September 24, 2024Homeschooling on the Vine SURVEY - What would you like to hear on the podcast this year? I would love to hear from you! Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete this quick survey.
----------I've been thinking recently about the reality of our homeschool days and the frustrations we often face. We feel frustrated when the day doesn't go like we want, but we face an even deeper frustration when we (the moms!) don't act and speak like we want. How can we get to a place where our homeschool days are fruitful and productive? Let's look at how staying attached to Jesus as the True Vine can be reality in our daily lives.QUESTIONS to consider:1. Jesus, am I bearing fruit?2. Jesus, am I abiding in You?3. Jesus, am I obeying You?4. Jesus, am I abiding in Your love?TODAY'S ONE STEP: Choose your one step:1. Search John 15:1-11. Can you find the verses that inspired these questions?2. Ask yourself these questions and choose one to focus on today as you choose to abide in Jesus.-----------Scripture in today's episode:John 15:1-11----------Looking for more homeschool encouragement?Find my BOOK on Amazon: The Restful Homeschool Resolution: 21 Days to Transform Your Homeschool

----------Welcome back, homeschool mommas!Once upon a time, the day after Labor Day was the first day of school. Not anymore. If you're like me, you have already been in school for weeks. Perhaps you're already weary and wondering how you will make it through the year.Even this early in the year, we know that we are not enough for our homeschools. We need help from someone greater than ourselves. We need Jesus."From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I." - Psalm 61:2 (NASB)We need a Rock: a Rock of STABILITY, a Rock of REFUGE, a Rock of PERSPECTIVE. But what does this look like in the life of a homeschool mom?Before we get to that questions, I want to give you some updates. First, I'll share a personal update of our family life this summer, including several near-catastrophes during our trip to Yellowship. Then, I'll share an update on the podcast, including why I thought I might close it just a month ago.As we start Season 4 of the Rest in the Homeschool Trench podcast, I'm filled with more vision than ever.
