It’s been a couple months since our last homeschool journal. The schooling never actually stopped, rather, it’s continued at an abnormal pace. More hands in the garden, more education on nutrition, more tea/coffee breaks, more days reading and playing instead of doing book work. I’ll admit, the summer bug bit us rather early this year.Continue reading “End Of Spring Homeschool Journal”

March Homeschool Journal
Spring is finally here! Cecelia has been asking me when spring will be here before December started…needless to say some of us have been looking forward to it more intensely than others. I have put off the finishing of this homeschool journal and proceeded to engage in the very real life of homemaking, homeschooling, chickenContinue reading “March Homeschool Journal”
February Homeschool Journal
As we head into the lovely month of March and creeping closer to spring time I am drinking warm cups of coffee, devouring heart changing books, doing lots of writing and completing our February Homeschool Journal.

He Meets Me Here
As I sit here in my quiet house, with feet propped up on a fluffy little poof, blanket draped over my legs, I can feel my heart begin to race. I work hard to calm my mind, to control my breathing as my chest becomes more heavy. Anxiety is a familiar companion. One that IContinue reading “He Meets Me Here”
Hiding
“And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees in the garden.” Genesis 3:8 In the passage of Genesis that addresses the fall, we see Adam flee.Continue reading “Hiding”
Who Am I? – Christ Centered Identity
I used to think my identity had a lot to do with shallow things like my name, my favorite things, or my strong opinions. As life went on my identity morphed into whatever was most important to me at the time. Then when I became a mom, my identity and importance came from the title,Continue reading “Who Am I? – Christ Centered Identity”
January Homeschool Journal- A Commentary On Community & Gentle Starts
We took our Christmas/New Years break very seriously this year. We needed a rest from our normal routine and recovery from a whirlwind of a December. So when we finally got back to homeschooling we started gently. That’s one of my favorite benefits of homeschool. You decide when to take a week off, or thatContinue reading “January Homeschool Journal- A Commentary On Community & Gentle Starts”
The January-est Of January’s
As we move through the days and weeks of a new year, it can feel sluggish for some. Not the “fresh start” that we may envision. That’s ok. I get it. Here’s something uplifting to read: Psalm 36:5-11 “Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends into the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Your righteousness isContinue reading “The January-est Of January’s”
Sanctification
Sanctification by dictionary definition means set apart as or declare holy; consecrate. In the Bible it is the ongoing process of being ‘set apart’ that requires our cooperation with God. We are called to continue in the process sanctification until we depart from this earth. “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies ofContinue reading “Sanctification”
Honesty And Other Hard Things
Throughout the last year and a half I have been sinking into deeper honesty about the life I’ve built around me, why I’ve made the choices I’ve made, and where do I go from here. Some people view this as self destructive. Personally, I’m choosing to view it as an honest inspection, deconstruction and rebuildContinue reading “Honesty And Other Hard Things”
