Are you homeschooling from overflow or are you homeschooling on empty? Do you run out of steam halfway through the day or are you able to maintain joy and energy on the journey? God desires for us to minister to our family out of abundance, from the overflow of what He has poured into us. The Lord so longs to pour into you, to feed you from the Bread of Life so that you may be full. Taste and see that the Lord is good! More important than choosing the right curriculum or keeping to your schedule—more important than doing, doing, […]

When a circumstance or situation comes your way that seems to deflate your joy, do what David did: Strengthen yourself in the Lord. How do you do this? Following David’s example, begin with praise.   Praising God even (or especially) when you don’t feel like it is SO important. It’s a true sacrifice. A sacrifice of praise. We should not be led by our feelings (our so), but by our spirit. Our soul—our mind, will, and emotions—should not rule us. Let your spirit rule and praise God in spite of the yucky thoughts and feelings going on in your soul. […]

Have you ever heard the acronym ACTS? It’s been around for a while and is a great way to remind us how we should pray. The ACTS acronym is an especially useful tool for corporate prayer. Here’s how it’s broken down: A is for Adoration (praising God) C is for Confession (confessing our sins to God) T is for Thanksgiving (giving thanks to God) S is for Supplication (bringing our requests to God)   However, a few years ago, I realized that one VERY important element was missing from this acronym. This element should actually come before all the others. […]

Someone once said when you pray Scripture, it may sound like you praying to you, however, to the devil, it sounds like God. Because of this, praying God’s Word is powerful and even essential if we are to walk as victors through the spiritual battles of this life. For the Word of God is quick and powerful, sharper than a double-edged sword. Hebrews 4:12 God’s Word will never return void but will accomplish that which God pleases for it to accomplish. Isaiah 55:11 Praying God’s Word has become a priority in my life and it’s something that brings me great joy. I’m […]

Who hasn’t heard Jesus’ words in Mark 11:24? “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” We also know He tells us that with the faith of a mustard seed, we can move mountains and whatever we ask for in His name, will be ours. Why, then, does this not fit our own reality? Is it because it’s not true? Is it because Jesus wasn’t talking to us? Did God lie to us? No. This cannot be. Our reality confirms the existence of God: our changed hearts, […]
