Hey there, Welcome to this video and to my channel.
Today I'm talking about homeschooling.
And how we are doing things a bit more relaxed and taking a different approach to learning and homeschooling this year.
there's so many different options and learning styles that works for each child, and that is the joy and freedom of homeschooling.
What works for one may not work for another.
And you learn as you go. I hope you find this encouraging.

My heart & passion for my ministry- video post

2/28/2021

Hey there, just did this video to share my heart and passion for my ministry and what it is I feel God has placed on my heart and called me to along with my role as wife and mother.
My ministry outside the home is just an overflowing of my ministry inside the home.

Yes, mothers, we are in the ministry right in our homes too, as we mother and nurture these little ones and big ones. As we home-school or don't, or as we are cooking and cleaning, and training and diapering, etc.... It's ministry for sure.
So what i share in this video is the overflow of what I do here in the home. I have a heart to draw other women like you closer to the heart of God to walk with Him daily, and so that you too can impart Him to your children. And have that heart to heart relationship with God and have your lives and homes flourishing with the things of God.
May you enjoy this video. May it encourage you.
And if I can be a help to you or offer you any other resources that will inspire in your walk with God and in your mothering please connect with me.

9/2/2020

In this episode I add to my series I'm covering in Be That Mom.
Be that mom - that disciplines her children with love and patience.
I talk about the mistakes I made in my early parenting years and what to watch out for and avoid.
I talk about the 4 styles of parenting and which one is the ideal one and which produces the outcome in our children that we all want and that is best for them as they grow to follow after God and that will enable them to be well balanced and secure children.
Here is the link to the article I read about the 4 styles of parenting here on this episode of the podcast. https://www.verywellfamily.com/types-of-parenting-styles-1095045.
The book I referred to on this episode is called, If Jesus Were a Parent, by Hal Perkins. This book was not personally recommended me but was recommended to moms in general on a large-family Facebook group I am on.
Thanks for listening and stay tuned for more.

Be that mom - it's a new season on my podcast!

7/1/2020

I'm so excited to announce our new and exciting season in our podcast. As well as our new podcast name, and how it all came about.
As new parents, our early years of parenting were not ideal, but I love how God can turn things around and bring something beautiful out of our messes and failures.
Come along join me this new season of the podcast as we together ( yes, you & I ) grow closer to God and become that mom that God wants us to be.
In this episode, I refer to these 2 verses.
~ Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:16 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48 ~
No, we are not perfect and I don't think ever will be here on earth, but when we truly love God we seek after Him and His ways in our life with all of our being we become more like Him day by day. And our lives reflect Him in the things we do, the things we say, and the way we parent our children.
We just have to stay hungry & thirsty for more of God in our lives, stay open and teachable, and He will do His good and perfect work in our lives which only He can do, and in turn we will bear much fruit.
And be a mother after God's own heart.
In Him, Mae Renfroe
