More Than Survival

By Cindy Nabb I ran into a old school friend of mine the other day in the parking lot after shopping with my daughter. We stood and chatted for a while and inevitably the questions come up; "How many kids do you have now?" And, "Wow, you have six, what are their ages? Oh, so how many are in school, then?" Then she found out that we homeschool. In my experience, this either intrigues p...

Unlocking the Brain

By Cindy Nabb Recently, my husband and I had the luxury of going to this years homeschool conference in our town and, much to my delight, it was an answer to prayer. We have one little guy that has always been what I call a hands-on learner. Traditional methods are hard for him. Sitting down to a workbook is not his cup of tea and would only frustrate him and me. We know he is an ...

“It’s Your Potty, You Can Try If You Want To!”

By Cindy Nabb One thing I detest is potty training. I love having it done but the process...UGH! Until now. I was lamenting to a girlfriend of mine about how I feel about potty training and she said she hated it to but she found this e-book called 3-day potty training by Lora Jensen and how helpful it was.

Where Should I Start?

Ever have those days when nothing seems to go the way you want them to? Yeah? Me too! What really bothers me is that I had a plan, ya know. I knew exactly what needed to get done and how I was going to accomplish it. I knew what order I was going to do these tasks and the precise amount of time it should have taken me to get them done. Then…reality set in. The kids came flying through the door with mud on their shoes, on their jeans and in their hair? Everyone was fighting and somebody smelled. So I had to address these issues which, of course, set all my plans into a tizzy.

My plans aren’t always God’s plans for my day. I didn’t take the time that morning to surrender my day to Him and have His will reign over my time. He knows what needs to get done better than I, what order they need to be done in and how much time they should take. So much better is His plan, if only, if only I would get myself out of the way, I could see it.

Tomorrow will be different. I will start my day where I should, on my knees, asking My Lord to reign over my schedule. Asking Him to be Lord of my life and my days, and when the day is done, I can see all that I accomplished, even if nothing is checked off of my list. His list is so much more important.

Ephesians 6:18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.
