When most the people, who know nothing about it, think of home-schoolers, they think of unsocialized morons.
Well, the more I step out into the world, the more I see I am not as all the other homeschoolers I have heard about. I am not above-average smart, I am not great at interacting with people of all ages ( or any people at all.), I don't know tons of stuff that would just blow your mind.
I am less than average.
One of those that people would point at and say "See, that's why you shouldn't home school."
I don't do well just learning on my own. I've never really had interests. I've only had a couple of friend in my life that were around my age, and that was before I was a teen. I can't hold up a conversation well.
Of course, I'm just truly a mess, and none of this has much to do with homeschooling at all. It's not the homeschooling, but me that failed.
So, here I am. Turning 20 this year. Living with my grandparents. Never worked a job in my life. Below average knowledge of school things. Plainly ignorant of anything that might matter, save the most important thing of all... Christ.
What little I can do is all "luck" and "talent", and it's not even that good.
I look at all my limitations, and I know I can't do anything that the average person is expected to do... Which tells me God has something special in store for my life.
As I have been doing the last 9 months, I am becoming a person that is willing to accept what life God has given me. Not to be content on being a leach, but to take this opportunity to grow into someone that can do something.
When I moved here with my grandparents, I didn't know my own name half the time. My reality did not exist in this world. I came here shattered. Slowly, God has been putting me back together in a whole new way. He has been leading me to learn about Him, and trust in Him.
This is another stereo-type... "The Religious Nut"
Making God part of my WHOLE life, not just my Sunday mornings.
To truly be a Christian, you can't just have Him only there a couple hours out of the week. It doesn't work like that.
While I am still young in Christ, I am learning. I am learning that I must be willing to be uncomfortable (which I almost always am already), I must not fear anyone on earth, or what they can do. I must be willing to eat humble pie, to be walked upon in the name of Christ. I must be willing to stand and shout His praises, spreading the word of His mighty works. I must listen to Him, and have a relationship always, unbroken by sin. I must change from my wicked, sinful ways, unto His glorious paths of light. I must not allow satan to distract me, or beguile me from the things of God.
I am learning what I must do, and be, to be as Christ. For I am the daughter of the Most High, and Princess to the Heavens. I must tell of my King, and I must serve those around me as my Savior did.
