More Children Equals More Humility: Letter To My Daughters

Dec 12, 2011 | Heart Sharing | 9

As I look through the Scriptures I simply cannot see where being a mother means that I will become more humble. I have learned that God uses the everyday circumstances of our lives to do His amazing, transforming work in our lives but He can do this with any circumstance. He’s not limited to using parenthood!

It’s Not All Up To Me

Oct 25, 2011 | Featured, Heart Sharing, Homeschooling, Popular Posts | 11

It’s not possible nor reasonable to train or teach every child every thing they need to learn. I don’t need to do it all. Just as God is perfecting in me His work, so He is with the children. I am not perfecting them – He is. God has begun a good work in me and He will continue it until the Day of Christ.

We are constantly bombarded with advertisements – on the Internet, TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, in the daily mailbox, etc. Advertising is designed to turn our thinking to the exact opposite of Luke 12:15. Advertising tells us that we want, need more: bigger, better, stronger.

My Flesh Is Weak But…

Oct 13, 2011 | Heart Sharing | 3

Just like the disciples, I know Jesus. I’ve witnessed His works and seen some mighty acts of God. And, like Simon, I fall asleep all too easily. I get caught up in the busy world of children, housework, meals, bill paying and church… my life becomes full of these necessary things and I stop being as focussed on the still, quiet voice of God. I take comfort in the lives of the disciples… the ones who fell asleep instead of watching and praying. For it was through their failure that God taught them many valuable lessons and revealed Himself to them. And so it is with me. It is within my failures, my weaknesses that I see more of Him and His awesome power and righteousness.

Galatians Bible Study with Teens

Sep 30, 2011 | Bible Studies & Links, Homeschool Bible Reading, Homeschooling | 4

Meaty Bible study for teens, young adults and new/young believers. This book is not devotional in nature. The concepts it deals with are meaty. But it is written in a way that even children can understand. There’s no reason not to learn doctrine when there are truth-filled, helpful books such as this. Letters to Brian & Daniel will clearly impart wisdom on the nature of God, the nature of man, the sovereignty of God, salvation, grace, faith, law and freedom.
