Called Home:

Finding Joy in Letting God Lead Your Homeschool

In the Spring of 2006 I was called to homeschool. It was never my intention or my plan, but God clearly showed me this was a calling. It was a hard step to take, but the Lord directed my steps…

I have not looked back since.

Although the homeschooling journey is difficult at times, if God has put you on this path and called you here, He will lead you through each day. We simply need to stop chasing things, and start chasing Him.

This book will encourage you to keep your focus on the One who has called you here. Through my personal story and experience, you will see what happens when we take our eyes off of Him, and how each day can look when we regain our focus, fix our eyes on Him and on the true goals of homeschooling…

“Maybe you are just starting out, or maybe you have been doing this awhile. Either way, there is most likely some amount of fear. Fear of the major responsibility that homeschooling is, or fear that you aren’t doing it “right.” Perhaps you are tired. Burnt out. Running on empty. Maybe you are up to your eyeballs in curriculum catalogs, reviews, planners, highlighters, label makers, and resources. Meanwhile the laundry calls, the dishes pile up, and the kids are tired. You are tired. You are trying to decide how on earth you are going to do it all. Or maybe you just are ready to throw in the towel altogether.

Well, take a deep breath. Relax. The One who created the universe in a breath, the One who called you to this journey, is in control. Yes, He is in control of your homeschool. Is anything too hard for Him?”

~Karen DeBeus, Called Home

Ultimately, we can have freedom and joy in our homeschools once we let go and let God lead…

Simply Homeschool Ebook Giveaway!

*This giveaway is closed.
It’s here! I am so excited to finally make available to you all my first eBook titled,

“Simply Homeschool:

Having Less Clutter and More Joy in Your Homeschool.”

That’s what we all want right?
Get rid of clutter and experience the joy God has intended for our families on our homeschooling journeys!

This short eBook is all about what I have learned on my homeschooling journey thus far, and why I feel it is so important to keep our focus on GOD in our homeschools.

It has been an amazing journey for me and I can’t wait to encourage you all with what I have learned along the way!

With Matthew 6:33 as the basis, this eBook will focus on what I have learned in the following areas:

Getting rid of physical clutter and organization tips
Getting rid of mental clutter
Curriculum choices
Schedules
Meal planning
Letting God lead your homeschool
Avoiding the comparison trap, and letting your homeschool be YOUR homeschool
Not letting homeschool become an idol-Keeping GOD first

It is my desire to encourage others out there to live more simply in all areas of our lives, and this eBook focuses specifically on simplifying homeschooling.

When we keep God first in our homeschools, we can have the true JOY that is meant for our families.

Excerpt from “Simply Homeschool:Having Less Clutter and More Joy in Your Homeschool”

“I would rather be with my children sitting at
Jesus’ feet, than running around trying to be busy.
God has called us to raise our children and raise them up according
to His Will. We can’t forget that.
I truly believe that if we put the Lord first in all we do in our homeschools, He will
bless us. We may worry that we are not doing things just right, or that our kids
aren’t learning enough. If my children know the Lord first and foremost, I have
done my job.”

So grab a cup of tea, curl up, and join me as we encourage each other to Simply Live…For HIM!

I am so incredibly grateful that God has given me these gifts- teaching my children, writing, encouraging…it is a path I never expected to be on, but wouldn’t want to be anywhere else…

I love this blog. It’s my baby. It started out as a journal and has evolved into so much more. It is humbling.

It astounds me that He has done immeasurably more than I have ever asked…

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,”

{Ephesians 3:20}

As soon as the book is available, I will share it here.

Until then, won’t you join me in Simply Living…for Him…
