A long time ago, I shared many posts based on reading books that John Maxwell has written. My husband and I used to listen to the books in the car, and I enjoyed the chapters so much that I bought the books.

The books are based on imagining yourself either running a race in a stadium or taking a walk and meeting different Biblical characters. They run a lap with you and share wisdom with you.

I finished the Running with the Giants book, but never finished the other two books that I bought. I thought I would go back and finish those books. This week, we will pick back up with Hannah from Wisdom from Women in the Bible.

What I enjoy from Maxwell’s books are his simple lessons that he draws out from the life of Biblical characters.

Here are some of the lessons we can can learn from Hannah’s life. Some are from the chapter on Hannah and some are from my own thoughts.

God doesn’t need us to make desperate promises for us to get what we want.

We cannot bribe God. He knows what is truly best for our lives. He answers our prayers in the way He sees best for His glory and for our good.

Even though He did answer Hannah’s request because He cared for her, He saw her heart, and He knew His will concerning Samuel’s life, He did not answer because Hannah bribed him with the offer of her son.

We can come to God with our desperate prayers, but our desperate promises will not sway Him to make a different decision from His preordained will for our lives. In our desperation, we come to Him because He is the first One we come to when we are worried. We come to Him because He is our Abba, Father. We come to Him because we love him, and He loves us. We come to Him because He tells us to come to Him.

And when we do, He hears.

We have to truly believe that He is sovereign and that He is always good. He is our Heavenly Father and will only give us what is best for us.

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Matthew 7:11

We do not pray so that we can feel a sense of relief or as a means of release.

Prayer is interaction with the Living God of the universe, the Author of all things!

John Maxwell
God desires us to pray -- to interact with Him although He is Almighty, the Creator, and our Savior!

We do not pray to make ourselves feel better. We pray because we have a relationship with the Almighty God who loves us and cares for us. He desires us to commune with Him, and we should desire to talk to Him. Prayer should have nothing to do with making us feel better.

“That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.” 1 John 1:3

You can never out-give God.

We have heard this many times, but in Hannah’s case, it may have felt like she was giving up everything that God had given her. She promised that if God would give her a boy, she would give him back to the Lord. And she did. She brought Samuel to Eli once Samuel was weaned. Her heart had to feel like it was being torn out. But she made a promise, and she kept it.

We find out in the next chapter of the Bible that she had five more children after she gave Samuel back to God (2 Samuel 2:21). God blessed her obedience with many more children. Her weeping was turned to joy.

Few things in this life return as much joy as cheerful obedience to God.

John Maxwell

For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Psalm 84:11

Psalm 84:11 -- No good thing will God withhold from those who walk uprightly.

Never underestimate God.

Hannah did not know that God would give her 5 more children after she kept her promise to God. She was filled with joy with the gift of Samuel. Yet God did abundantly more than she could ask or think. And when He did, He got all the glory.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21

Remember to give God the glory when He answers your prayers.

Look at Hannah’s prayer of praise after Samuel was born:

And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. 1 Samuel 2:1-2

The praise of God continues for 8 more verses! We desire to have our prayers answered so that God’s name can be exalted and glorified!

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. John 14:13

God will bless your obedience to bless those who come after you.

Your example of obedience will be one that your children will follow. Samuel was an obedient priest who led the Israelite nation at a time when many of the people were wicked. I’m sure seeing the obedience and godliness of his mother was a major factor in his obedience.

If you’re a mother or father, you need to understand that your child could be the next Samuel. You have no idea what God may do with your children. So raise them well. Train them up in the way they should go. And release them to fulfill their God-given purpose when the time comes.

John Maxwell
God has great things planned for our kids. We need to train them in the way they should go so that He can use them to fulfill His purposes.

Thoughtful Thursdays: O Give Thanks Unto the Lord

Currently, I’m doing an inductive Bible study through Psalm 118. I always love studying the Bible using an inductive Bible study, and Pam Forster with Mama’s Refill does an excellent job guiding people through how to do an inductive Bible study. It is in a subscription site, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the studies I have done.

 Martin Luther claimed Psalm 118 as his favorite psalm. He said:

“This is my psalm, my chosen psalm,” he said. “I love them all; I love all Holy Scripture, which is my consolation and my life. But this psalm is nearest my heart . . . It is my friend; dearer to me than all the honors and power of the earth.”

Martin Luther

What I love about this psalm is how it starts and ends — it starts and ends with the same verse:

O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.

We can thank God for His steadfast love towards us which is demonstrated in many different ways, most of all by His Son's death on the cross.

Many versions translate the word mercy as steadfast love. In between the first and last verses of chapter 118, the psalmist describes different ways that God has demonstrated His steadfast love:

  • God answered him when he was in distress (v. 5)
  • God heard him when he was in distress (v. 5)
  • God set him in a large place, or set him free (v. 5)
  • God was on his side. (v. 6)
  • He did not need to fear what man could do unto him, because God was on his side. (v. 6)
  • God was his helper (v. 7)
  • He could trust God. (v. 8) God was his refuge or safety.
  • The Lord gave him the victory over his enemies. (vv. 10-13)
  • The Lord was his strength. (v. 14)
  • The Lord was his defense. (v. 14)
  • The Lord was his salvation. (v. 14)
  • The Lord fought for him and was victorious. (v. 15-16)
  • Even when he received discipline from the Lord, the Lord kept him alive. (v. 18)
  • God had given him every day — he could rejoice in each day. (v. 23)
  • God made His light to shine on the psalmist. (v. 27)
  • God was His God — and thus the psalmist praised Him. (v. 28)

In the study I did today, Pam Forster asked the question, “What evidences of God’s steadfast love in your life can you praise Him for right now?”

I could list many things I could be thankful for — to praise Him for. I could praise Him for His leadership and for His direction. I could praise Him for His saving me, for my health, for my wealth, for my family, and so much more.

Even if I am having a down day where nothing seems to be going right, I can praise God for the same thing the psalmist did in Psalm 118: for God’s steadfast love, for His hearing me, for His salvation, for His steadfast love, for His being on my side, and for His strength.

The inductive Bible study also encouraged us to recount God’s deeds in our lives. It said, “The psalmist gives thanks to the Lord by recounting His deeds (verse 17). Would you like to recount His deeds in your life?”

Again, His salvation, the way that I was born into a Christian home, how He lead me to my husband and gave us 5 children, how He has protected us from harm, how He has given us good health, how He has provided for our needs — and our wants — and so many more things He has done for me. The list could go on and on. Every day we should recount His deeds — remember all the wonderful works He has done in our lives.

One way we can remember to thank God for all He has done for us is to start and stop our day just like the psalmist did at the beginning and end of the chapter. If we begin and our day saying, “O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever,” then we will have the habit of always be thankful and remembering all that God has done for us.

I know I want to be like the psalmist. I want to always be giving thanks unto the Lord for His steadfast love towards me and because He is good. How about you? Are you thankful to God for His mercy towards you? Have you recounted His deeds towards you lately?

Changes — they happen all the time.

The older I get, the more I feel like there is no “normal.” Every day seems to bring a new change — and 2020 has been a doozy of a year for changes.

Not all change is bad — in fact, most change is good.

A week ago, we drove my daughter to be a freshman on-campus student at a Christian college. We are so excited to see what God will do with her.

This week, my parents drive to live by us in Florida. They are leaving their friends of almost 40 years to live by us. Talk about changes for them! We are thrilled to have our parents close by.

These are two huge changes in one week. Through all these changes, we know that God loves us and wants the best for us. We know He can direct our paths. We can trust Him!

Proverbs 3:5-6: Verses that help us to remember to trust in God's guidance and leading.

Since this is such a crazy busy week for me, and because I haven’t shared favorite posts in 3 months, I thought I would share some of my favorite posts that have been linked up to our Thoughtful Thursday’s linky parties:

If you have read my posts for years, you know that my oldest is going off to college — tomorrow. When I started blogging, she was in 4th grade, and my youngest was only one years old. It’s unreal how fast time goes.

I had no clue then that we would move away from our large church with huge Christian school and go to a much smaller ministry that has a school of 8 children this year. I literally teach a one-room schoolhouse that has 7 grade levels.

This year, I have two 8th graders doing Physical Science, extra Mystery of History papers, and Progeny Press’s literature e-guides, and I have one 10th grader doing Chemistry and Sonlight’s 20th Century World History, Liturature, and Bible. Of course they have other subjects they are doing, but those subjects have assignments that are in notebooks or on their computers that I have to grade.

It was becoming overwhelming for me to remember which subjects I had to go to their desks and grade their work. All of the other students turn in their work, and so it’s easy to remember to grade all their subjects. I decided to stream-line it and make up grading forms. These grading sheets will stay in a folder that I pull out on the weekend and fill in. This makes it easy for me to remember what I need to grade.

Maybe some of these forms you can use yourself. I think you might be able to edit your own copy if you “Make a copy” of it and then edit your copy. (Find the “Make a copy” tab under the “File” tab on Google Docs.

Here are some grading sheets I made for this year (so far):

Free grading forms for Mystery of History, Sonlight, Progeny Press, and Apologia/Berean Builders Science!
  • Sonlight Grading Form — this is a four page document, one page for each quarter. I have a space for a grade for literature, history, maps, and verses. If you only grade some items, then you wouldn’t have to use all four of the columns.
  • Apologia Physical Science Grading Form — this is a 2 page document. Each page covers one semester (1/2 of the book). It could also be used for General Science, although the labs wouldn’t line up exactly.
  • Berean Builders or Apologia Chemistry Grading Form — this could be used for any Apologia or Berean Builder Science class.
  • Progeny Press Grading Form — I put 12 lines under the chapters/sections column. Some of the Progeny Press guides I have do have 12 sections of chapters, but some have less. Then most guides have an overview section and the guides for upper grades have an essay section. If you don’t need those rows, they can be crossed out or not used. Here is a grading form I made for Eagle of the Ninth.
  • Here is the Mystery of History Grading Sheet I made up. I grade the folders of Middle School every week as they have an additional daily paper to do. There is one sheet for each quarter.
  • Here is also a Book Review form I made for my 10th grader to fill out for some of the supplemental books she is reading for Sonlight. Again, to change it, “make a copy” of it, and then you hopefully can type on or edit your copy.
Free book review printable! My daughter is filling these out for some of the books she is reading for Sonlight curriculum.

Coming later!

  • We are using Apologia’s book Who is God? for 4th-8th grade Bible. I will share the study guides I am making at a later time.
  • I also have study sheets and some supplemental pages for Mystery of History I will share later.

Thoughtful Thursdays: Advice for the New Homeschooling Parents

In this chaotic, crazy year, we have many first-time homeschool parents.

It can be scary. It can be overwhelming. There will be days that you feel like a failure, like you have no idea of what you should be doing, or like giving up. On those hard days, here is just a few things that might help.

Here’s some advice for the new homeschooling parents:

  • Don’t compare yourself to other homeschool families.

I saw one new homeschooling mom ask to see other homeschool spaces and she shared her one bookshelf — they live in a small apartment with 4 kids. Some people are able to see other people’s spaces and be encouraged when other people who offer kind comments; but others may be discouraged when they see big homeschool rooms and color coordinated bins.

When you feel yourself tempted to compare yourself to others, remember God has given you everything you need to help your child learn and grow.

God will provide all your needs.
  • Be encouraged! If God has directed you to homeschool your kids, He will enable you!

He has given His believers the Holy Spirit and His Word. He has seen fit to place your kids under your care, so He will enable you to do what you need to do.

God will give you what you need to do what He wants you to do -- 2 Corinthians 9:8
  • Figure out your priorities and focus on them.

There are tons of curriculums and so many things you can teach — but you can’t teach them all. What you think is most important may be different than what I think is most important; however, there are some things every child should learn.

In the primary grades, learning how to read well, learning how to write, and learning math facts are most important. If you don’t have a lot of time, then History and Science can slide for a little bit.

Character training and teaching about God should be a priority. One wonderful fact about homeschooling is that you are able to train them daily in the way they should go. You are with them all day, so you are able to put Deuteronomy 6 into practice:

We should actively be teaching our children of the Lord -- everywhere we go. Deuteronomy 6:5
  • When you feel alone or discouraged, remember God is always with you.
God is with us at all time! Joshua 1:9
  • Just take it one day at a time. God will help you each day. Always seek His will and His kingdom more than anything else.
We don't need to worry about life's details-- God will take care of us; we just need to seek His kingdom first.

There are so many other helpful hints that might be excellent, but if you just keep God first and rely on, then you will do just fine!

Thoughtful Thursdays: Jehovah-Shammah: The Lord is There, Part 3

This post may contain affiliate links. If you purchase those items through my links I will earn a commission. You will not pay more when buying a product through my link. Go HERE for more disclaimers.

By Leave a Comment

We ended the 2nd post on the name of God, Jehovah-shammah, The Lord is There, with the question, “How can a Christian keep from being imprisoned by the world? How can we keep our vision and not lose hope?”

Jehovah-Shammah: The Lord is There! Be Encouraged!

The quote that preceded that question was from Kay Arthur’s book, Lord I Want to Know You. Here is the quote:

We need a future and a hope! For the most part, our world lives for today. “Give it to me now!” The future seems so uncertain, so hopeless to most people that they have lost their vision. Most live for only their immediate happiness. . .

Most Christians live this way. They have lost sight of the blessed hope, the glory of being absent from the body and at home with the Lord. They do not look to the time when they will reign with Jesus on earth (Daniel 7:27). They have lost their will to fight because they have forgotten that their citizenship is in heaven” (Philippians 3:20).

They have sat down at the world’s banquet table and glutted themselves with the things of this life. They have little interest in the glories of heaven. They can see and touch and taste and experience “now,” but they cant fathom the glories that are yet to come. Many Christians have become prisoners who will not try to escape. Thus, they are no threat to the world which holds them captive.

Kay Arthur, LORD, I Want to Know You

How can we practically keep our vision and not lose hope in this crazy world? How do we keep our focus on the world that is to come — where we will forever live with Jehovah-shammah, The Lord is There?

Here are 6 ways we can apply this name of God to our every day lives — and keep our focus on where God is: Heaven, our forever home.

  1. We can take comfort in knowing that although God is in Heaven, His presence is not limited or contained in the Tabernacle or Temple, but is accessible to all who love and obey Him.
  2. As Christians now, we are the temple of God. Even when we are separated from worshiping with other believers because of illness or other reasons, we still have the Holy Spirit always with us. The Jews in Ezekiel’s time were in captivity and separated from the temple where the presence of God resided– but we always have the Holy Spirit with us if we have accepted Christ as our Savior.
    Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” I Corinthians 3:16
  3. God’s presence goes with us. It feels what we feel and takes us through every situation.
    “And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” 2 Corinthians 6:16
  4. God fellowships with His people wherever they are. He fellowshipped with Adam and Eve in the garden, with the Israelites in the wilderness (pillar of cloud and pillar of fire and later the Tabernacle), with the Israelites in the beautiful temple Solomon built and later in the crude temple of Zerubbabel’s time, and now our bodies our His temple. He fellowships with us anywhere we are as not only is “God is there,” but “God is HERE!”
    Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrews 13:5
  5. This name reminds us in our darkest hour that God is with us. When you are feeling abandoned and hopeless, address Him as Jehovah Shammah.
    Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.  I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. Psalm 139:7-12
  6. God wants to manifest His presence in the world through His people. And we should want others to know! We want others to be in Heaven with us. Tell others the glorious hope they can have of being with the Lord forever — Jehovah-shammah: The Lord is There!
    As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. John 17:18-22

Here are a few other references that talk about God being here (or there) or where we can see Jesus as our Jehovah-shammah.

  • All of Psalm 46

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

  • Matthew 28:20

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

  • Matthew 1:23

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us

  • Revelation 21:1-3

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Thoughtful Thursdays: How to Make Homeschooling Fun

Come link up your thoughtful posts to Thoughtful Thursdays linky party!

Last week, I shared some of what I do to be prepared to teach multiple ages.

Organization for yourself and your materials is key!

I spent the last couple weeks getting my printables ready. I teach Mystery of History and I started printing off different fill-in-the blank worksheets and the maps and quizzes for each lesson. I also get Berean science notebooks and Bible (Who is God?) worksheets ready. Only five children are doing those subjects. I copied the vocab for 4 students and set up our classroom.

Organization for your children is essential!

Each week, I give the children a schedule. That way they know what they have to do every day. Some of the kids watch a couple of videos. Here is what their schedules look like:

Schedules for homeschooling

The top picture was a schedule for a 1st grader. The bottom one was for a 7th grader. The highlighted yellow shows what needs to be turned in to be checked. Some of the other subjects I did with them and I check right away, so they were not highlighted. The yellow reminded them to turn those subjects in to me, and I also could look back and see what needed to be turned in if she forgot. (We would check off all the yellow items as we checked them.)

The green highlighted items were tests or graded items. This reminded the kids that they needed to study the night before for those subjects and also reminded to administer those tests.

They did not always stick with the times on the side. When they were doing their independent work, they could do whatever subject they wanted first. The times were more for me to make sure I could get all of my teaching done as I was teaching so many kids different subjects.

Be creative and make learning fun!

I have to admit that I am not the most creative teacher. And that’s okay, because in today’s world, there are a ton of resources that are creative!

One thing we are going to do this year is have a couple of onsite field trips. We are also going to try to do a couple of outdoor field trips, but many indoor field trips are not possible due to COVID.

One onsite field trip we will do will be different fun Science experiments.

Even though our science curriculum has a lot of small built in experiments, but the big ones we will save for this day. I went to the library and found a fun science experiment book in their used bookstore for 25 cents! When I got home from the library, I found that Quarto STEAM Club had sent me a new box of goodies for my honest review.

Quarto STEAM Club sent me:

Books and kits that encourage science fun -- do your science field trip -- at home!

There are so many other ways that you can encourage creativity in your homeschooler. Look at these other books I got from Quarto STEAM Club:

Fun activities that you can do at home to encourage learning!

Something else I like to encourage in school is reading for fun.

Our 4th-6th graders will read 6 books and do a big workbook dthat will teach them literary terms and skills, but I want them to also enjoy reading. So I got the first book basket ready for the year. I will have them ready 9 books — 1 a month — for fun. Then they will either write a brief paragraph or draw a picture of it, and at the end of the year, they’ll put together a 9 patch quilt block out of their 9 papers.

Here’s my book basket for the 4th – 6th graders.

Book baskets make reading fun for kids!

I put in some easier books and some harder books, some Christian fiction books, some classics, and some biographies as well as fun fiction books. If you want to know exactly what books I included, let me know and I’ll write them all down. I also wrote down several books that I don’t have but Sonlight recommends for those grade levels, and I may get them for the 2nd half of the year.

The library can be your best friend in homeschooling. They will have science experiment books as well as books you can use for your book baskets, and more!

Disclaimer: I am NOT a true homeschooling mom.

I teach my children plus 4 other children at our church. My oldest is going to college this year, so I do not teach her anymore. I teach them Monday – Thursday from 8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m..

I do teach my own children, but I do have some help: the other parents have to help once a week. I also do not have to store all my stuff at home, and we have the benefit of going to “school” (even though we can walk there.) Being in a school setting makes it easier for my children and for me to stay focused.

However, I also have 8 children to teach (maybe 9) that span 7 different grade levels. I know there are homeschool families that have that many children or more, but that isn’t typical anymore. I do have an elementary education degree with six years experience teaching in a regular Christian school setting before teaching at our small church school, but I am not qualified to teach high school math or science.

So how do you prepare to homeschool your children?

Tips on how to get prepared for homeschooling as well as some free printables for Saxon math and ABeka Phonics.
  • Have the mindset that it will be a job and that it will take a lot of your time.

Yes, you may love homeschooling. You may not like it being called “work.”

However, it takes a lot of time to give your children a quality education. When I was a full-time teacher, I would stay until 5 or 5:30 p.m. every day to get ready for the next day. I would have work on the weekends to do. Or course, I taught 22-30 children, but it was only one grade level. Teaching multiple grade levels will take a lot of time and preparation — even if you use online classes. You will still have to provide oversight and help with concepts your child struggles with. Be mentally prepared for this fact.

One homeschool mother told me that she was doing 3 big jobs: cleaning the house, cooking meals, and educating her children. She said she could only do 2 well, so she had to pick which 2 jobs she did daily. Educating her children was one she usually had to do at least 4 days a week. So on those four days she would pick: did she want a home-cooked quality meal and a messy house or was she going to go for something easy that night like chicken nuggets and have a clean house?

There’s no shame in making an easy dinner or in having a messy house some days. Let go of the guilt — there’s very few perfect moms (and they aren’t perfect either).

  • Make a schedule and have your family help.

Your schedule can be “loose.” It doesn’t need to be hourly — unless that’s how you thrive. My kids know when it’s their turn to do dishes. My husband vacuums. There are Saturday chores for all of the kids. I call at dinner time for the kids to come help butter the garlic bread, to set the table, and they all are expected to clear off the table. My kids make their own breakfast and lunch. They fold their own laundry, and they clean the hallway bathroom.

Maybe you like to sit together for lunch (which we also did when the kids were younger) or you want a daily detailed schedule. Great! Find out what works for you, but have a conversation on how you are all in this together and how everyone needs to help. Or you will burn out.

  • For the schooling part, know where you need to be in each subject at the end of each quarter so that you can stay on track.

If there are 32 weeks in curriculum, then you should be 8 weeks done by the end of the 1st quarter. If there are 140 lessons, then divide 140 by 4 = 35 lessons each quarter. For Saxon math, I have to add up the tests + lessons + investigations to see where I should be. Saxon likes to put a test + a lesson on the same day. Many times I can split those into 2 days of math and still finish on time. There’s nothing worse than having to work long hours in June when everyone is ready for school to be over to get done. Knowing where you should be at the end of each quarter will help you stay on track.

  • Be organized.

Figure out what you are using, order your materials, then organize it. Take a day to show your children how you want them to do their work and the process they need to follow for each subject. If they understand their curriculum, they will be able to work on their own for certain subjects while you help another child. You also won’t waste time daily trying to figure out what you are doing.

I like to get all my printables ready — if possible — before school starts. I also like to take time on the weekend getting the next week ready. I make schedules for my kids so they know what they have to do each day. It takes time, but kids can then work independently when I am busy with other children, and I can go back and see what they should have done each day.

The children also know where to put their work that needs to be checked daily and then where to pick it up from after I have checked it. They have a writing folder for their rough drafts. There is so much that you can do to stream line your process — but what you do may be different from what I do. Sometimes it’s trial and error. You try one way of doing something and it’s a fail, but then another way works for you. Each year you will tweak something — that’s okay. It’s what teachers do in the school system as well.

  • Stay focused when it is school time.

A friend told me that she turns off her phone when it is school time. If you can designate a school room or a school space, that really helps. One mom would take her kids outside and they would walk around the house and into the back room where they did school. Then when school was over, they would walk back around the house and in through the front door. And now they were home. This helped put them all into “school mode.”

Wake up by a certain time and get started every day at about the same time. Have a break time and a lunch time. As much as possible, stick to those times so that you develop a routine. Younger children especially thrive on routine. It makes them feel safe. It also helps everyone to feel like school is progressing well.

Now, if you have a baby or special needs child, give yourself grace. Again, everybody’s home situation will be different. This is the beauty of homeschooling.

  • Have spontaneous rewards (spontaneous to the children/planned by you) for hard work.

School will be boring and will drag if it is all drill and drudgery. Make school fun by having play times, field trips, rewards, and special learning occasions such as cool science experiments, crafts, or baking times. Watch something that supplements what you are learning. We want kids to love learning (even though some things they won’t love to do and they just have to learn that school is their work.)

  • If you have multiple children, do the busy work with the first kid by making reproducible printables and keeping them for future children.

I have started typing up all the math meetings for Saxon math for 1st -3rd grades so that I can reuse them year after year. I also type up all the phonics board work for ABeka phonics for Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade phonics. Since I know I will use this with multiple children, I laminate them and have them in binders. The children use Wet Erase markers on the laminated sheets. If I only had 1-2 children, I may just use paper copies.

Not only does this save time from year to year, it saves time in my day-to-day teaching. I don’t have to write the board work every day. It is already done and I can quickly move from subject to subject.

I make fill-in-the blank worksheets and tests for science, history, Bible and more. I keep a hard copy in a binder and a digital copy on my computer and back it up.

You can also look on line and see who has done the hard work for you. There are many bloggers and other homeschool mom who share their printables — for free! Sometimes you may decide to purchase something as it saves you so much time and work.

There are so many other ways that you can be prepared to homeschool your children. These are just a few that popped into my head. I will try to do another post and share with you some more of the printables I have made for classes.

Here are just a few printables that I have made to make my life easier in teaching:

  1. ABeka Phonics boardwork for Kindergarten Phonics— I have only used this once and I know there are a few errors. I will have to go back through and edit it later. This corresponds with ABeka’s Homeschool K5 Phonics, Reading, Writing and Numbers Curriculum Lesson Plans, 2nd edition. You can click HERE to access this.
  2. The 1st grade Phonics boardwork needs some editing. I updated it, but when I transferred it to Google Docs, I need to tweak some things. This also is an older edition, so I don’t know if it corresponds with the newest edition. I bought up a few of the last edition when I knew they were updating.
  3. ABeka’s 2nd grade Phonics boardwork — again, this is for an older edition. I bought up a couple of workbooks when I knew they were updating their curriculum. I do not know if it corresponds at all with the new curriculum. Whenever I have to switch over, I will find out.
  4. Saxon 1st grade meeting form — I laminated this and used it every day for math meeting. I used wet erase markers that could be wiped off with a wet towel.
  5. Saxon 2nd grade math meeting papers. Saxon gives a little form that can be copied, but you still would have to write in the pattern and money. It also was tiny. One of my students this year is doing a lot of her work at home as her brother has leukemia. I could make a copy and send it home with her and then have a copy at school for the other 2nd grader to use.

Thoughtful Thursdays: Jehovah-shammah, The Lord is There, Part 2

This post may contain affiliate links. If you purchase those items through my links I will earn a commission. You will not pay more when buying a product through my link. Go HERE for more disclaimers.

By Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago, I started writing about the last name of God, Jehovah-shammah, that was included in Kay Arthur’s book, Lord, I Want to Know You.

Jehovah-Shammah: The Lord is There! Be Encouraged!

That post was more of an inspirational post and less of an educational post. With all the craziness going on right now, we have to remember, God is Here! He is with us. He will win in the end. We need not fear.

Today’s post is more of an educational post — but it should be inspiring as well.

First, we want to look at the meaning of this name of God.

  • We discussed what Jehovah means in this post. The name Jehovah expresses His self-existence and the unchangeableness of His character. He transcends the past, the present, and the future. 
  • Shammah means “there”.

Thus, “The LORD is there” is the literal meaning. It also could be translated “The Lord My Companion.” Isn’t that a wonderful thought? God is our companion. Our friend! He is by our sides! He is for us. He is loyal.

Secondly, we want to know what the background of the name.

This name is the climax in the Old Testament’s revelation of God. This name is the promise and pledge of the completion of that purpose in man’s final rest and glory, for man’s end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.

The key Scripture is Ezekiel 48:35. It is where we see this name of God. 

It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there. Ezekiel 48:35

Jehovah-Shammah: The Lord is There! Be Encouraged!

Now this prophecy is mostly for a future Jerusalem that the people of that time did not experience in their lifetime. No one has seen this prophecy fulfilled yet. The Jews who had been taken captive and were living in a foreign land were given encouragement that one day there would be a new heaven and new earth “wherein dwelleth righteousness, a home eternal in the heavens.” 2 Peter 3:13

Yet in one sense, this prophecy was partially fulfilled when the people of Israel came back to their homeland under Ezra, Nehemiah, and Zerubbabel,

When this name was said, Israel was at its lowest point in history. This prophecy gave then hope that one day they would go back to Jerusalem where the temple of God had been and rebuild the temple. The temple is where God dwelled, thus the name: Jehovah-shammah, The Lord is there.

“Ezekiel had prophesied 25 years earlier to the early captives in Babylon the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple. Now he brings this prophecy of hope and consolation that predicts the restoration of land and people in a measure far beyond anything they had ever experienced in the past or could have imagined. The pledge of all this is the name Jehovah-shammah, Jehovah is there.” Nathan Stone

“The people had loved Jerusalem and the temple. They were in captivity, the temple had been destroyed, and they were very sad. This prophecy by Ezekiel brought them great hope for the restoration of their land. This was Jehovah’s pledge of His presence in a glorious way they could not imagine.” Marilyn Hickey

Now, we see why this name of God was such an encouragement to the Jews who were in captivity. Even though they had been taken captive, even though the temple had been destroyed, God was promising them that He was still there. That all had not been lost. He is telling them, “Don’t despair! Return to me, for I am still Here.”

Kay Arthur said that this name assured them of a hope and a future. She goes on to say,

We need a future and a hope! For the most part, our world lives for today. “Give it to me now!” The future seems so uncertain, so hopeless to most people that they have lost their vision. Most live for only their immediate happiness. . .

Most Christians live this way. They have lost sight of the blessed hope, the glory of being absent from the body and at home with the Lord. They do not look to the time when they will reign with Jesus on earth (Daniel 7:27). They have lost their will to fight because they have forgotten that their citizenship is in heaven” (Philippians 3:20).

They have sat down at the world’s banquet table and glutted themselves with the things of this life. They have little interest in the glories of heaven. They can see and touch and taste and experience “now,” but they cant fathom the glories that are yet to come. Many Christians have become prisoners who will not try to escape. Thus, they are no threat to the world which holds them captive.

How can a Christian keep from being imprisoned by the world? How can we keep our vision and not lose hope?

Kay Arthur, LORD, I Want to Know You

We have at least one more post to share about this name of God. We’ll answer that last question that Kay Arthur asked right above and we’ll share how we can apply this name of God to our lives today.

Here are all of the Names of God posts:

Thoughtful Thursdays: How We Can Have Peace

This post may contain affiliate links. If you purchase those items through my links I will earn a commission. You will not pay more when buying a product through my link. Go HERE for more disclaimers.

By 1 Comment

My husband preached on Psalm 37 in our Wednesday night prayer service.

In Psalm 37, David, as an old man, tells us how to get peace. Today, we will look at Psalm 37:1-7.

We do not need to worry because God is trustworthy. Psalm 37 tells us how we can have a life of peace even during difficult times.

Do you want peace? This is a very turbulent time — yet God says we can have peace!

We see His first instructions on how we can have peace in verses 1-2:

 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Psalm 37:1-2

Verses 7-8 go along with verses 1-2

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

Why do we envy evil doers? Why do evil doers seem to prosper when the righteous sometimes suffer? Is it worth being righteous when the evil look to be prospering?

Here is a practical instruction to all of us. We see one command 3 times:

DO NOT FRET!

If we want peace, we must not fret. What does it mean to fret?

Literally, the Hebrew word for fret is the idea of growing warm, glowing, heating up with anger, jealousy, or zeal. We cannot let our anger start burning or boiling as was see the wicked prospering and they scheme against us.

The English word fret has the idea of devouring, gnawing at something. So we must not let anger or evil gnaw at us.

When we put the English and Hebrew definitions together, we can think of anger as an an angry or envious rat inside our souls gnawing away at us.

David here is saying to kill that rat of envy and anger. It will only do us damage. To have peace, we must stop or cease from anger or envy.

We are not to worry, angry, or be envious about evil doers. That will just cause more loss and damage. Those evil doers are temporary. Verse 2 says they will cut down like the grass. God will take care of them.

We should not be envious of the evil doers. If we are envious, then we desire to be like them. When we desire to be like someone, then we will become like them. We would be tempted to follow their example.

Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Psalm 37:3

If we put off envy and anger, then we must put on something in it’s place. What should we put on?

TRUST!

Trust in Hebrew here means to run to a place of refuge, to go to a safe place. Figuratively it means to lean on, to be confident, to be sure. It was used in the context of laying face down in worship showing complete dependence in God.

Therefore, the cure for fretting is faith and trust in God — no matter the circumstances around us. This submitting to God even in the midst of difficulties is an act of our will. We are trusting God to handle what seems to be unfair.

There is also an external reaction to this internal decision to trust. There is an action to take:

DO GOOD!

The best way to keep the mind off of fretting over circumstances and to not be envious over evil doers is to trust in the Lord and then to start working. It keeps our minds occupied and our hands busy so that we don’t have time to worry about evil doers. It will decrease the complaining and keep our mind off of the evil in this world.

“So shalt thou dwell in the land,” refers to the land of promise to the Israelites. Here David is telling them to go work the land — keep busy, do what God had told them to do.

“Verily thou shalt be fed” — God will take care of their needs.

Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Psalm 37:4

There’s even more God will give us when we stop fretting and being envious and start doing good. However, not only are we to trust and do good; but we must also . . .

DELIGHT!

The word delight means “to be soft, pliable.” The word delight comes from the same root word as to be in luxury or to be pampered. We are pampered in our relationship with God. Because we have this relationship with God, we don’t need anything else. Our happiness is in Him, so we don’t desire what the evil people have. He is the object of our affection, our thinking, and our activities. He takes care of our every need. He makes us comfortable and pampered. We don’t need anything outside of our relationship with Him.

Practically, to delight in the Lord is to take pleasure in Him, in His service, and in His fellowship.

When we delight ourselves in Him, He will give us the desires of our heart because His desires become our desires. Our prayers to God are His will for us. The person who delights in the Lord will have righteous desires, so automatically, God will answer his prayers.

John 15:7 says, “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”

Our requests will be in harmony with His will for our lives when we delight in God.

Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Psalm 37:5-6

The next command is to . . .

COMMIT!

This verb means to roll off your burden onto God like I Peter 5:7 says: “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.“

He is the muscle that carries those burdens for us.

Commit means to make God’s way my way. We don’t keep questioning God’s way. We do it even if we don’t understand it.

This word means that we believe God’s promises. We believe God will do what He says He will do. We cultivate the habit of placing Him first in our lives.

When we do all of these things – – trust, do good, delight, and commit, we will not fret.

And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Psalm 37:6

God will bless our trusting, delighting, committing, and doing good — He will bring it to pass. In context, this means He will bring our righteousness out as the noonday. Our righteousness will be seen.

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Psalm 37:7

Don’t murmur or complain when the wicked seem to prosper. We have to keep the right perspective that God is control and that it will work out for our good and His glory, but we must be patient as He will do it in His timetable. This mindset will help us remember that God will take care of us, and we don’t need to fret or worry.

Here are a couple of applications posed as questions?

  • Is there anything that the Lord cannot provide for you?
    If we answer this question honestly, then we have no reason to fret. If the Lord can provide everything that we need, then we do not need to worry.
  • Do you want to see God do something in your life?
    Then commit your way to Him: everything that you are, all the time that you have, and all the resources you have. God is working for you, and He will bring it to pass in His time.

Look at all the resources we have. They are all in the Lord:

Trust IN THE LORD.
Delight IN THE LORD.
Commit your way TO THE LORD.
Rest IN THE LORD.
Wait patiently FOR THE LORD.

SO DO NOT FRET!

As I walked home after church, I saw a rainbow in the sky. It made me think of how we can trust God to keep His promises. He made a promise to Noah thousands of years ago and gave him the sign of a rainbow to remind Noah that He would not forget that promise.

Today, we still see that rainbow, and we can remember that God has always kept His promises to this day — and He always will. We can trust Him. We do not need to fret.
