• No Excuses

    When we prayerfully began our homeschooling journey over 13 years ago, I knew I loved children and I loved to teach. I will be the first to admit that I was scared to step out into these unknown waters, but we looked to the Lord for help and we trusted Him. With one child just […]

  • What If?

    Yesterday, I was talking to someone about some things they were worried about. Today, I had to follow my own advice. We all worry about different things…it depends on the season of life we are in or even the time of day. Worry can hit us at any time. The question is what do we […]
