🌿 Finding Peace in the Everyday: Surrendering to God's Will 🌿

Have you ever wondered how to find holiness in the middle of daily chaos? As a homeschooling mother, I’ve often searched for grand gestures to deepen my faith—only to realize that God is found in the simplest, everyday tasks.

✨ "Holiness is found even in folding laundry or preparing meals for my children." ✨

In my latest blog post, inspired by Abandonment to Divine Providence by Jean-Pierre de Caussade, I share how every moment—big or small—is infused with God's grace when we surrender to His will.

💡 "All that happens to me will be food for my nourishment, water for my cleansing, fire for my purification."

Learn how I’ve found peace amidst life’s chaos by embracing the quiet call of God’s will, even during challenging times. 🌟

True love for your children involves making decisions that may be difficult in the short term but beneficial in the long run. This includes saying 'no' to things that might not be good for them and setting boundaries that teach them important values and life skills. Tough love isn't about being harsh or strict for the sake of it; instead, it's about guiding them through challenges so they can grow into resilient, responsible, and capable individuals. By setting these boundaries, parents provide a framework within which children can learn about accountability, respect for others, and the importance of self-discipline. Ultimately, tough love is a powerful way to show care and support for their development, preparing them to navigate life's challenges with confidence and integrity.

Cherishing Family Moments is The True Joy of Life

Life’s most beautiful moments often come from the simplest of joys. As we go through our busy days, it’s essential to pause and cherish the laughter shared with those we love.

In a heartwarming video I recently captured, a little boy’s playful antics in the park brought pure delight to his mom, dad, and small sibling. Their faces lit up with joy, creating a memory that will undoubtedly last a lifetime. Moments like these remind us of the true essence of happiness – the bonds we share and the love we nurture within our families.

Watching this video filled my heart with warmth and reminded me of the profound beauty in everyday family interactions. It’s a powerful reminder to embrace and celebrate the simple pleasures of life.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate and create more of these beautiful memories with our loved ones. After all, the true joy of life is found in the laughter shared with those we love.

Finding Perfection in Everyday Duties

As a homeschooling mom of five with limited resources, life often feels overwhelming. But I've discovered a beautiful perspective on sanctity from Jean-Pierre de Caussade that makes the journey toward becoming our best selves much simpler.

In my latest article, I explore how sanctity isn't about grand gestures but about faithfully carrying out the duties appointed by God. Every task, responsibility, and interaction is an opportunity for spiritual growth.

🔹Everyday Sanctification: Transform your character through small acts of kindness, patience, and forgiveness.

🔹 Faithful Living in Action: Embrace each moment and duty with purpose.

🔹 Active and Passive Fidelity: Fulfill your duties actively and embrace challenges with love and acceptance.

🔹 God's Simplified Rules for Holiness: Understand that God's grace is for everyone, not just the saints.

🔹 Embracing Simple Duties: Find sanctity in the everyday rhythms of life.

🌿 Dive deeper into these insights and discover how you can find perfection in your everyday duties.

Homeschooling with Faith: Illuminating Our Paths with Christ's Timeless Wisdom

As a homeschooling mom, I often reflect on the wisdom and guidance we can draw from the teachings of Jesus Christ. In today's world filled with distractions and uncertainties, His words offer a timeless beacon of light to illuminate our paths and guide us towards a life filled with meaning and purpose. 🌟

When I think about the saying, "He who follows Me, walks not in darkness," it resonates deeply with me. Just as I strive to lead my children by example in our homeschooling journey, Christ's life serves as the ultimate model for us to emulate. It's not just about listening to His words but embodying His spirit in all aspects of our daily lives. 🙏

In homeschooling, I've learned that true wisdom lies not only in knowledge but in the pursuit of a virtuous life pleasing to God. Living with humility, grace, and love has a profound impact on our family dynamics. It's not about reciting verses or philosophical teachings but about cultivating a genuine connection with God through our actions and intentions. ❤️

Amidst our busy lives, it's easy to get caught up in worldly pursuits that ultimately lead to emptiness. Through homeschooling, I've realized the importance of instilling values that transcend material wealth and superficial desires. Seeking the Kingdom of Heaven through simplicity, humility, and service is at the heart of our journey. ✨

Let's focus on the eternal rather than the temporary. The pursuit of spiritual growth, love, and selflessness far outweighs the fleeting pleasures of this world. By turning our hearts towards the invisible truths and letting go of earthly attachments, we pave the way for a deeper connection with God and each other. 🌿

Join me as I share the joys and challenges of our homeschooling journey, inspired by Christ's timeless wisdom. It's not about perfection but about progress, not about knowledge but about love, and not about worldly accolades but about serving with a humble heart.

ABANDONMENT TO DIVINE PROVIDENCE - sIMPLIFIED iNTERPRETATION

[mommaching]

"Even if you get divorced, if you were married in the Catholic Church, you are still not allowed to marry someone else. If you do that, you commit adultery in the eyes of God"

According to the Catholic Church, marriage is considered a lifelong sacrament. Even if a couple gets legally divorced, the Church does not recognize the dissolution of a valid sacramental marriage. Therefore, remarrying someone else while the original spouse is still alive is considered adultery in the eyes of the Church.

Every child must have chores to do. It gives them dignity in work and the joy of labor. - Earl Hamner Jr.

[mommaching]

A genuinely humble person would prefer to be described by others as worthless or good-for-nothing rather than describe themselves in such a manner. If such criticisms are directed towards them, a humble individual would accept them without contradiction or resistance, acknowledging them contentedly as their own opinion. True humility is accepting criticism or lowly remarks without defensiveness or pride.

A Gentle Start to Homeschooling

Starting homeschooling can feel like diving into the deep end of a pool without knowing how to swim. There’s pressure to get everything right from day one—finding the perfect curriculum, sticking to a rigid schedule, and transforming your home into a miniature school. But let me share a secret from my own journey: it doesn’t have to be that way.

Transitioning to homeschooling gradually is the key to success. It’s like dipping your toes in the water before diving in headfirst. This approach gives everyone in the family time to adjust, shake off any negative experiences from traditional schooling, and figure out what works best for each individual.

Taking it Slow: The Art of De-schooling

Imagine stepping off the hamster wheel of traditional schooling and into a world where learning happens at your own pace. That’s what de-schooling is all about. It’s a period of rest, reflection, and rediscovery—a chance to hit the reset button on your family’s education.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Allow Adjustment Time: Give yourselves at least one month of de-schooling for every year your child spent in a traditional school. Let them sleep in, enjoy lazy mornings, and explore their interests without the pressure of structured lessons.

2. Reflect on Learning: Use this time to have open discussions as a family about what worked and what didn’t in traditional school. Keep a journal to track your observations and insights into your child’s natural learning style.

3. Explore Interests: Encourage your child to dive into hobbies, activities, and subjects that spark their curiosity. Whether it’s painting, playing soccer, or delving into books about dinosaurs, let them follow their passions.

4. Establish a Routine: While flexibility is key during de-schooling, having a loose daily routine can provide a sense of structure and predictability. Make time for family bonding activities like game nights, cooking together, and outdoor adventures.

Transitioning to “School”: Finding Your Groove

Once you’ve eased into the homeschooling lifestyle, it’s time to start adding a bit more structure to your days. But don’t worry—it’s still all about flexibility and customization.

Here’s how to transition smoothly:

1. Start with Core Subjects: Begin with the basics—reading, writing, and arithmetic. Focus on building a strong foundation in these areas before branching out into other subjects.

2. Incorporate Interests: As you settle into your routine, look for opportunities to weave your child’s interests into their lessons. Whether it’s incorporating science experiments into your backyard adventures or studying history through historical fiction novels, make learning come alive.

3. Adjust as Needed: Remember, homeschooling is all about finding what works best for your family. Be willing to tweak your schedule, curriculum, and teaching methods as you go. What works one week may not work the next, and that’s okay.

Embracing the Journey

As you embark on this homeschooling adventure, remember to be patient with yourself and your children. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a successful homeschooling experience. Embrace the ups and downs, celebrate the victories, and lean on your homeschooling community for support and encouragement. By starting with a gentle approach, you’ll lay a solid foundation for a lifetime of joyful learning and growth. So take a deep breath, trust in yourself, and enjoy the journey ahead. You’ve got this! 🌟
