This year has not gone according to plan, or shall I say, according to our homeschool plan. But perhaps it has gone just how God has planned. He has been near and life has been our best teacher. If you're in a place where you feel like you've failed or the year hasn't gone according to plan- whether you are a homeschooler or not- come listen and be encouraged that when things seem to fall apart, God redeems and puts them back together.

This week I realized enough is enough. Come and listen to this HUGE realization I had in the midst of dealing with some personal issues. Also, I mentioned at the beginning of the episode that I was going to talk about our school year and the challenges we faced this year, but I ran out of time...so that will be another episode!

It's been a whirlwind lately. Join me to hear all that is going on with family, farm life, and my faith. Then we will talk about finishing it all well. This time of year, I am always looking ahead to the next homeschool year saying, "I'm done with this year. But NEXT year will be the year where I finally get it together. Next year will be our best year." Ha. That perfect year never came after 16 years of homeschooling. Life is full of changes and challenges and we must live in the present and finish well, and not look ahead waiting for better times. Join me today as I encourage you to finish well in whatever season you are in.

Join me today as we talk about what it's been like to homeschool for almost 17 years, and launch two into adulthood. Every season of parenting has its ups and downs, but each is so beautiful in its own way. Most importantly, don't get caught up listening to the voices in the world that you miss out on hearing God's voice on this journey.

Let's talk about a sensitive topic. We all know those people- the ones who always "one-up" others. They always seem to have done it better. Or have more. They always try to outdo you. Or maybe you've done it. Point the conversation back to yourself. Competing a little bit on the inside. Comparing. Today we are digging into Romans 12:9- 10, where it tells us to really love others genuinely and to "outdo" one another by honoring them. We are going to look at others in a whole new light and understand how to truly love others. The outcome will be a lot less mental drama and, instead, real relationships with others as God intended them to be.

When our lives begin to swirl out of control from chaos and clutter, we often want to just throw in the towel. We get paralyzed with stuff, and we end up doing nothing. Today I am sharing a time when I wanted to give up (well, several actually!) and what God did to show me I was focused on the wrong things. I believe this will automatically simplify your life, and help you to find peace in this often chaotic world. Make sure to listen all the way to the end for some encouragement and focus before you throw in the towel!

Today I have a special guest! My hubby and I decided to sit down and do an impromptu episode, but things did get a bit serious, as we talked about life around here the past two years, letting your daughter leave home and get married from a dad's perspective, and seeing how we handle things QUITE differently, yet God leads us in all. Join us for fun, laughs, and some (almost) tears!

I encourage you to reflect on the year behind and what God has allowed in your life- the good, the bad, and the ugly. And move forward in 2022, knowing the One who holds the stars in the sky, is walking with you into a new year. And listen in to hear my biggest prayer for 2022.

I have heard from many ladies lately that friendships have been a struggle. Add in a pandemic and it gets even harder. We all struggle at times with loneliness, comparison, and even a bit of drama. But, women that are following the Lord together, keeping God at the center of their friendship, and building one another are beautiful to behold. We aren't supposed to look like the world, but women of God. Listen in and be encouraged to cultivate God-honoring relationships in your life! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/12/15/friendships-the-good-and-the-hard/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/support

It's too easy in the age of the Internet to take your eyes off of Jesus and onto others. We compare our lives to others and before we know it, we have wasted time trying to live a life we weren't called to live. God wants you to follow His plan and purpose for YOUR life and to glorify HIM in it! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/12/10/stop-living-someone-elses-life --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/support

Before you get caught up in the gifts, shopping, decorating, parties, and ALL the stuff, remember: This year's must-haves are next year's garage sale items. If you want to keep clutter out of your Christmas, I am giving you a Scripture today to keep you grounded! Listen in and be encouraged to have a meaningful Christmas with a focus on Jesus! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/12/01/keeping-clutter-out-of-christmas/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/support

With the holiday season approaching it’s easy to get caught up in what the world shows us hospitality should look like. But there is a big difference between entertaining and hospitality. One focuses on “look what I can do!” The other focuses on “what can I do for you? “ People will remember how they feel in your home far more than your decor or perfect recipes. Let’s discuss how we can share Jesus with those who enter our doors! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/11/20/entertaining-vs-hospitality-what-matters-most/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/simplylivingforhim/support
