FINDING YOUR TRIBE: The Importance of community in self-discovery
Finding Your Tribe â The Importance of Community in Self-Discovery When my husband and I first began homeschooling their eldest daughter, she was a bright, strong-willed second grader who thrived in social settings.

The Watchful Eyes of Children: The Impact of Exemplary Living
Homeschooling has provided a valuable perspective for me on both the strengths and areas for growth in my children, revealing how some traits reflect my own.

Believing God is GoodâŠNo Matter What
Scripture of the DayLuke 11:34 AMP â âThe eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is clear [spiritually perceptive, focused on God], your whole body also is full of light [benefiting from Godâs precepts].

CONFESSIONS OF A DARK-SKINNED WOMAN
Beauty Is More Than Skin Deep There she stood, Jadis, amidst a sea of porcelain-skinned models on a glitzy runway backdrop. She was a stunning ebony-skinned woman in a world where beauty standards had often dismissed shades like hers. As camera flashes lit up the venue, she could feel a thousand eyes on her, making her second-guess her place there. But then she remembered what the good bookâŠ

Building Strong Sibling Bonds
It was a winter night, the kind that gets dark too early and stays cold too long. I peeked into the kidsâ room, expecting the usual scene of toys scattered around and an argument about who gets to play with what. Instead, she saw her eldest, 16-year-old Sanai, enveloped in a sea of blankets, narrating tales of adventures to her younger siblings, their eyes wide with wonder. Their usualâŠ

Godly Discernment in the Digital Age
Amber, a mother of two, felt her heart race as she passed by her teenage sonâs room. The glow of his computer screen illuminated his face in the dimness. She remembered the late-night conversations they had, his talks of friends heâd made online, the games they played, and the content they shared. She once found herself asking, âWho are these unseen companions influencing my child?â Youâd think,âŠ

Chasing Failure
How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? CHASING FAILURE seems to be the best way to describe the effort necessary for success. We, as a family, completed this 7-day devotional titled âChasing Failure,â and it was a great reminder of how to emphasize effort over results. As a Christian who believes that the beginning of knowledge begins with a humble submission toâŠ

Demonstrating Responsibility through Accountability in the Homeschool Journey
Demonstrating Responsibility through Accountability in the Homeschool Journey
As a parent of four magnificent children, this is something I wish I would have known when I began our homeschool journey some 10+ years ago. The thought of using accountability to create responsibility may be something we naturally do as parents, but we can have a greater impact with intentional goal-setting in this area. According to the Bible, everyone is accountable to God and someâŠ
