I am feeling burnt out and very isolated. I've tried to connect to a co-op but it just hasn't clicked yet. Nobody seems to have time to invest in relationships. I'm beginning to dread each school day and I don't even want to teach my kids right now. Please pray that I will be content where God has me and have the energy to serve my family. Iam in excellent health so this isn't a physical issue. I feel more like we are under a spiritual attack.
I just typed you a long response....and then it got deleted somehow You are not alone. It is a hard road. Take a break from school. One week off will do wonders!
Dear Mama26, Thank you for your humble post. We are here to help and support your homeschool efforts. If you would like to talk with a seasoned Tapestry of Grace Phone Mom for encouragement and wisdom, please contact me @ melody@tapestryofgrace.com and I will connect you with a mom in your area. I may also be able to help you find a co-op in your area. Blessings, Melody
I'm praying for you. The feeling of being isolated, without relationship is so hard. Just know that you really aren't alone. We who do care are out here.

Thank you for your responses and prayer. I'm beginning to see how I have some things out of priority. Sometimes I let my kids be the center of my universe instead of letting the Lord be first in my heart. I've been homeschooling a very long time (doing Tapestry longer than anyone I know) and I guess I feel burnt out. Please continue to lift us up.
Melody, thank you for your offer. I actually do know others in my area in a co-op. It just seems that everyone is busy running, doing activities and I just need a prayer partner or someone that I can share my heart with and that takes time. I know that if I really "need" that the Lord will provide. Perhaps I just haven't trusted him for it. Thanks, Mama26
