Preparing for Your Homeschool Year (Even If You Don’t Feel Ready) 🌿 With faith, flexibility, and a whole lot of grace

Feeling behind before the homeschool year even starts? You’re not alone, friend. Whether your books haven’t arrived, your plans feel scattered, or your confidence is shaky—this episode is a gentle hug and a deep breath for your homeschool mama heart.

In today’s episode, I share some of our messiest first days, the years we started late (or not at all), and how God lovingly led me to lay down my hustle and invite Him into the planning. It’s not about perfect charts and tidy shelves—it’s about connection, flexibility, and faith.

We’ll chat about what it looks like to:

• Let go of the pressure to do it all
• Pray over your year and ask God for vision
• Start simple, create rhythms, and make space for grace
• Trust that God equips the called—even when we don’t feel ready

Whether you’re planning with a latte in hand or praying in between diaper changes, you are not behind—and you are not alone.

💛

• You don’t need a perfect start. Messy beginnings are still holy.
• Pray first. Let God speak vision into your year.
• Start small. Focus on 2–3 anchor subjects or rhythms.
• Make it simple. Use what you have. The learning will come.
• Reflect weekly. Adjust with grace and prayer.
• You are called. Not because you're ready—but because He is faithful.

Sometimes hope feels like the hardest thing to hold onto—especially when the ending of your story looks nothing like what you pictured.

In this final episode of our Through the Fire series, I’m sharing how God taught me to hold on to hope—not because I had all the answers or could see the whole plan, but because He was still with me in the unknown.

If you’re standing in the ashes, wondering what’s next, this one’s for you.

Who are you when the title is gone? In this raw and reflective episode of Through the Fire, we explore what it means to rediscover your identity in Christ after the role, the dream, or the achievement you clung to has been stripped away. I’m sharing the personal journey of losing the title “Firefighter,” and the deeper work God did to remind me that my worth isn’t in what I do—but in who He says I am.

If you've ever felt lost in the in-between, this one’s for you. Let’s uncover what was always true: you are still chosen, still called, and still His.
