@milagracesmom Yes and amen! I find that on the days when I actually take the time to ask Him to help me use the time He’s given me well, I am the most productive. Like, days worth of chores done in just a couple of hours. Don’t ask me why I don’t ask him every day. 🫣
@WifeMamaHome@barbieyellow7 Ok, I’m very curious about what supplement it was because I started taking a pretty popular one and now I’m having some things pop up that have never been an issue. Wondering if it’s the same one…
70% of your tithes are going to salaries & buildings - FACTS
Churches are acquiring businesses/ministries & folding them under the church banner 2 avoid accountability - FACTS
It’s a religious money laundering system where a FRACTION of the $ donated is used for actual ministry.
“Do you feel the world is broken?
We do.
Do you feel the shadows deepen?
We do.
But do you know that all the dark won't stop the light from getting through?
We do.
Do you wish that you could see it all made new?
We do.”
Q: "Paul, you're an apostle--what matters most in the men who lead churches?"
A: "Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God’s church? He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil."

Homeschooling in Texas is about to change, and not for the better, thanks to the passage of "school choice:"
*First, the homeschool ESA recipients will be scrutinized.
*Next, when the state or the populace decide that homeschoolers aren't "doing it right," all homeschoolers will be scrutinized.
*There will be calls for more oversight on all homeschoolers in the state.
*Bills will be introduced to impose minimum requirements, assessments, and data collection.
*There may even be bills to impose medical oversight in homes of homeschoolers (like other states have already done).
*Our status as one of the best homeschool states will disappear.
*Homeschool curriculum prices will go up, and some mom-and-pop providers will go out of business, because they can't compete with the state's "approved education vendor" coupons.
*Homeschool co-ops that don't accept ESA money will be shrink, while state-funded co-ops will grow.
*ESA homeschoolers will look at private homeschoolers and demand to have the freedoms we have, which will result in the opposite: the free homeschoolers will be affected by the ESA law until homeschooling in Texas is no longer recognizable.
> But I will not forget. And I hope you won't, either. Freel free to bookmark this post and fact check it in a few years, because that's what I'll be doing. I've been a homeschooler in Texas since 1985, first as a child, and for the past 25 years as a mom. I will not forget. <
