    Middle of the Night Musings: Here's What I Know

    When all the Things converge--a bad mood, a lack of sleep, a dog that vomits, children who didn't do their homework--Rachel rises (though, not by choice) in the middle of the night to muse and meet with the Lord, reminding herself (and hopefully, you) that you are never alone.

    Taking Time for Reflection

    This week, we take a moment to reflect on the past few weeks of homeschooling, on lessons learned, and on the value of considering what we can put down. As we move "further up and further in" to the academic year, we encourage homeschooling parents to take time to sit with some reflective questions, alongside their children, and in the presence of the Lord--putting down shame and guilt, filling the bucket one drop at a time, and numbering our days so that the Lord will establish the work of our hands.  You can find the show notes here.

    Homeschooling is a Battlefield: Spiritual Warfare

    Some days, homeschooling feels just too hard: tempers flare, children fuss, teaching a 7 year old to read is more difficult than you ever expected--and let's not even mention algebra and your freshman. It feels as if you never get a moment to yourself. And you haven't even touched the grading yet. Maybe financial burdens, illness, or marital strife are thwarting your attempts at even getting to the school books, and it's all you can do to keep kids focused on homework let alone make it feel like an idyllic and cozy family scene. What is going on? And, more importantly, how can you fix it before you throw in the towel altogether?  Find the show notes here
