Homeschooling Is Life! - Encouragement for your homeschooling journey!

• Oct. 9, 2008 - Encouragement for your homeschooling journey!

Hi Friends!

Times are a little bit tough, aren't they? Are you finding yourself worrying about the economic crisis? Are you worried about the elections? Are you fretting about your ability to teach your children at home? We all have many concerns on many levels, and although it is very hard NOT to worry, we all find ourselves doing that. The Lord tells us not to worry, and have faith. I want to encourage you to do that today! Jesus can give us the peace that passes all understanding, and believe me, there is a lot going on in this world and in my life that I don't understand! But I do understand and believe that through Christ, we can have victory and peace! Lets pray for each other, ok?

I want to let you know that the Hopeful Farm beneft is still active! (Wrote about it a few weeks back.) You can take a look at it right here. It has been extended through the month, so please stop over there and at least read about this wonderful ministry to families with special needs in their lives.

I encourage you to donate...even it if is just a little bit, it will help! And Jill is giving away hundreds of dollars worth of downloadable gifts to you for helping get Hopeful Farm up and running. Read about it and get your kids involved! Kids LOVE to be a part of things that are from the heart of the Lord, and I truly belive that Hopeful Farm is just that. There are already kids doing Sunday School projects to help Hopeful Farm, and others doing their own little fundraisers too. Isn't that fabulous!?

Both of my Ebooks are part of the Hopeful Farm resource package for donors. I am So happy to be able to do that! My brand new Ebook, "Homeschooling Is Our Life" is finally up and running on the web. You can take a look at the info about it here. Thank you so much to all of you who were willing to take a look at it! I will be contacting those of you who haven't heard from me yet. "Haircuts For Little Men" is also included in the Hopeful Farm Benefit. (Many, many other wonderful products have been donated by major homeschool publishers! ) What a blessing to get back so much tangible blessings, not to mention the intangible ones ~ for a small sacrifice!

Thanks friends, for being there for one another. That is what it's all about, isn't it?

Homeschooling Is Life!

Thanks for letting me know where I got the idea for the prayer box. :) I can pull up Hopeful Farm at church and listen there I think. Hopefully soon our area will have high speed internet.

Hope you have a great weekend. Thanks for the comment....
blessings,
Teena

About Me

Hi There!

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.
