Fulfilling the call to homeschool requires rest for the journey. It demands more than we are capable of producing in our own strength. We must depend on God for stamina and one another for motivation to keep travailing this path. It’s so important that we surround ourselves with encouragement. Do you receive encouragement on a daily basis? If not, ask the Lord to bring it to you. I hope you know that what you are doing as a homeschool mom is nothing short of amazing. It’s an incredible feat that requires supernatural enablement to complete. We need to position ourselves […]

Have you, like me, wondered if the decisions you are making are God’s perfect will? Do you fear perhaps that you are stepping out and going your own path, walking outside of His will? If so, let me encourage you: God’s will is not nearly as complicated as we imagine. We tend to get caught up in worry about whether or not we are right with God. “Am I in God’s will? Is my heart right? What are my motives in this activity? Are we on the right track? Is this God’s plan for us? What does God want for my […]

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1 Bondage comes in many flavors.

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, […]

For me, one of the hardest things about being a believer is being discouraged in my walk with God because of my imperfections. I want so much to be pure, holy, and Christlike. Yet I fail in so many little ways to measure up to His standard of perfection. Then I get in His word and He reminds me that our progress and potential are predetermined. It’s His job to mold me—and He’s on the job!    …being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ […]
