You can read my full   disclosure and privacy  As you are preparing for the next homeschool year, remember, homeschooling isn’t always about a textbook. While you are filling your planner full of plans for school lessons and activities, don’t forget to intentionally schedule down times too.  There will be days you and your children will just need to get out and enjoy the sun.  So, instead of bad weather days, try to include “Sun” days, “Fun” days. These days can lead to lots of fun and exploring. It gives your kids a chance to learn about some things outside that just may not be in a textbook. Hopefully these moments will refresh your homeschool when it starts to feel dull. Homeschooling isn’t only about academic education. It is also about learning life skills, building relationships, growing as a fa...

Like the Walls of Jericho

 A couple years ago my family was attacked spiritually. This lasted for what seemed like eternity at the time. After shedding so many tears to fill an ocean and constantly asking God why, I finally asked Him to help me see things through His eyes. Well, I couldn't see any light at the end of the tunnel for a long time after I asked that question.   Photo by Heather As time went on, I continued to study my Bible. I thought about Job and what he went through. It took him a while to get his breakthrough. Photo by Heather Then, I got to thinking about the Walls of Jericho. I did not have any physical walls to tear down, but I had to do something about this spiritual attack on our family. Everything I had tried so far had not worked. It seemed the attack got worse. More and more negative things happened and came against us.   I got to thinking, if the Israelites marched around Jericho and the walls tumbled down, could this possibly work for me? As a Prayer Warrior of...

The Knotted Rope

A few mornings ago, I felt God speak to my heart about marriage.  Especially my marriage with my own husband.  This stirred my soul up so deep.  I could not get it out of my mind.  I just knew this was something I could not forget.  The Lord was really tugging at my heart about this.  It was such a strong influence on my heart I feel I need to share it. Photo by Heather Let us think of marriage as a rope with a single knot in the middle.  The husband on the left side of the knot with both hands on the rope.  The wife on the right side of the knot and she is holding the rope with both hands as well. The knot in the middle of the rope represents God.  The closer the married couple is to the knot in the middle, the stronger their faith in God will be and the stronger their marriage will be.  The closer the couple is to the knot (God) the bigger the chance of their marriage being built on God.  Also, the closer they are to the knot (God...

It’s That Time of Year for Stuffy Noses

You can read my full   disclosure and privacy  Bonfire photo by Heather  Oh! how fun it is to have cooler weather and enjoy some backyard bonfires and s’mores with family and friends. However, it is not very enjoyable when the stuffy noses hit home.  Especially now that Covid is a thing.  Around where we live, you don’t hear much about the common cold anymore.  If you hear someone sneeze, cough, or sniff, it may stop you dead in your tracks. If you are like me, you may have this thought run through your mind, “Is that a normal cough or is it covid?” If you are the one who sneezes, coughs, or sniffs you probably end up with many sets of eyes staring at you when it happens in public.  Enough of Covid. I really don’t want to talk about it. However, I would like to talk about those pesky little symptoms we ...

Right where I should be

You can read my full   disclosure and privacy  I sat there folding laundry. It was way past bedtime. I could have folded it during the day. However, I found myself trying to catch up. I could have just left it and went on to bed, but the pile of clothes would have grown and become overwhelming. Was I really procrastinating?  No, not at all.  I spent the day right where I needed to be.  I could have taken care of laundry in the next room, but I chose to hang out in the living room and let the laundry wait. I hung out with my teenager who wasn’t  feeling well.  Yes, I said teenager. Yes, a teen is old enough to hang out and watch movies without her mom.  But I just wanted to be there in the moment. Be there just in case she needed something. Just being there without saying a word actually speaks “I l...
