The State of the Legislature

Navigating the Capitol during this unique season we find ourselves in has been challenging on many levels. Fear dominates almost every interaction. A cloud of deep oppression hangs over the dome. Our liberties are being decimated while our lives are being micromanaged. Normal has morphed into something unrecognizable. We have willingly been led to this place of compliance because we have forgotten what it means to rise and stand (Psalm 20:7-8).

Remembering the End Goals: Hope for the Weary Homeschool Mom

By Guest Author Courtney Duncan

If you are anything like me, there are always certain seasons of the year when you feel a lack of motivation regarding your homeschool. An example is the beginning of the 2nd semester, with its loooong stretch to the end of the school year. The initial excitement over a new grade and/or new curriculum has faded, you have too much of the school year left to start getting excited about next year, and you may be wondering if you’ve even accomplished anything in the last several months (of course you have, but sometimes in a particular moment it can feel like you’ve made no progress at all or have even slipped backwards). Anyhow, if you can relate to any of what I’ve described above, I want to encourage you with a reminder to not lose sight of your goals and the ultimate end goal of homeschooling — God’s glory!

This can be especially true when it comes to giving and receiving love. In fact, to be transparently honest, it can be a real challenge for some of us parents to show our kids unconditional love day-in-and-day-out.
