What curriculum is the best?

[@mariselasoto7206]

I don’t think you even realize the impacted your video just made in my life! I have been fasting and praying for God to help me get a grip on homeschooling. As my kids are wanting to fight me every step of the way. Frustration was getting the best of me. And comparison was slowly chipping away at my relationship with my kids. You are truly an answer to my praying. God is a provider and always had been… this time it was using you to fill my heart with things it needed to hear and realign my priorities. The enemy will not WIN nor will he take away this precious moments I have with my kids. ❤

[@ladyprivate.7597]

It's almost 3 am, and as I sat here arguing with my husband about speaking to me in demeaning ways and not being to go to him for help, I scrolled and God brought this video on my screen. I listened to you speak with such love and passion for you children, and I cried. I homeschool 3 kids without my husband's help, and I was asking God for help because I felt stuck. I don't know your name, but thank you for giving me enlightenment, and for reminding me that God trusts me with my children, and is here to help me raise them to bring Him glory. I still feel like crying because I feel encouraged now!! So thank you, for all your passion...your love expressed in your videos, and for letting the Holy Spirit speak through you right to my soul!! Blessings upon you and your family!! Nat

[@Youmayhavepeace]

Thank you so much Nat! I get the struggle, for sure. One of the most common responses I’ve received from women is how there is some sort of tension between their husband and the home school. Whether it be obedience, mess, education in general, ability- it’s common. I say that not to justify it, but to reassure you that you are not alone. And if God is your foundation, your reason, your purpose, you can’t go wrong. May God strengthen your relationship with it all from the kids to the husband to the school- you got this! And if in times you don’t, rest assured that God does 🙏🏼🥰

[@ashleywalkerministries]

Dear Nat, I can relate to you on arguing with my husband, trying to get him not to talk to me in a demeaning way. I just wanted to say, after trying to leave my husband and my entire life falling apart, being in this less than ideal relationship is MUCH BETTER than the stress of going through a divorce. I am determined to make things work, even if my husband never changes. If you watch Paul Jenkins, on Live On Purpose, I am confident it would be a blessing to you!!❤️

[@PrettyChocolateTrina]

Yes Nat, I am in the same spot as you down to the 3am spat lol😅 I have come to the same realization as well and this video is confirmation of the fact that God is who have me the children to raise and teach.

As we are preparing for a new year ahead, I’ll have a junior, an 8th grader, a 5th grader and a 1 year old in tow, your words have encouraged my heart deeply! There is such wisdom in your words, and a peace that transpires as you speak that I know can only come from the Holy Spirit and your beautiful love for Christ! Thank you for all that you shared!

I was sitting here scrambling on finding a curriculum for my three school aged children. I took them out of public school, with no planning/ notice . (It was just the way God showed me through events) and as I’m sitting here hoping this video would solve everything…it did but not in the way the I expected it to. You just brought me down from 100 to 0. I’m so calm and relaxed now, because this is all that I needed to hear. I took them out of public school for all the reasons stated, and that should be the focus. Wow wow wow…thank you ! I’ve been studying Proverbs and this for me ties into it a lot. ❤❤

[@Kra-ri6fd]

This is awesome! About three years ago we made the last minute choice to pull our children from public schools with no plan on how to approach homeschooling. We started with an online curriculum but fazed out of that the next year. I have seen my children's behaviors change so much from homeschooling. They are more polite and a lot more creative. I now focus on 4 main subjects, reading writing, math and social studies and the rest of the day is for learning morals ans life skills. That's all they really need. You got this.

I have homeschooled my son for 6 years total(including K) and allowed him to go to public school(2nd-6th) for 6 years total(he repeated 3rd grade). He is 16 now and is about to start 11th grade. What you have shared is what I've been missing! Had I heard this sooner I may have never allowed him to go to public school, as it was more damaging than good for him both educationally and spiritually and did harm to his relationship with both me and his dad. Thank you, thank you for this video, which I personally believe was spirit led, I will be doing this with my son for his last two years and with my 3 year old when he goes through school. I pray God continues to bless you and your family with His Grace that empowers growth and change, His peace that passes understanding and His love that is never failing.

Sweet woman, watching this video was just what I needed to hear this week. You remind me so much of myself at the beginning of our homeschool journey. I had only 1 school aged child then and also had read countless books on homeschooling. I had read teaching the trivium and was convinced that was the right way, until the Lord convicted me while reading "educating the whole hearted child" by Clay and Sally Clarkson that I was missing the whole point. Our homeschool shifted after that conviction from rigorous facts and figures to a gentle exposure w an emphasis on Christ, love, family, and time in nature. That journey began in 2010. I now have 7 school aged children and my oldest will be 18 in October. He wants to go to trade school and Ive found my self panicking as we've realized he's not the best speller and needs to brush up on his math. Ive spent this past week questioning if my methods were correct. Have I done a diservice to him? Should I change this now while my remaining school aged kids are 16, 15, 12,11,10, and 7? However, just last night the Lord comforted me by a conversation with my oldest child and again here w your video. While chatting w him about his future last night, he told me that he has "loved his childhood" and has "an excellent family". That he loves to learn and always will. When I asked him if he felt jipped in his education he told me he feels fullfilled and is entering the world better off than most because he already has wisdom, since he already fears the Lord. And not to worry about his math because he'll study it further on his own to prepare for electrician school. Will he be a Harvard graduate? No. Will he be a scientist? No. And he couldnt tell you the newest trending pop star or even name one of the Kardashians. But he is a God fearing, Jesus loving, honorable young man who will work hard w his hands for a living. Thank you so much for this encouraging video. I hope sharing my experience from the " end" point of this journey, encourages you as well. And I will continue to homeschool my remaining 6 children this way. I hope you find joy and see much fruit in your homeschool journey, too. Praying for your family, sweet girl. ❤

[@Youmayhavepeace]

I love hearing from experienced moms, what encouragement, thank you! Also about a trade school- that’s the way to go to be honest!!! Technology is replacing so many computer-based occupations No one wants to get up and work And starting at this young he’ll have a very successful outcome. My dad grew with the trade and as his body aged he was already a foreman and didn’t climb poles anymore (lineman) And with God leading the way it couldn’t get any better!

This was so timely! After arguing with the Holy Spirit, then studying the Lord's Word and hearing an excellent message on the Crucible of Fellowship, and finally a word of encouragement from my pastor, I finally opened my home to host the biweekly play group at church. It's gonna totally screw up my perfect homeschool schedule. It's gonna make for more housework. I'll have to budget differently for groceries every two weeks. But homeschool is about so much more than curriculum and planning and school books and To Do's. It's about nurturing sacrificial love in our home and around our table.

Chose to homeschool and not let my children be raised by others. This is literally like a breath of fresh air because there was always that little devilish voice in the back of my head; "Am I crazy for thinking this way?..."Am I dumb?"...

In the beginning, I felt like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders, but now I realize that the only pressure that I was feeling was my own. My oldest two children still love to learn. They both amaze me with their diligence to study on their own. My oldest daughter pursues digital art and animation with daily discipline, and my oldest son works full-time and then comes home to study for his Private Pilot's License.

@@voc7394 Hey! I sure can. At first, I was using a lot of ACE (Also called “School of Tomorrow”) but came into some issues as the grades became more advanced. Specifically with the Math portion. So, now I use The Good and the Beautiful Language Arts, Saxon Math, and then KZbin for learning all about the world and the things in it for Science and Social Studies. I do this because watching interesting videos about topics was much more interesting for my children then reading about them in a book with a couple of pictures. The videos make all the topics come alive. We learn about other countries, animals, astronomy, history and countless other things via KZbin. Also, if the kids ever have a question such as, “How do they decaffeinate coffee?” I just add that to the list of topics we will find and watch on KZbin. Lastly, I use part of the ACE Kindergarten curriculum to teach my kids the alphabet sounds and then use the “Teach my child to read in 100 easy lessons” to have them up and reading without much effort. I hope this helps. ☺️☺️

@@Dana_Bellamy Thank you so much for answering me. I'm Brazilian, so homescooll isn't so well known here, but many families have been doing it for a few years. I am very happy to see mothers like you who have already managed to train their children. It's very inspiring. May God bless you and your family.

[@Dana_Bellamy]

@@voc7394 You are so welcome! I am from Australia and it is also not well-known there. So, I understand. It was a big leap of faith for me to get started in homeschooling my children. But, it was the BEST decision and I am so glad that I homeschooled. My children are flourishing and they wouldn't be the people they are today if I would've sent them to school. I wish you all the best on your homeschool journey! :)

I'm in my 3rd year of Homeschooling, and this is by far the most personal and relatable Christian-based home school video I've ever come accross....Thank You!

Gosh I needed this right now. We took a pause on homeschooling this year because we were just so lost. But this brought me so much peace. Thank you.

[@beatrixdynamite]

Wowwww, I felt like you were talking directly to me in this one. I really needed this clarity right now. Thank you!

[@Just.a.girl.doing.her.dharma]

Totally agree. I didn’t know how to quit put it in words. I knew my daughter came into this world as person she was going to be already, like there is no mistaking that. Her personality is so strong. I’m so glad I click your channel. Very helpful in explaining things. To help others understand my boundaries and why I won’t allow BS (belief systems) around me. Especially talking over my child. We are definitely learning Christ here in my house. I’ll say im no longer of the traditional church style I was raised as a child and into my adulthood to be. We are teaching Christ as one of the ascended masters, who was one of the greatest healers to ever walk this planet. But his mother was a great being as well. For without her Jesus could have not came as the soul he did. So how we react is very important. It’s also why we have repeating patterns in our lives. Lessons have not been learned yet. How we react is so key to transmuting those patterns in our lives. Because we haven’t realized that it’s happening for us and not to us. So love being the key to change anything. We all been sold this idea that there isn’t enough for everyone to be in abundance on this planet, that it’s just enough to survive to day to day and that our enemies (our neighbors) want to take our freedom from us and we must go fight other countries, persons in order to survive. And that we can’t be friends with other countries and their religion is not of the western’s religion. Causing even greater division. and that America thinking is correct and everyone else’s thinking is wrong, etc, etc. but that’s not so. Abundance is for all, and all can thrive! Sorry, I got way off topic here. Our reaction and non reaction is very important. We are adjusting our minds more of What would love do? How would love react? Because everything comes through the mind’s nature. Right thinking and right desires. But the inner terrain has a big pull on our thinking as well and our reactions. Endocrine systems is very important. I no longer eat 90 percent of the grocery store’s food and products. I’ve learned the importance of spring water, and what happens when our bodies pH goes below what it supposed to be. Dis-ease comes from within. Why throwing out your table salt is so very important. Structured water is vital to our ability to transmute the old thinking and the many generations of indoctrination we have been apart of. If certain systems are running in a person, it makes it hard for that being to see truth in why homeschooling is so very important. The illusion is pulling them. And I may not be saying it completely right. I do apologize. I do like how you express that other’s people “what we should be do” isn’t good (comparison) and we should keep from that kind of thinking. Because it causes many unhealthy reaction. The major thing is not to judge and don’t take it personally when others are in lower frequencies of mind and still believe the many illusions that the narratives broadcasting. But to send them love and light, like praying for them. We need more of the future of community to come into the present. It’s about community for family and raising a child. Eating off the land and the kids learning from the nature. Everything is in the nature. The highest knowledge can be attained from nature. It’s beautiful. But as a single mom who just started homeschooling and huge healing taking place. Which isn’t always pretty. Purification can be ugly sometimes. Especially when shifting the mind. I still have a lot of work to do on inner self. . But awareness is first process. Letting go of my attachments, desires, all those did was keep me from the present, and in a state of always doing. I found that being in the present is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to self teach myself. I’m 38 years old and my parents were big reactors, never fully present. But that powers that be wanted to keep us busy, so I have greatly shifted my childhood perspective of how I was raised and allowed in more love and light, forgiveness and love for my parents by shifting my thinking. I have a request please? Could you do a video on the intellect mind vs the intelligence mind. I know you say you research deep. And I don’t doubt that. But google is one big system that has truth and facts along with false and misleading information and Sometimes in the same article. lol 😂 Buddhi, manas, and ahankara.

[@kenziemacdonald4386]

This put me into tears ❤️ I was raised my very mentally Ill and unstable people. So I’m unlearning a lot. I have a 4 year old and a 7 month old. Im not religious at all and have been very traumatized by religion but I wanna take the parts that feel true from this and implement it into my day. So thank you❤️

[@meglupo18]

I'm sorry you were hurt by religion. Jesus is so good though. :)

[@kevinandtriciapearson2267]

Thank you so much for this! Last night your video came on after a book binding video from another channel. I truly feel Jesus was speaking to me through you. I mean, I couldn’t even like or see your channel icon. When I tried, all I could see was the red bar, and a pause button. All the while, hearing the voice in my head saying, "don’t bother; just listen!" May God bless you and continue to work through you, to help others. I so needed this! My homeschool has been getting so jumbled up with satins confusion. Praise Jesus, for ministering through you, and thank you for allowing Him to use you.❤😊

I geared up when you said "I am the curriculum" This video, all of it touched my heart and yes, I’ve felt the same when I’d think of my son being in school for 7-8 hours it didn’t fell well with me. I will start homeschooling in 2 days and I’m so ready. I’m so invested in my kids the more I learn about homeschooling. I’ve decided not to make it like the traditional school of make it stressful for any of us. I made a "schedule" but am well aware that each subject just does not have to take an hour, but I’m more excited about learning what they live and go on that. They like learning new languages. I just really want to make it fun for all of us. So excited. Thank you so much for this, I really connected with your words. ❤❤❤❤

why did this video make me cry?! i love you! thank you for this! i’ve struggled with this perfectionism mindset in most areas of my life & it has caused such immense anxiety & it has also caused me to miss out on creating joyful memories & relationships with my children. I was diagnosed with OCD as a teenager and so The Lord has been really helping me deal with it and overcome this. God is speaking through you in this video! You are anointed!

[@CourtBuch]

I first found your OG channel when I was searching youtube to help prepare myself for bootcamp! lol and now I'm trying to prepare and get an idea of how homeschool works for when I have children 💗could you do a video on homeschool in regards to what "needs" to be done each year in order to stay on track and graduate? does that make sense? lol My husband was home schooled his whole life but I did public school so I have no idea where to even start or how things are being kept track of

[@Youmayhavepeace]

That depends a lot on your state! Some states have yearly testing. Mine does not. I’d check out local groups on Facebook for homeschooling for details! That’s a pretty loaded question because of all of the variables. And wow you have been around for so long!

[@MamaBearA24]

I came here because my son and I start homeschool/ kindergarten at the end of August. I have never done this before, and I'm so nervous and feel like im drowning. I dont know how to order a curriculum, i want to get a curriculum that fits his learning style, i want him to have extra life experiences with weekly "field trips" where he can learn a hands on approach, the list goes on and on about the things i want for him and how i want to be the best homeschool parent for him. Your video calmed me down and brought me peace. I want to thank you for this. You have a new subscriber ❤

Don't feel bad. I am in the same boat searching and searching for a K and 1st grade

[@nettietrees7238]

Thank you for this. It’s Christmas holidays 2023 and I’m panicking already about the curriculum I’m following, casting about desperately to see if there is the more ‘perfect’ one out there that I didn’t choose. You are right. So I’ve stopped. I’m chilling. I know what we need to do, and we’ll just get on with it and enjoy our time together. Thank you

[@emiliarodriguez7809]

That is what l need right now. I am considering homeschooling, my daughter got straights Fs and that makes me so sad. She is in 2nd grade and not getting the help she needs. She is so sweet and happy kid, just not learning the way they are teaching her. I am English second language speaker, but l graduated from high school and l am sure l will help her more than school. I have faith in God that he will give me the wisdom to teach her. Thank you for making this beautiful video.

[@jennifermartinez8036]

Well this is the very first video I clicked on to see about home school curriculum. I wasn't expecting it to point me to the Lord. ....I have been asking God if I should send my kids to public school which I was leaning towards. Then I had a dream that a woman opened her truck of her car she had home school curriculum then a voice behind me said buy it and file for an affidavit to do a private school because you will regret putting your kids in public school. In the dream I looked and saw my kids were doing things that they were too young for and Chaos was happening at the school that they were attending my husband and I tried to get them and they would not let us I woke up from the nightmare. And I think God was telling me to home school. Them so now I'm looking into buying a curriculum. This was a very encouraging video I thank you for being bold and pointing this to the king.

[@Youmayhavepeace]
