Linking Encouragement
Reading blogs throughout the week, I find many encouraging articles and creative ideas. I often think of sharing them with you, but, unfortunately or perhaps fortunately, thoughts can’t be published without clicking a keyboard.
Organizing is therapy to me, so my bookmarks are sorted by subject. I will share them the same way. Today I’m digging in my encouragement folder, because I’ve been teetering along a dry ditch recently.
Encouragement from real homeschoolers
- Cindy Rushton lets us in on her secret, Psst! A Secret to Scheduling Success! (Thanks for pointing this article out, Shannon.)
- I’ve revisited Lisa’s article a number of time. She deals with feeling inadequate and overwhelmed in Garlic and Leeks.
- April shares what she ought to do and makes me laugh.
- This soul searching article by Jen examines Expectations and Contentment.
- Sunniemom reminds us to stop Looking for the Magic Wand.
- Jeannie Fulbright addresses “Academics Attack” in Training the Heart.
Since our goal is to reach the heart of our children, I also wanted to share this monthly prayer guide Anna-Marie sent me: Praying for our Children.
I hope you enjoy these articles. Some of them are from last year, but true words don’t fade with time.

Renae, thanks for including me, and wow, this is a great collection. I just looked at the monthly prayer guide from Anna-Marie, and I love it. Thank you!
April’s death to “ought” was a riot! Thanks for sharing. :D
Amy,
I always appreciate encouraging posts no matter what time of year it is, but especially now. We’ve been working for a number of weeks, and it is too easy to get weary.
Jennifer,
Of course! I really needed to revisit the ideas you presented so eloquently. And I know you are not homeschooling now, but you know what it’s all about. ;)
Dianne,
Because of April’s wit, I usually find a good laugh at her blog. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for these wonderful links! I so needed them today. Have a blessed week!

Sorry to hear you’ve been struggling. I find myself feeling the same way about a few things lately, not homeschooling so much as other things. But I’ve been there enough times to know that God will turn things around :)
Renee’,
I’m so glad they blessed you. Thank you for letting me know.
Barbara,
I know I will get through. You will, too. :) I’ve just been feeling a bit overwhelmed and restless.
I was going to email you to let you know that I started reading your book at just the right time. I picked it up this weekend and read half of it before nap time was over. It is so encouraging! I look forward to finishing it tonight or tomorrow.
