It fills me with awe and wonder that each of our children was chosen by God before the foundation of the world. Each was created for a particular purpose- a purpose God ordained in advance that they should pursue. Our children are all unique, created with different gifts, talents, abilities, interests, passions, dislikes, and preferences. All of these characteristics make them the wonderful children He intended them to be. As parents we’re called to train and nurture our children, helping them develop their gifts and discover the wonderful purpose God has for them. If God was so intentional in creating them unique […]

The post Homeschooling with Purpose appeared first on Jeannie Fulbright Press.

I want to touch on praise and worship because I used to struggle so much with this and feel there may be some of you that struggle with it as well. Connecting with God in worship is a vital part of drawing close to God.  Worshipping and praising God is not just a blessing for Him; it’s a powerful gift He has given to us. I believe it’s supernatural somehow. We see this in Scripture when the army of the Lord was able to defeat an enormous foe by simply sending out the worship team ahead of the soldiers.It may […]

The post Connecting With God: In Worship appeared first on Jeannie Fulbright Press.

How do we, as busy moms, connect with the Lord? How do we nurture our walk with God in the midst of such activity? For homeschool moms it can be a challenge, but connecting with God in a quiet place is the first step. When Jesus needed to connect with God, He escaped to a lonely place. This is hard to do unless we are willing to awaken an hour or more before our family does. I’m not going to pretend this was an easy thing for me when all my children were in the home. It wasn’t. But it […]

One day a friend called and urged me to go to a particular prayer meeting at another friend’s house. Normally, I’m up for prayer of any kind. Yet my time is so limited that I’ve become very dependent upon the Lord in every decision I make—even something as simple as whether or not to hop on over to a prayer meeting. I wanted to go, but as I prayed I felt I should stay home and spend time with the family. I felt a twinge of “spiritual guilt” (you know, that kind of illegitimate guilt that says you “should” do this and […]

The post The Lord is Our Shepherd appeared first on Jeannie Fulbright Press.

There are times in our walk with God when we feel distant from Him, yet we aren’t sure how to get back to that place of intimacy we once knew so well. Our lives are so busy and our days are jam packed with things to do and places to go. Worries, concerns, and endless plans send our thoughts racing. We wonder how we’ll ever find our way back to drawing near to God.   In this situation, one thing is for certain: we won’t reconnect if we don’t make the effort to do it. God is knocking at the door […]
