Encouragement for the Seasons of Homeschooling
365 Mentoring Readings for Home Educators and Families
From the author of 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting for Families: Future-Focused Prayers for Your Homeschooling Children comes the main event-a full year of inspiration, reflection, and gentle, sometimes hilarious mentoring for every stage of homeschooling.
Welcome to January This first volume in the 12-month series invites you to add God into the equation of your homeschooling journey. Each month carries its own theme and focus-beginning here with prayer, renewal, and fresh perspective for the year ahead. Drawing from decades of experience as a mother, hospice nurse, and home educator, Mama Annie shares heartfelt wisdom, practical rhythms, and the proven strategies she used with her own children and now her grandchildren. Her warmth and wit will bring encouragement to your weary heart and rekindle your joy in teaching and parenting at home. Because when children have something greater than themselves to believe in-faith in God, a safe home, and parents they can count on-it becomes a game-changer in this uncertain world. Together, faith and family create a foundation strong enough to carry them through every season of life. Whether you're new to a home-education model or a seasoned teacher at home, these daily mentoring readings with "pro Tips" will renew your vision, steady your heart, and remind you that you are not alone in this calling.A Glimpse Ahead - Encouragement for the Seasons of Homeschooling
If you've enjoyed this 21-day journey, here's a little taste of what's ahead as we walk together through the months of our school year
January
Once the Christmas decorations are packed away and the house is back in order, school begins again. January brings reflection on faith and why some children are walking away from the church. It's a month to prepare hearts, restore order, and begin again.
February
The month of hearts. I open my own heart to you through stories of hospice, compassion, and love - lessons that shaped my home and faith - you will laugh and cry this month with me for sure.
March
"In like a lion, out like a lamb." We look at the lions and lambs in our lives - the things that roar and intimidate, and the places where God brings peace.
April
A month of remembrance and renewal. I guide you through the spring holidays - Passover, Good Friday, Easter - and help your family rediscover the story of redemption together.
May
Homeschooling finds its rhythm.. We turn our attention to gardens, mothers, and gratitude for growth - both in our children and in ourselves.
June
A season of milestones. Graduations, weddings, and transitions remind us to rest and to celebrate. Homeschooling is a marathon, not a sprint.
July
Summer invites us outdoors.. Reading becomes our quiet companion, and rest becomes our lesson plan.
August
Prep Time We talk about considering homeschooling, defining success, and embracing freedom - not competition.
September
Back to school and full of purpose. Practical help for struggling readers, balance between indoor and outdoor learning, and the joy of new beginnings.
October
Cozy homes and crisp air. We focus on perseverance - staying the course even when curriculum or circumstances challenge us.
November
The month of gratitude and preparation. We talk about balance between homeschooling and holiday rhythms, learning to celebrate and restore order with joy - and even to forgive those who have offended us. Sometimes family gatherings test our grace more than we'd like to admit, but they also remind us how deeply we need God's peace to fill our hearts and homes.
December
A month of worship. The story of Christ fills every page - the reason behind every rhythm, every act of love, and every lesson learned.
