Preparing My Children for LIFE!

This past week I have spent some time doing some reading and praying. My oldest (daughter) turned 13 last Friday! I can't believe how time flies! As I look at the time that I have left with her at home, I want to make the most it. It is so tempting to follow the ways of the world...to just look at all the "credits" she should have and then plan a bunch of stuff that doesn't really relate to her interests or her giftings/talents.

So...I decided to take some time to go back and read over Barb Shelton's book, Senior High: A Home-Designed Form-U-La. Again, God is using Barb to point me to Jesus..the only One who can give me direction in this path of homeschooling my children. I also recently purchased Cindy Rushton's ebook, High School: Yes! It CAN Be Easy Too! It also has been refreshing and encouraging me to look to Him for guidance.

I don't know what the next few years will hold for us, but it is in His hands. I know that He will guide us as we desire to prepare our children for a LIFE that will please Him.

Where are you? Are you fearing men...fearing all the "requirements" set forth by this world? Or are you fearing the Lord and walking in obedience to *HIS* Way? These questions I have asked myself....how about you? Where are you at? Jesus said, "Come to me...." It is that simple. He is waiting.

Jesus, I come.....

About Me

I would like to encourage parents as they follow the path the Lord has set before them - which includes discipling their children, keeping a home, building relationships, and much more. I would also like to let others know about ebooks we are offering, as well as other resources that will encourage and equip parents to fulfill the challenge by the Lord set forth in Deut. 6:7.
