Desiring and Delighting in God

Sep 26th, 2006 | By Stephanie | Category: Prepare your heart

It is Good to Thirst is a great word over at challies.com. I have just purchased the book “Desiring God” by John Piper partly due to the reviews through the challies and the discerningreader.com site. At first, I was puzzled at why so many seemed to be recomending this book as one of their favorites. [...]



Carnival of Homeschooling

Sep 26th, 2006 | By Stephanie | Category: Misc

The 39th Carnival of Homeschooling is up at Palm Tree Pundit.
If you have time to surf, the Carnival can be informative and encouraging.
I’m surfing while listening to Chris Tomlin’s new CD “See the Morning”



great gift ideas

Sep 20th, 2006 | By Stephanie | Category: Misc

Anna-Marie has posted on her blog about a wonderful idea–go there to read the details. What a wonderful way to pass on a Christian heritage to your children!
And this would work great for the ESV Journaling Bible I just got. Although, I would probably order it in leather for a gift.



Lies homeschooling moms believe

Sep 19th, 2006 | By Stephanie | Category: Misc

The kids and I are finishing Genesis 3 and we’ve been talking about “the author of lies.”
Well, Kendra recommends a new book about lies homeschooling moms believe.
And just in case you think I have it all together: my house is a mess and my kids will be eating frozen pizza for dinner tonight!



Scheduling

Sep 15th, 2006 | By Stephanie | Category: Organization

The dreaded “S” word…to me and the kids, anyway! God has been showing me that I need to be more disciplined in my life. (Kind of like when you pray for patience …not exactly fun) Unfortunately I have a son who is very much like me and it has been quite a challenge [...]

I love using del.icio.us for saving internet bookmarks. You really should check it out. And you can even share your bookmarks which is awesome! In the sidebar you can click to see my del.icio.us bookmarks. Looking for some history links, bible study sites, how about a place to make a word search…you can find some [...]



Willing to Be Weak

Sep 8th, 2006 | By Stephanie | Category: Prepare your heart

I have three CD’s from Charles Billingsley. Most of his songs are sung to God as opposed to songs about God, which I love. When thinking about discouragement earlier, God brought to mind his song, “Willing to Be Weak.” When we are weak, then we can see God’s strength like never before. When we get [...]



Keep pressing on

Sep 7th, 2006 | By Stephanie | Category: Prepare your heart

Starting a new school year comes with lots of excitement and planning…and then it starts…and things don’t go the way we envision. Discouragement comes to all of us…life happens…there is no perfect day. But I don’t believe that discouragement and fear come from God. The enemy does not want us to succeed. We need to [...]
