"Entering His Gates"
One of the most common questions homeschool moms ask is "How do you find time for Quiet Time?" Are you too busy to pray? Prayer is the foundation stone of our relationship with God, of our homeschools, and of the utmost importance. Let's look at why it is so vital, ways to fit it in, and waiting upon Him. With your desire and these prayer ideas you can make it work. Prayer took preference over many other important things for Jesus... let it be that way for you!

"From Desert to Dessert"
Why does God allow dry times in our lives and homeschools? Desert times are testing times when God allows our experiences to humble us, causing us to hunger. Have you passed your test? Through testing, God teaches us things that we might not learn if we weren't in the desert. He wants total reliance upon Him. God wants to pour His grace out on us and when this happens our homeschooling as well as every area of our lives becomes richer. Join us as we talk about moving out of the desert and into the dessert!

Train your young children to diligently obey and one day you will have a child who, after being told once to complete an assignment, will diligently set out to perform the assignment to the best of his abilities. Sound like a dream?

"Doing Enough and Fortifying the Foundation"
