Handling Plans with Flexibility (with Celeste Cruz) Feb 15, 2018

Show notes

Mystie – There’s a spread of abilities and also needs. How do the expectations that we have as moms going into that situation affect how we do it, what we do, and our sanity as we do it. So, how would you say that your expectations have maybe changed or when you go into a school year.

Celeste – Since I’ve always had little kids while I’m schooling, usually a toddler and a baby, pretty much every year since I started homeschooling,.. I have a certain curriculum, a certain amount of work that I’d like to get done with my big kids but I have to be flexible in terms of where and how we fit in those things, and I have to be willing to think outside of the box in terms of our school day…

Mystie – When there’s so many interruptions and you have to get up and take care of the baby, there are just a lot of things all going on at once, and you’re trying to decide do I do [this] or [this]. How do you keep track of what you should be doing or what you need to get back to when the interruption calms down?

Celeste – I think of my day really in terms of blocks. At the beginning of each year I set out a schedule for myself where I have time slots and that is not actually something that we’re going to live by, that’s me making sure I’m not over-scheduling myself, that technically these things could potentially fit in this order on a given day that might or might not actually occur…

Clear Vocations Feb 12, 2018

Show notes

If there’s one thing that derails our attitudes, it’s feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about what we should actually be doing.

There are so many options, so many opportunities. We simply must say no at times, but how can we know when we should say no and when we need to be stretched by saying yes?

The answer lies in our vocations.

Vocation literally means calling. It is much more than a job, although it includes your jobs. They are statements of the primary roles you play in life.

We each have ways of functioning that fit us, as persons. Our vocations are made up of the big responsibilities we’re given.

Prayerful Pause Feb 05, 2018

Show notes

Anxiety and worry are attitudes we need to rid ourselves of. Peace and joy (among others) are the fruits of the Holy Spirit, the attitudes of Christ we are to put on. God’s peace, by the Holy Spirit, guards our hearts, changes our attitudes, when we pray with thanksgiving.

Communicating Plans with Kids (with Amy Roberts) Feb 02, 2018

Show notes

Whatever plans we make, we're asking for trouble if we expect our kids to quickly comply when we're always springing new plans on them.

Thoughtful Truth Jan 29, 2018

Show notes

Meditation is rather hip right now, but the kind of meditation I am speaking of is not emptying our minds, but rather filling them.

The Psalms speak of meditation, and in the New Testament we are exhorted to meditate on what is good and true and upright and beautiful. Think on these things.

We are thus commanded with good reason: it is good for us. It is good for our attitudes. It is how we keep a proper perspective and align our judgement.

Intentional Stories Jan 22, 2018

Show notes

What we think matters.

While it’s still awkward and uncomfortable, we accept the story God is telling in our lives and tell it to ourselves. We can take the reins and “take every thought captive.” We can change our thoughts.

And by changing our thoughts, we can change the story we see ourselves acting.

Planning with a Large Homeschool Family (with Amy Roberts) Jan 17, 2018

Show notes

Is planning even possible for a large homeschooling family? Amy Roberts from Raising Arrows tells us how to make it work.

Realistic Expectations Jan 15, 2018

Show notes

A potent attitude poison is unrealistic expectations.

When we make a to-do list full of our own pet projects when our time is actually taken up with our children and their needs, we're going to be grumpy and feel our children are getting in the way. Instead, we need to put them on our to-do lists and make sure we meet their needs before we add more in.
