Did you know I homeschool my 5 awesome kiddos? Crazy, huh?! My "why" might surprise you, or be different than what you expect to hear. I definitely felt like I did not fit the mold to homeschool my kids. Whatever that stereotype mold was. I felt ill-equipped, scared, and like I had all the wrong skill sets. But here we are, 4 years later and loving it. My goal is NOT to convince anyone to homeschool. I know it is NOT for everyone. I just love sharing my journey and encouraging anyone who wants to homeschool but feels ill-equipped or scared. I can relate 100%. But I am so thankful I did not let fear hold me back, and I hope you won't either.
Every human on the planet has the same amount of time; 24 hours a day. I recently heard a presentation on ways to optimize my schedule and time and it was SO helpful! Wouldn't it be helpful to know when your brain was most alert and when you're functioning at your best? Priorities must be set in order to give our best to what matters most. I hope this helps, it did for me!

God used a recent conversation with my 10 year old son to teach me about strength. We make assumptions about what strengths or weaknesses we have, by comparing ourself to someone else. We are robbed of the joy of seeing our unique gifts when we compare them to other people. We also rob others of being blessed by our strengths and abilities when we are distracted by the ugliness of comparison. As I was reminded from my sweet son, strength comes in many different forms. I pray you are able to recognize your own strengths (gifts) God has given you, and help others do the same.
Did I just say Moana changed my life? Yes I did. But in reality, God used a specific song & picture from Moana to really speak to me. I love how creative & personal God is. He knows us better than we know ourselves (I really love Disney and He definitely knows that). AND He wants to speak to us. I hope you're encouraged and inspired by my personal story to practice quiet listening to hear from God.
God chose to reveal Himself in an actual body. He came in human flesh. But for hundreds and thousands of years, our culture has gotten it wrong. Churches have gotten it wrong. There is so much shame and confusion around sexuality and body image. There is also so much hope. Francie shares with us the hope she has found through years of study, prayer, and research regarding what God says about our bodies. I know you will be encouraged. Simply put: God made all of you and all of you is good.
Please check our her resources & podcast, "Heaven In Your Home," where she shares incredible wisdom and gives practical steps to engage this important topic. https://franciewinslow.com
Overcompesating is a natural response to being hurt. But it is not the healthy response. We will usually end up more hurt than when we started.
