Simply Living for Him

Whether you are a homeschooler, just thinking about it, or even a critic, today I will address the many issues that people ask regarding life after homeschool. Can they go to college? What about jobs? Can they function in the real world (ha!)? Join me as I share about my first two homeschool graduates and the very different, but "successful" paths they are taking. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/01/07/two-different-paths-life-after-homeschool-for-my-first-two-graduates-ep-202/

My grandmother always said, "You just never know..." when something unforeseen happened. And all I could hear was her voice in my head this morning as I read through my prayer journal from last year at this time, and was taken aback by the things I had prayed for. Some are non-issues at this point. They never even happened. Others were answered in ways I had never imagined. And some were completely upended by the pandemic. In December of 2019, I just had no idea when I wrote out my prayers for 2020 what would be in store. Let's talk about the lessons of 2020 and not knowing what was to come, and how that affects us and our perspective going into 2021.

Now that I have two grown children, I have learned some pretty significant lessons along the way on our homeschooling journey. The best lessons learned were never in a lesson plan book or even a textbook. I am so glad we focused on God and our family first as well as trusting God to lead us in all things. Whether you are a homeschooling family or just a peek into how we raised our family a bit differently, tune in and join me today! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2020/12/10/homeschooling-what-really-matters/

We all know that 2020 has been a year for the books. And many just want it to be over with because it seems like it was cursed. But what if we looked at things differently? What if we saw things the way the Lord wants us to see them? Join me today as we talk about changing our perspective on this very different year. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2020/12/03/2020-a-blessing-or-a-curse-ep-199/

Today I am sharing with you some lessons I have learned lately about letting go of trying to figure things out and trusting God for each moment. Life has sure thrown a ton of arrows at us lately, and it can be hard to not get caught up. Yet, He gives us our daily bread and no more. In a culture that isn't satisfied with "just enough" it's hard for us to grasp that idea, but that is what the Bible tells us we need. If you have fears about the future, or even about tomorrow, come listen in and be encouraged to take one step at a time, with Jesus. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2020/11/19/one-step-at-a-time-ep-198/

I sat down early this morning while watching the sunrise to record this podcast with the hopes of bringing you some encouragement during a crazy time of confusion. I simply want to point you back to Jesus. If our peace and order came from our circumstances we wouldn't have to depend on God. If you are feeling the effects of division and despair, tune in and be encouraged. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2020/11/06/peace-and-order-in-a-culture-of-confusion-ep-197/

In a world of Amazon Prime, Instant everything, and "on-demand" we are being conditioned that waiting is bad. Yet, we find in the Bible that God wants us to wait quite often...and wait on His timing. If we want to live simpler and less distracted lives, we can focus on Him and His timing. Patience is a fruit of the Spirit. So, if you find yourself wondering, "how much longer" in some area of your life, this one is for you! Be encouraged as you wait. It might be just where God wants you. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2020/10/30/learning-to-wait-in-an-on-demand-culture-ep-196/ Get my books: www.simplylivingforhim.com/books Join the community: www.simplylivingforihm.com/community

We are living in a very distracted world. Everything is screaming for our attention. But that's exactly what the enemy wants. Unless we are wholeheartedly seeking the Lord, we will end up distracted by so many other voices and things. Join me for this very important conversation and be encouraged in focusing on Jesus!
