Life is tough but God is tougher!
Hi all! We have a great deal going on around here and I’ve wanted to write lately, but have been at a loss of what to say. The things we are dealing with right now are some personal private issues that I cannot share. So many things that I simply do not understand. A future that in so many ways I can’t imagine playing out in a positive way. But, as always, God has shown me that He is in control. I listened to Focus on the Family’s daily broadcasts yesterday and today which is a two part series of Josh McDowell sharing his testimony. Wow! I recommend everybody listen to these broadcasts! The link is http://www.focusonthefamily.com/ just go there and click on the right hand side where is says “Listen to Daily Broadcast”. Then listen to Overcoming the Father Wound 1 & Overcoming the Father Wound 2 (in that order, of course). Nothing in my circumstances have changed, nothing that is except the reassurance and reality that God really does work all things out for good. Even when it seems impossible.
That said, please pray for my family. Several unspoken prayer needs, and also my pain levels are up quite a bit (probably due to reducing medications - going off last one now!, increasing heat, and increased stress as of late) so if you have a moment, please also pray for my attitude and countenance to be positive and happy regardless of my pain levels.
Last but not least… we are having a first ever HOMESCHOOLOPOLY® “buy one get one free” sale! (Also could be called, “We really need some money to pay our bills” sale!) As many of you know, Greg and I created this homeschool board game in 2006 after God told us to. Not only is it the only homeschool board game on the planet, but it is super fun if I do say so myself! The perfect game for these long, hot, summer days. PLEASE HELP ME SPREAD THE WORD BY TELLING ALL OF YOUR HOMESCHOOL FRIENDS!!! Every game also comes with over $600 worth of coupons and freebies as well, so it’s an awesome deal.

Creator of HOMESCHOOLOPOLY® Board Game | Speaker | Author of Homeschooling the Journey is the Reward.
My husband, Greg, and I have been happily married for 25 years and we have homeschooled our kiddos since 1993. I have Multiple Sclerosis, 2 spinal cord injuries, Celiac Disease, ADHD, and more. In addition, three of our four children have major health issues including Celiac Disease, Asperger’s Syndrome, ADHD, and Scoliosis. My hubby has Asperger's as well. Our two oldest are grown, one is a college graduate currently pursuing his master's, and our only daughter is a college freshman. We only have 2 kiddos left at home - our 13 year old son, and our baby (who is not a baby anymore!) our 7 year old son. My hearts desire is to encourage and minister to homeschool moms. My secondary ministry is to encourage, respect, and help lead kiddos and teenagers to Jesus Christ. I was paralyzed from the waist down in August of 2007 and by the grace of God am recovering wonderfully and can now walk again!! Miracles always abound in our family and God has shown Himself to be amazing and awesome. I use this blog to share from my experiences while trying to always be open and "real" as I deal with life’s difficulties on a daily basis all while still homeschooling, learning, writing, and very much enjoying life! God is my strength and my comfort. Whom shall I fear? Life is good.
