As homeschool moms, believing God’s Word for our children is paramount. Being our children’s primary educator can fill us with fear and trepidation. The enormity of this responsibility overwhelms even the most faithful homeschool mom. Yet we need not fear, for God’s Word promises great and wonderful things for our children. The question we must ask is this: Do we believe God’s Word? Or do we believe those nagging doubts and calamitous fears?  Let’s look at some promises from the Bible that we can stand on to give confidence on those difficult days. God thought about our children before He even […]

Fulfilling the call to homeschool requires rest for the journey. It demands more than we are capable of producing in our own strength.

It entangles us, keeping us from freely following Christ. In this passage, Paul is referring to the bondage of legalism. This particular bondage draws us away from God toward our idealized practices of behavior. We begin to depend on our activities and habits instead of the Holy Spirit. This can happen even when we have clearly heard from God concerning something we should do. Oftentimes, we begin to lean on that specific […]

“Please pray for me.” How many times have you heard that phrase? How many times have you agreed that you would? How often do you actually stop what you are doing and cry out to God on behalf of those who ask? When you do, how certain are you that you are engaging in effective prayer? That your prayers will bring real results? When I began my walk with God, I was constantly in prayer. As my passion and excitement (that initial joy of salvation) cooled a bit, I found my prayer life suffering. Yet in God’s great mercy for me, […]
