Encouragement for Homeschooling with Health Issues
1. God is not surprised by your health issues or the challenges you are facing with homeschooling. Actually, God has allowed these circumstances into your life for your good and the good of your children.
2. Your kids can learn a lot through your faithful example of clinging to Christ while dealing with health issues.
3. Ask God for wisdom on how to homeschool your children while dealing with the unique circumstances that you face. He promises to not only give you the wisdom to make wise choices for your family but to also provide you the means to accomplish all that He has for you and your children.

- Focus on the basics: God’s Word and heart issues, math skills, reading and writing.
- Accept the reality that your homeschool will look different than it previously did and different than other homeschool families.
