For 8+ years now I have been a homeschool mom. Now that we have enrolled our kids into a private school for the fall, that title is no longer accurate. Who am I now? These type of questions have been rolling around in my mind for several weeks now. A few months ago, I would have told you that I am not sure we CAN enroll our kids...we've always homeschooled...I love homeschooling and all the freedoms you have...it has been a job I loved, though it was also the hardest job I ever had. For ... Read More about Who Am I?
Feeling Overwhelmed?
As moms, it can seem impossible to go a day without feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or worried about our families and children.

Listening and Waiting for God’s Voice
Listening to God can be hard. When I sit at His feet and read His Word, I know those words are from Him. I have no doubts.
