I think about that day when He endured the scourging for me. The day when the crown of thorns was pushed upon His head for me. The day when He carried His own cross against His bloodied, torn up, bare back for me. The day when His hands and feet were nailed to the cross…

I don’t like to cook.  Never have.  Even as a young girl is was not my thing and it’s still not my thing today and now I am in my 40’s.  However, because I want to honor the Lord in all that I do, I cook for my family regardless of how I feel. When…

Our King is coming! Are you ready? Awake? Prepared for His presence? Or are you distracted with your to-do lists?  Traditions?  Expectations? For some strange reason, I rather doubt that Martha Stewart is showing up at your house with coordinating ribbons and bows and a high level of perfectionism; unless of course, you care to…

God has called you to the noble task of homeschooling, so He will equip you, just like He equipped Peter.  You just need to…

Over-achievement and perfection, accompanied with doubt and fear. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves as we homeschool our children. Looking back over your year, you will most likely ask yourself if you did enough. Did I teach my child enough math facts? Are my children becoming better readers and writers? What about science…

In the midst of homeschooling your children, tending to the responsibilities of the household, being a helper to your husband and dealing with relationships, when things go awry in your life do you ever wonder what is God doing?  Honestly, I know I have, many times in fact! I often wonder where God is when…
