Hey moms, welcome to my devotional grace for a mom's heart. In the weeks ahead, I'll be reading from my devotional, unhurried grace for a mom's heart, 31 days in God's Word. Each devotional is less than 10 minutes long.

perfectly. But Jesus has us covered where we lack, and we can be confident in our ultimate victory. We are here to please God,

not the voices that condemn and accuse us. That is why it is imperative that we pause, reflect,

and take time to listen to the Lord's voice in every area of our lives, including our homeschooling.

Even if everyone else is doing something or the professionals quote unquote highly suggest

that we do something, we do not have to follow the patterns laid out by the world.

We need to bring our ideas, our plans, our challenges before the Lord,
