Hey Mama,

Can you teach every subject? Yes, if that is what God has called you to do, but you don't have to. You may find that a co-op, online course, or some other means may help you teach subjects you're not comfortable teaching. Don't forget to read the magazine online or on the go for tips on homeschooling, too, whether you're teaching reading, writing, 'rithmetic, or something else.

Just a quick reminder. It's so important to open your day up with thanksgiving and praise to the King of kings. It's because of Him that we even woke up this morning. It's through Him that we find our joy, gain wisdom, and live our lives to bring Him glory. No conflict is too difficult, no circumstance too great, no web is too tightly woven to start off your day worshiping the Lord Jesus. Put it all aside--the stresses, the sadness, the busy-ness, the problems, the bustling plans--just for a moment. Are they really bigger than He is? Should they take priority? Not at all. HE is our first priority. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and praise, even now. Eyes up.

Eyes up, Mama.
