ABC of Homeschooling - F for . . .


ABCs of Homeschooling


My word this week is Faithful or Faithfulness.

I chose faithfulness because, I think that parenting and homeschooling are no easy tasks, but we have to keep at it. We have to remain faithful to our calling as mothers.

We may fail at time and not do everything we wish or aspire to do, but even though God demands our all and and demands for us to do all things well, God requires mostly of us is faithfulness.

We were entrusted our children to take care of, to bring up and to train in righteousness, we must remain faithful to the task. No matter our difficult it is sometimes, no matter how discouraged we get sometimes, no matter the circumstances, this is our job and this is our joy. The Lord is pleased when we persevere and do our best faithfully day after day.

I know the Lord wants me to home educate the boys and I have to stay faithful. Homeschooling is certainly a calling, not just a personal choice or preference., and because of that we can't just give up. We need to keep the big picture in mind and remember who we are serving. Through faithfulness our character is built up and refined.

Our faithfulness can be an example to our children as well, of the blessings of remaining faithful in front of whatever comes our way.   If we know what it is we have to do and are convinced about it, there is nothing else to do than to stay faithful. God gives grace.

I want to be among the ones to whom Christ will say:

"Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord." Matt. 25:21


Let us not forget as well that our God is faithful to supply our needs at all time

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone,  and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as  Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation.  Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip ,  has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's story:   When
