You've heard of the "3 R's", the most important things for students to learn.
Well, after nearly 20 years of homeschooling I am convinced that it is vital for homeschool moms to know what their "R's" are. As I prayed and thought this over it was clear to me that there are 5 areas that every homeschool mom needs to identify and establish.
These 5 areas are foundational. If they are each strong and solid you can build upon it.
- Build in yourself a relationship with Him. A relationship that is firmly rooted in and totally reliant upon God Almighty living in you.
- Build a marriage that will stand the test of time and storms of life.
- Build a home where the Lord reigns and your family and others are nourished by visiting.
- Build up and raise Godly children who plant and grow their own seeds. Build a relationship with God.
- Build a habit that will fill you up to overflowing. Discover what real rest is, why you must have it, where to find it, an how to get, it.
I will share all this with you and so much more.
Be refreshed, rekindled, refined, rejuvenated, and rested.
You won't be disappointed.

Each session Lorrie and Cindy began by sharing a message on a topic complimentary to the day's study. Each message is worth the class, but that is still not all. Also included is a time of "chat and get to know" other likeminded
What others are saying about the 5 R's
. All I can say is WOW! I am encouraged, inspired and challenged to develop my relationship with God and to grow deeper in His word. This is just from session one, I am so excited to be participating in a study with moms across the country who are wanting to be the moms, wives, homeschool teachers, friends, etc. that God has created us to be. I just can't wait for the next 4 sessions!
. What a blessing to have a like-minded Momma who is several steps ahead of me on the journey reach back and give me a hand up. This session was true "Titus 2" ministry!
Thanks! Heather
. Get your house in order! WOW!!! The 5R's for the Homeschool Mom will really help you get your life together. Starting with our personal quiet time with the Lord. The first session really hit home and reinforced the importance of our time personally with God. I can't wait to hear the next sessions. They are sure to be God inspired!
. I want to thank you for doing this series. I so appreciated the topics covered and the sweet spirit of you both. All I can say is..."wow...ouch...oh Lord here I come!!!"
