I have moved...

Hi everyone. Just popping in to let you know you can now find me at my new blog on WordPress. I have not been active here in a long while because I was in transition and setting things up over there. I don't know what the future of My Life 0utside the Box. I'm still trying to decide. Hope you join me in my new home.

Christian Homemaking

I have recently come across a lovely woman of God who is on YouTube. She shares her life as a wife, mother, and homemaker. At first, I didn't understand why she chose her profile name so I had to watch several videos to see why she calls herself the Unimportant Homemaker. I love finding women who don't shy away from embracing this lifestyle because we need more encouragement as we live this life unto the Lord.

  

She also blogs about her Old-Fashioned Homemaking if you like to read what she shares.

Here is a video of her talking about our God-given roles in the home. I am glad to hear that she's serious about training her daughter in her role whom she homeschools.

HS Encouragement- Hope in God

Today I am wrapping up this series on homeschooling. I pray you have been encouraged and eased in your heart and mind. I leave you with this Psalms as a reminder to find hope in God as you continue educating, training, and disciplining your children. May God be glorified!

Psalms 42:1-2 

¹ As the deer pants for the water brooks,

So pants my soul for You, O God.
² My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. 

Psalms 42:5

⁵ Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
For the help of His countenance. 

Psalms 42:11

¹¹ Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.

HS Encouragement- My grace is sufficient for thee

As this week comes to a close I pray today that you let God's word be your comfort and guide on this journey. Let's meditate on what God says in 

2 Corinthians 12:9 

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

HS Encouragement- Learn not the way of...

The best thing ever about home-educating our son is that we were free to teach him from a Biblical Worldview. No matter what we were learning, we could always discuss God's perspective about many things. 

Jeremiah 10:1-2

¹ Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:

² Thus saith the LORD,
Learn not the way of the heathen,
and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven;
for the heathen are dismayed at them.

Homeschool Encouragement- Fear not; I will help you

No matter how long we homeschooled our son we always needed encouragement during the journey. I know firsthand what it's like to worry, be uncertain, question, and at times doubt your decision to stay on the path once you've begun educating your child(ren). Thoughts like these come about for different reasons at different times from person to person. That's why I want to help assure you there is no mistake when God is calling you to the task of home education. I pray especially for those who are still new at this to find encouragement from those who have already been right where you are now. 

Throughout this week I plan to post something to encourage you in this journey. Today I want you to meditate on what God says in 

Isaiah 41:13

For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand,

saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
