God is a creative being, full of creative power and ability. He created the universe and all that it holds with the words of His mouth and the power of His Spirit. When He made man, the Word tells us that we were made in His image and according to His likeness. Just like you [...]

Homeschooling is Teaching How to Learn, Not What
The homeschooling of my children has been the most rewarding journey of my calling as a teacher. It has allowed us to enjoy so much more family time, which I will never regret one bit. We have truly all learned and grown up together. For they have taught me some of the most valuable things [...]
Praise is the Expression of Faith!
If we are truly in faith, then we will leave the place of prayer with praise on our lips because we know we have our answer. Not because we see it with our natural eyes, but because we believe that when we prayed and released our faith that God heard us and we are confident [...]
Are You Sowing Seeds For a Harvest?

If you've sown seed, whether financially, materially, relationally or of your time, that seed went into the soil [...]

The wisdom of searching and waiting for an exceptional woman to become his bride and mother of his future children. Just how many [...]

This current homeschool year I created an electives course for my children called Marriage and Family. My children are a senior and sophomore and I knew it would be important to take an entire year to go slowly through God's plan for them for their future families and we've read great books that I've hand-selected [...]
Homeschooling Is Not About Academics, It’s About Discipleship
Homeschooling, to me, is not about academics, but about discipleship. My main goal in homeschooling my children has never been to produce college students. I do not believe in “teaching for the test” or in the meticulous “clocking of hours” of study. That would be just doing public school at home. Are there certain requirements [...]
Can Kids “Be Anything They Want to Be”?
As parents, we need to be careful not to fall into the common trap of encouraging our children that they can "be anything they want or do anything they want" when they grow up. While it sounds nice to say that, it's simply not true. They will be anointed to do what God has called [...]
