Homeschooling as a Catholic mother is a calling—one filled with beauty, purpose, and let’s be honest… plenty of moments that challenge us to our core. It’s in those hard, messy, grace-filled moments that we’re invited to do something radical: Trust God.
Why Trusting God Changes Everything
There’s a verse I come back to often:“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain” (Psalm 127:1). This simple reminder has carried me through difficult seasons. When my lesson plans fall apart, when the baby is teething, or when math ends in tears—it’s this verse that brings me peace.
God called me to this. And He walks it with me.
How I Invite God into Our Homeschool
Prayer comes first. We begin our days offering them to Jesus. Sometimes it’s a full morning basket with Scripture and saint stories. Sometimes it’s a whispered “Jesus, help me.” or "Jesus, I trust in you". Both are valid.
We make room for grace. Not every day will go as planned. That’s okay. Grace fills in the gaps between my intentions and reality.
The sacraments fuel me. Weekly Mass, (Hopefully daily if you can), Confession, Adoration—even short visits to the Blessed Sacrament—all help me pour out what I’ve first received from the Lord.

Charlotte Mason and Catholic Trust
Charlotte Mason said that education is “an atmosphere, a discipline, a life.” I’ve learned to hold her wisdom in one hand, and my Catholic faith in the other—trusting God to guide me when the two need to meet in the middle. Sometimes that means slowing down, making more time for prayer, or rethinking a lesson altogether.
Encouragement for You
If you’re feeling weary, I want you to know this: God sees the diapers and the dishes. He sees the phonics lessons and the saint stories. He sees you.
And He delights in your “yes”.
So take heart, dear. You're not behind. You're right where God has called you to be.
Let’s keep raising little saints—One little way at a time.
