Becoming a homeschool mama was not something I was prepared for. I have had great highs and great lows alike. But the one thing I enjoy is that I get to be real with my children in their education.
My son is deep into the algebraic world and I am my happiest because of it. Algebra makes sense to me. There's an answer. It's always the same answer. I can work out the problems and come to a conclusion. It's the ultimate subject for those with anxiety. There is completion. It is beautiful. Even if you struggle with a problem, you can find help to work through it until the answer is completed. I literally spoke to my son today the following words: Algebra is the closest thing to Jesus we have on this side of heaven. It is the same yesterday, today, and forever! Okay, I might be getting dramatic, but it's fairly true. Solving for x is repetition. It's doing the same type of problem over and over again. Routine is a beautiful thing. Our world is so often topsy turvy. It is filled with the unknown and stress. For so many of us, it is a wonderful thing to have consistency. Maybe math isn't close to godliness, but you can follow the trail I left. I'm all for surprises and twist endings. But to live a life that is consistently inconsistent is frustrating. Doing something like continual algebra problems with my son gives me a sense of calm (until he acts like a dingleheiffer and I lose it). If only I could find more things like algebra and Jesus in my life.
