Would you be willing to share a few words about faith with me? Especially what your faith meant to you as a young girl? Did you have strong faith when you were young? What contributed to it? Or who was there to show you the way?
I am working on an article and would love some input from my friends. Did you have a turning point in your life that solidified your faith in God? Did you have an experience that pushed you to the brink of losing your faith? Who encouraged you? How has faith changed your life? I would love to be able to quote some homeschooling mothers on the meaning of their faith, especially as young ladies.
Maybe you are raising young ladies and have some meaningful ways of imparting your faith to them. Would you share that with me? What is it that is MOST important for you to pass on to your daughters? How are you building their faith today? Please prayerfully consider telling me. I really appreciate it!
To me, "faith" means totally trusting in God no matter
what! Cling to Him. I believe the most effective way
to impart our faith to our children is to live our
life for God everyday by loving, honoring, obeying and
serving Him. Be real. Be faithful. Live in such a
way that our children can't deny God is real and God
is love. Live a Christ-centered life! Demonstrate a
life of faith as exciting, rewarding, and desirable.
Be doers of the Word. Hide His Word in our heart.
Aim to please God in all that we do and all that we
say. And pray, pray, pray!
I am a grandma/Abiga of five and a mom of four. My faith journey I would say is not over yet because I still constantly struggle with believing God wants the best for me. As far as faith in God as being real and Jesus dying for my sins well, that never leaves me. Through it all,the ups and downs I still pray, read my Bible, and continue learning all I can about Him. Instillling a strong faith is difficult in children unless we are good examples which can include our mistakes and repentance in the area of faith. My children have been through a lot with their Christian dad leaving them years ago by his choice. The relationship with them has never been good since then so this has made their relationship with God be a struggle. I have seen the older two of my adult children come through with the oldest returning to God, now a youth minister, married to a wonderful woman, and a father to a beautiful baby girl and my second oldest a dedicated godly homeschooling wife and mom, The younger two are still struggling with many issues like rebellion, depression and discouragement with all the disappooitments in life they had to deal with as very young children. Faith can be a long journey that leads many back to God. I doubt this will help in your article but I thought I would share with you. Blessings.
Welcome to my blog. How nice of you to drop in.
What is this all about you say? Well, take a look and see.
Just like the plants springing forth we are following the Son, soaking up the living water and pulling the weeds. We can't wait to see what will bloom THIS growing season!
Oh, and just for fun, I will tell you a little about me, since that is what this space is for. :)
I am a mother of four lovely kids who are perfectly human in every way. They are sinful, selfish, loving, happy, grumpy, excited, capable, frustratable, (I know, that isn't a word but sometimes I make up my own) and sometimes contrite, and just like their parents.
But they are ours and we think they are all keepers!
We have homeschooled them all since birth with the trial and error method. I think they all have "made the grade" and they are now 16, 13, 11 and 9 years old.
We're not experts, except in the area of making mistakes and living to tell about them and hopefully learn from them!
We hope you will find some encouragement here as you read about the seasons of our life as a homeschooling family.

Here is a post my daughter wrote recently that might offer you a look at a pivotal moment in her faith journey that she is experiencing right now.
