Did you know choosing the train over your car can cut your carbon footprint by up to two thirds?

So, one family outing at a time, one little adventurer at a time, one trip to the museum, one dinner in the city, one nap on the way home at a time.

One train journey at a time can help create a greener future.

So when will you take your next trip? Find out more at nationalrail.co.uk slash greener.

Hi you guys, good morning. Welcome to the show. This is Heidi St. John. I am so glad that you've joined me today.

Today is Monday, the 7th of January. It's mailbox Monday here at the podcast and I'm going to be continuing something I was talking about on Friday, which is embracing God's priorities.

This is taken from a book I wrote several years ago called the Busy Home School Mom's Guide to Daylight, managing your days through the home school year.

So if you're feeling overwhelmed by everything that you have to do, stick around. I think you're going to be encouraged.

Alright, so, couple things before we get started. First of all, I want to say thank you to everyone who's been leaving reviews over at iTunes for this podcast.

It really helps us a lot. If you rate the podcast, leave reviews for it. Share it on social media. Let your friends know about it.

We are so excited about what God's doing over here and we're coming up on a brand new series at Mom Strong International.

So if you're not familiar with Mom Strong International, this is a ministry that we started a year ago.

So it's relatively new with the heart and hope of getting you into God's Word on a deeper level than what you may have been doing already.

So those studies start fresh every Monday. The first Monday in January is when we do it. And so that starts today.

It's not too late to join. You can sign up. They're just $2 a week at momstronginternational.com.

This month's study is called Find Balance and Breathe. Doesn't that sound good in January?

And speaking of finding balance and breathing, I'm going to be coming to Abilene to encourage you for the Heidi St. John Conference.

That is coming up on Saturday the 19th of January. It's not too late to get your tickets for that. Right after that, I will be in Kew's Bay, Oregon for my Women's Conference.

You can bring your daughters. A lot of you have been asking about how old do I think your daughter should be if you want to bring them.

We've had girls come as young as 14 years old and haven't bring their Bible. When you come bring your Bible, bring a notebook.

Be prepared to just soak in the word. We're going to worship or need lunch together. I'm going to have an hour of answers.

Questions and answers. We are just really looking forward to that. I'll be traveling to see you with my entire staff and my husband and our two oldest daughters who help me with worship.
