Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding. Proverbs 3:13
One thing I hear a lot when people find out we home-school is that they don't know how we could afford it. Between curriculum, supplies, and me being home rather than having a second income the math just doesn't seem to add up. Well, let me be honest. Yes, home-school can become expensive. But… Continue reading My Top 10 Home-school Must Haves
Cleaning. It's like the adult version of "The Neverending Story" isn't it. You can spend hours cleaning a particular room of your house and then just a few short days (or minutes in my case in a home with three young children) it just has to be done all over again. And then, while you… Continue reading Creating a Cleaning Schedule that Works
I love the beginning of a new month. Truth be told, I actually like Mondays for the same reason. I love the idea of a blank slate. A fresh start.

All of the things that have taken place I have been on… Continue reading Lessons from 1 Kings (sorta)
Half way through week two on the study of 1 Kings. I will be honest here and admit that there is a lot happening in the pages of this book that I never really took the time to pick up on as I went through my Old Testament classes during both college and Seminary. It… Continue reading Building: 1 Kings 7 & 8
Happy Tuesday! Can you believe we are already into the 2nd week of April? Where on earth does the time go. That old saying "The days are long but the years are short" really rings true most of the time. And because we in the 2nd week of April that also means we are starting… Continue reading Turmoil or Rest: 1 Kings 5 & 6
Welcome back! Chapter 4 Summary In chapter 3 we read all about how Solomon used his one opportunity to ask God for anything he could possibly want to gain the wisdom he knew would be necessary to successfully rule the Kingdom God had given him. This simple request so pleased God that not only did… Continue reading 1 Kings Chapter 4
One of the areas that I really decided I needed to take some time to develop and focus for 2019 is my Spiritual Disciplines. This includes things like Bible reading, prayer, and Scripture memory.
