It's that time again ~Fall Time~

It's that awesome time of the year again! Time for Pumpkin everything, hayrides, snuggling by the bonfire with the hubby and kids, and holidays with family! Of course every year we also have the awesome FALL Challenge where alot of bloggers link up with Courtney over at www.womenlivingwell.org and make our homes a haven that is peaceful and inviting. You can read more about the challenge here and have a chance to win an Ipad mini.

You don't want to miss out on this challenge, I'll be posting here and also linking up Courtney's post where you can find others who are joining in. Be sure and come back each Monday in October and see what we are doing next! I don't know about you but Fall is my favorite time of the year and I love to decorate my home in fall decor and spend time with the family. 

What is your favorite thing about Fall? Are you going to be joining in the challenge? What are somethings that God has been working on you to do this Fall? Can I help you pray about anything?

Homeschooling - What are your thoughts?

So today I am asking all my readers for your opinions and advice on homeschooling.

 The reason for this post is because I really don't feel that our local public school really teaches what the kids really need to know. My four year old nephew has been in preschool a little over a month and doesn't know any more than when he started besides what I teach him at home. It honestly disturbs me to the point that I'm ready to take him out and start homeschooling today! 

I have talked to a few parents at my church who use the A Beka Academy curriculum and they love it. They say that it really teaches more than regular school. Also I know people who have been using online resources to teach their children, I really just want some advice on homeschooling. Is it effective? What do you use?  

I personally feel it will be better on him spiritually and also mentally. He won't be in a bad environment but a Godly one. He's had plenty of bad environments in his past homes before he came to me. Please tell me what you think of homeschooling and how it has affected your children or children you know. Thanks in advance.

Make a difference in the lives around you!

Today is Monday, A new beginning to a brand new week, a new week to accomplish something different. 

My morning began with studying God's Word and pondering what He wants me to do for Him this week. My duties as a wife will be done and my everyday things will be taken care of but at the end of the day what I accomplished for Him will be what matters most. How did I show others His love and compassion? Did I say things that were encouraging and uplifting?

Sometimes we get so busy with life that we forget why God created us and that is to love one another as He loves us and to show His love to those that do not know Him. I want to challenge you all this week to do something a little bit different and really reach out to those you see and show them God's love and compassion because you never know what a difference you can make in someone's life who just might be struggling and need a little encouragement to help them along the way.

How will you make a difference this week? What are somethings you have done in the past to help those around you? What would you tell someone who is going through a tough time right now? 


Be Blessed,
