Some time back I posted about how hard I was trying to keep my mouth shut and my fingers still.  I was challenged to think about each post in terms of standing on my front step with an amplifier and saying what I wrote to anyone and everyone who walked by or writing it in a journal and leaving it on the counter in the ladies room at WalMart for all to read.  Would I do that?  If not, then why would I put it out there for the whole world to read . . . because truly we never really know who is reading our blogs.

I've tried to keep my posts as of late to the topic of homeschooling and single parenting and stuff not so personal.

Tonight I find myself not willing to purse my lips shut and sit on my hands, but I need to.  As always, what I want to share, would certainly be taken wrong by some and cause offense.  I can not be a stumbling block. 

I'd just like to thank the ladies who've contacted me recently to say that they are encouraged by my blog.  I'm praying for a time to come when I can feel free to blog without having to worry about causing offense.

To those of you who are single moms, grandmom's or even dad's who are or would like to home educate, I'm here to encourage you.  By God's grace and for His glory you can do the impossible.  Don't listen to people who will tell you that you can't or shouldn't.  Avoid too much contact with those who are not supportive.  Most of all, hang in there, lean on the Lord and trust in His promises to provide for your every need.  He is faithful, even when we are not.  I know.  I just finished out my 7th year as a single parent home educator.  If God can do it through me, He can do it through you!

Blessings, MaggieRaye
