Tricia Goyer’s Homeschool Life
Our homeschooling journey began twelve years ago when my oldest son, Cory was of kindergarten age. My husband and I had close friends who homeschooled their children, and we liked what we saw. Their kids seemed to enjoy being with their parents and each other. They were smart, intelligent, and fun to be around. We…

Experiencing God in Parenting
As I’ve been Experiencing Christ Within, I’ve also been challenged in my parenting. A while ago God led me from my restrictive, by-the-book parenting to a more Grace based parenting. It wasn’t an easy switch, and I still struggle with doling out consequences as my first reaction to parenting. But I’ve learned over the last…

I’m Writing Again!
That’s right! I’ve got a green light! After my incredible experience at ACFW this year I felt an unexplainable peace about my writing or lack of writing. It’s hard to put into words except that the anxiousness to write and be published was gone, I was finally able to accept God’s timing. I knew I’d…
It’s Been One of Those Days
Let me set the mood by saying Blogger just crashed and lost my original post…So here’s take two: My body is weary, and my brain is fried. Maybe it’s the nine hours I spent at the State fair yesterday, (or maybe it’s all the mid-way junk food I ate!)Maybe it was one too many rollercoaster…
