After over a decade in the game, I've had a lot of questions from families considering homeschooling. I thought I'd share that advice online for anyone else thinking about taking that leap. Of course, if you already read my blog, chances are you are already homeschooling. Perhaps this will be something you can share with your friends who are contemplating homeschooling. I will take a few weeks and share an entry per week.
Part 1
This one is short and sweet, but it is the most important thing to think about.
My advice to anyone considering homeschooling is to pray and ask direction first. There are lots of great reasons to homeschool, but God knows the best plans for your family. It's not a decision you want to make based on reason, but on obedience. He'll give you peace with the right decision.
That's it. It's nearly impossible to keep your brain from saying, "Yeah, but!" so I'm going to keep from sharing anything else just yet. Truly, stop thinking about it and just pray about it. Be quiet. Wait. Listen.

'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD,
'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.
