This session will make you appreciate your boys as never before!

Psalms 16:11 " You have made known to me the path of life. You will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand."

This session invites women to experience pleasurable moments with God...joy, peace, happiness and righteousness. Joyce invites you to join her in a delightful conversation as we experience the pleasure of His presence.

Because none of it will matter if they don’t follow Christ. Many homeschoolers hope and pray that because they’ve homeschooled, their children will turn out all right.

Find out about the power of delighting in your children and loving them as Christ loves us. Hear how to point them to the Savior and teach them to serve Him!

As moms, we are so used to putting others first - our spouse, our children, our aging parents, our church, our hairdresser's third cousin's next-door neighbor - you get the point!

Come learn the 4 pillars of good health and how to harness the power of habits to get and stay healthy. We'll discuss what's essential, and determine what's "nice but not necessary." We'll also troubleshoot those crazy seasons of life like having a newborn, a family crisis, the holiday season, and more.

The homeschool mom usually has her plate so full that she often finds herself neglecting the important for the sake of the urgent. Trying to balance your time between homeschool, your kids, your spouse, the church, extra-curricular activities, and everything else in between is a difficult task.

This workshop will help you put life back in the proper perspective, deal with the urgent, and put the important one back in his proper place.

Let’s all finish well and prepare our sons and daughters to be responsible adults and servants of the Most High, even when we can’t make them anymore!
