Welcome to our new LOLACHE members! We’re so glad to have you join us and look forward to ‘seeing’ you in the forums.
Marilyn and I have been talking about the wonderful growth and testimonies we’ve been reading and hearing about. We’re so glad that so many are finding freedom and hope in their home education and in the beginnings of reconciliation in their families!
We thought you would like to see some of the encouraging testimony crossing our desks lately.
“I am so grateful to be able to raise my younger children with Lifestyle of Learning™ principles! God has done much to restore my relationship with my older daughters who have moved out, even though there is still much to do. But with my younger ones still at home, I am listening to my conscience to connect with each one of them. During the course of this last year, they all testify to how different I am and how happy they feel, knowing I no longer get angry with them and put false expectations on them. I’m showing them each the specific and lavish expressions of love that they need. I am affirming their own individual learning processes so they all love learning. I teach them how to relate to each other with kindness and forgiveness as I’m learning from the Love’s Actions Seminars. Now they play, work and spend time together beautifully!” E.B.
“Today I have been reading Seasons, Gods Time-Design. It is such a gift to my spirit and such a freeing realization to read:
‘Within a new framework of four seasons, rather than 12 grades, there is freedom to operate and simplicity by shedding a load of superfluous subject matter. It is absolutely essential to acquire a seasonal mindset that will free us to de-school our lives while at the same time give us the needed framework of reference in which to work.’
Thank you, Lord, and thank you, Marilyn Howshall, for this realization and the removal of my burden! Removing the grade levels and allowing the healing of the brokenness caused by years in the system while allowing true discipleship is so freeing! Focusing on our relationships and allowing the time needed to learn how to relate rightly with one another while in the midst of natural learning is truly exciting! I feel so blessed to have found Lifestyle of Learning™!!” R. S.
“I am really enjoying the mini-coaching programs. Thank you for the time you put into them, Marilyn and Barbie.” E.G.
“I surely have enjoyed all the LOLACHE materials! As many ladies say, I just can’t get enough of them. We have so much to learn and un-learn!” L.G.
“I loved these free Action Steps for Beginners audios! They’ve answered so many questions I had rolling inside of me! I am released from a lot of confusion and guilt over what not to do and what to do. The discomfort of creating a void by letting go of schoolish activity is gone, because of the description of how to more naturally fill it. I’m encouraged to know I started down the right road in many specific ways and have more I can do! Thanks!” S. M.
I want to encourage you moms that change can happen rapidly in your family too, if you make the time to renew your mind and work on your lifestyle. Keep cooperating with the Lord in making changes and improving your relationships!
The Lord has so much in mind for you and your family! Press into Him and you will see the miraculous works of His hands unfold in your life. That makes me think of this passage and our prayer for you:
“My response is to get down on my knees before the Father, this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth. I ask him to strengthen you by his Spirit—not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength—that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in. And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you’ll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ’s love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God. God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!” ~ Ephesians 3:14-20 The Message
Blessings!
