Help to Be Still

Put Your Clothes On
What do you wear, Mama, when you’re leading your homeschoolers through their day? What do you make your students wear? Are you a down to lace-up shoes kind of family? Or are you happy as long as everyone is wearing pants? Whichever it is… you’re welcome here. Let’s toss the clothes in the laundry hamper and put on what really matters. Dive into Colossians with me.

Chase & Cling
I remember being a kid. The instant my Daddy got home, I’d hear his voice and come running. My sister took one leg and I took the other. We sat on his feet and let him drag us around the house until we fell off. Now, I do the same thing in my spiritual life. When Jesus calls me by name, I chase after Him, cling tight and do my utmost not to let go. How do you respond to Jesus? Have you responded to Him? He’s ready and waiting to let you cling to Him.

Pathway Readers & Dyslexia
I sat on the floor, criss-cross applesauce, cradling my sobbing eleven-year-old. I prayed, patted her hair, and tried to be the encouraging mama. But nothing soothed my student. What caused all the tears? A boring reader. Dyslexia is hard. When your child enters tweendom the differences between kids show more fiercely. My child was noticing. Not body types or fashion sense but her lag in reading ability and speed. Then, on top of all of that, after battling with dyslexia through a tutoring session her reward was a boring, kindergarten reader. The same boring and senseless sentences. It was so hard on my student I began writing my own short…

Author Sarah Hualde
Come join me as I interview Indie Author Sarah Hualde. What is the first book that made you cry? Bride to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. I wept until I couldn’t breath. Does writing energize or exhaust you? Both! Mostly, I’m energized by writing. Unless it’s deadline time. Then it exhausts me. Don’t even get me started about what editing does to me! Do you hide any secrets in your books that only a few people will find? Of course. That’s one of the perks. I get to expose inside jokes without calling out my comrades. Do you need music or noise to write? Or do you prefer silence? I need noise…

Late Night Coffee on Facebook
There are days I’m too exhausted to process one more written word. As a writer and book lover, I’m troubled by my own lack of brain space. I long to lounge on the couch and travel via the pages of a new book. I also am in desperate need of help and instruction, from time to time. But perusing another blog post or scouring Pinterest for just the right encouragement can be deflating. Does this sound familiar? I hear you. So, I’m busting out of my comfort zone and bringing you short videos every week. In addition to my weekly blog posts, it’s my aim to bring you daily Facebook…

Christmas in Honey Pot
Ever wished, come Christmastime, that you lived in a small town. You know the type you see in Hallmark movies. White snow, sparkling community tree, town hall Christmas pageant, all the major seasonal dressings. Maybe you can’t live in a Norman Rockwell painting or even next door to Linus and Charlie Brown. But you can visit a small town at Christmas, without shedding your Snuggie. Welcome to Honey Pot, the small town of mystery. Sure, they have frost and Main Street decorations. They have a pageant complete with wise men and donkeys. But Honey Pot also plays host to small-town drama and big time trauma. From now until the end of…
