Praying Through the Storm - (Free Online Prayer Retreat) - August 3rd & 4th, 2020

Just a super quick reminder about the online prayer retreat which starts Monday, August 3rd @ 9am in the Facebook group (search for Praying Through the Storm - Online Prayer Retreat --- or click the link below!)

 Here is the "schedule"... and no worries about not being able to be there for all the live sessions - you can watch any of them later on (they'll be available in the group forever!)


Monday, August 3rd
9am (Central Time Zone) - Facebook Live "Welcome" & "What Is Prayer"
10am - Facebook Live "Psalm 91"
11am - Facebook Live "A Quick Look at the Sermon on the Mount"
11:30am - 1pm - BREAK - (Solitude & Personal Prayer Time)
1pm - Facebook Live "Luke 11:1-13"
2pm - Facebook Live "Day 1 Prayer Session"
3pm - BREAK - (Solitude & Personal Prayer & Listening Time)
8pm - Facebook Live (I will pop on and wrap up Day 1)
Tuesday, August 4th
7am (Central time) - Quick Facebook live to start the day before my doctor's appointment
7:15am - 9:15am (Solitude & Personal Prayer & Listening Time)
10am - Facebook Live "Psalm 63"
11am - Facebook Live "Zechariah 9:12"
Noon - 1:30pm - BREAK
1:30pm - Facebook Live "Hebrews 4:16 & Hebrews 11:6"
2:30pm - Facebook Live "Day 2 Prayer Session"
4pm - Facebook Live "Luke 18:1-8 & wrap up the prayer retreat"



The main reason this is taking place in a group rather than on a page is so that people can share prayer requests without any concerns those will be on a public page (it's a private group for that reason alone - but you are welcome to invite your friends to join...it's sure not a clique and is for anyone who would like to spend a couple of days leaning in to study what God's Word has to say about prayer & spend some dedicated time growing in your own personal prayer life.)

A Homeschool Mom's Devotional by award-winning podcaster Jan L. Burt

Colossians 4:17 tells the reader to "be sure to carry out the work the Lord gave you". How can this be applied to the enormously busy lifestyle of a homeschool mom? First of all, we must always remember that the Word of God has the answer for our every need and we can trust fully in God to use His Word to lead us, guide us, correct us, and bless us. Keeping that in mind, let's consider what this verse is saying. We are told to carry out, or complete, the work the Lord has given us. We are wives, mothers, homeschoolers. Those three BIG job descriptions come immediately to mind when I think of homeschooling mothers. Applying God's Word to our life means carrying out our work as wives, as mothers, and as homeschoolers. When I am exhausted from another long day (or long week, long month, long year, etc.) I still must honor the Lord by blessing my husband. Maybe that means having a hot meal on the table when he arrives home from work. Perhaps your husband

I Gotta Let You Know Two Very Important Things (Seriously, They Are Truly Important For You To Know...)

 First, a big --- fat --- hefty dose of encouragement for you, my wonderful homeschooling friend.  As you get ready to roll into the fall of 2020...stop for just one moment and hear what God's Word has to say to you right here, right now, on the brink of the last stretch of what has possibly been the most turn-your-whole-world-upside-down year ever.  Psalm 125:2 - As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people both now and forevermore.   You are surrounded.  Completely & totally, that's exactly how surrounded you are.  Going into the great unknown as, say, a working mom whose children are going to be doing school online at home (or a working mom homeschooling and working from home for just the next several months, but not planning on continuing to home educate after things "normalize" again).  This is God's promise just for you as you embark upon this season of life. I really, truly believe He wants you to know that He has you surrounded

My Preferred Bible Reading Plan

We all know that reading our Bibles is a key part of living a healthy life as a follower of Jesus. But busy homeschool moms may, at times, struggle to know what part of the Bible to read on any given day. Some people read the Bible through, Genesis to Revelation, and when they finish simply start over. Others have reading plans that follow along with the sermons their pastor is currently preaching. And yet others find themselves "stuck in the Psalms", since they're not quite sure what to read. I'm not going to tell you how many chapters a day you should read, or that you need to do exactly what I do. I'm just going to share what has worked for me, and hopefully encourage you to get into the Word using some type of plan ~ because every homeschool mom knows what happens to our plans when we fail to create a plan, right?! I use a prayer and Bible reading guide called "Prayer Point" , published by Samaritan's Purse. About every 8 weeks, I receive a

Schoolhouse Review Crew ~ A Thomas Jefferson Education (This Week in History)

Rachel DeMille, of Thomas Jefferson Education , promotes a fascinating educational philosophy (based on The Seven Keys of Great Teaching ). Her website, www.TJEd.org , provides a thorough explanation of this philosophy. It's also an excellent history resource that I hope my blog readers will consider using in their homeschools. I really love what Rachel is doing! I am not reviewing everything available at the website - trust me, there is quite a bit to be found there! What I am reviewing is " This Week in History ", a resource that covers a wide variety of subjects and topics on a daily basis in an engaging and interesting manner. I have used this as a part of our history curriculum, but it really is so much more than history.  Each week I receive an email with the current week's " This Week in History ". I am also able to access this information at the website, along an archive that covers the current year. And I also receive daily emails, called &q

Do You Homeschool? Then You Need to Read This Article!

Whether you have been homeschooling for a month, a year, or a decade, you've inevitably faced the "questions". Questions about socialization, college, athletics, driver's ed, high-school biology, etc. etc. etc. and so on..... It seems as if homeschoolers are ripe for questions from day one; but the flip side seems to be that there really is no flip side. We are expected to patiently answer any and all questions, smiling politely and pretending we've never heard this line of questioning before. But when we try to ask a few questions about, say, public schools as a whole or the issue of private schools being used as a last-ditch landing spot for students expelled from public school, well...ahem...we're pretty much told to keep quiet. No one wants to hear our questions, and often times no one really wants to hear our answers to their questions. They just kind of want us to....go....away. I'm not planning on going away any time soon. And neither are my fiv
