Psalm 19:7-11 (ESV)
The law of the Lord is perfect,    reviving the soul;the testimony of the Lord is sure,    making wise the simple;the precepts of the Lord are right,    rejoicing the heart;the commandment of the Lord is pure,    enlightening the eyes;the fear of the Lord is clean,    enduring forever;the rules of the Lord are true,    and righteous altogether.More to be desired are they than gold,    even much fine gold;sweeter also than honey    and drippings of the honeycomb.Moreover, by them is your servant warned;    in keeping them there is great reward.

Dive into the realities of being a homeschool mom with Yvette Hampton and her long-time friend Crystal Coleman on this heartfelt episode of the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast. With over 20 years of friendship and shared homeschooling experiences, they delve into the integration of Christian principles into daily life with their children. Crystal, a homeschooling mom who transitioned from a career in public school teaching, offers advice on taking things one day at a time, handling academic struggles, and the importance of a supportive community. The discussion ranges from light-hearted anecdotes about the friendship between their daughters to serious reflections on overcoming parenting regrets. Listen in as these two "regular homeschool moms" provide wisdom, encouragement, and a powerful reminder to rely on the Lord for guidance in homeschooling. 
Come back Wednesday and Thursday for the rest of this important conversation.
