Sunday Interview: Author of "Read For The Heart"

This weekend at the Mom Heart Conference Raleigh, North Carolina, I got to take a few minutes to interview Sarah Clarkson, Author and Speaker.

We talked about her new book, "Read For The Heart." Sarah has a love for books and knowledge. It was refreshing to meet a young person who is in love with words. And she has a passion for sharing her knowledge with others.

You can follow Sarah on her website at Story Formed. Again, her mother is the formidable Sally Clarkson of I Take Joy and Whole Heart Ministries.

There seems to be a theme here: The take away for me and it has been on my own heart lately - What am I doing that I can leave as a legacy? Family. My Children. There is a whole lot more to it for each of us. For me, it means something outside of myself. Something beyond products and consumerism. Something more than as our former pastor, Jeff Clark, says, "Something besides someone always serving me!" You can check out his amazing sermon on "The Gospel According to Wall Street" here.

"How do you become rich in good deeds?! Pre-determine how much you are going to give away!" Jeff Clark @church 2 Cor. 9:6

Have a blessed Sunday! Edited into "Works For Me Wednesday!" because Reading works for all of us! Follow more Whole Heart Ministries.


Have a blessed Sunday!

North Carolina Homeschool Moms Conference

2010 is shaping up nicely! And I have something exciting to share with you. In March, March 12, 2010, there will be an awesome Mom Heart Conference.

"Hearing the best of God's heart for Motherhood!" by Sally Clarkson

Whole Heart Conference, Raleigh, North Carolina

Love Sally Clarkson's "I Take Joy" blog. There are so many wonderful topics there. She shares about family, faith and her heart for homeschooling and moms in general. Check her out. And plan to see her in person this March.

Believe me, there are so many calls and demands upon moms in today's society. It is refreshing and encouraging to meet a mom who encourages us to serve our families. Raise our children as unto the Lord. And more.

Will you attend the Conference? Check out her books and resources at the very least.

Warmly,

She Homeschools!

She Homeschools!

The 2008-2009 school year has been a major milestone in the life of our family. It was just this year that we began walking a journey that we began step-by-step years ago.

For some time I have considered when to share with my readers a little more of what is going on with our family. Now seems like a great time because we have a fun Giveaway going on that I will share shortly.

Already this has been an exciting Homeschooling semester. And we are ready to whisper it from the rooftops - She Homeschools! Truly more accurately "We" Homeschool because I must say Mountain Man is playing an outstanding role as our Principal, Coach, and awesome Science Guy.

Homeschooling our twin, second grade sons has been an awesome blessing to our entire family. It's nice we all wanted to embark upon this journey, six months into it and I can tell you so far we have all l.o.v.e.d it. We have been incredibly blessed in following the road the Lord has led us to walk. It has been such a joy to be with our children and teaching them day-to-day.

Eventually we will definitely be sharing resources, ideas, and more specifics in the days ahead.

For now, guess what, I have a great opportunity to attend a Whole Hearted Conference. The Clarksons have written many books regarding, family, homeschooling, etc. Here's a bit from their website about them:

Since its birth in 1994, Whole Heart Ministries has been dedicated to helping Christian parents raise wholehearted children who will live for Christ. The Clarksons have served in full-time ministry for over 25 years, both as single adults and as a married couple, in overseas missions, discipleship ministries, and in church ministry. Whole Heart Ministries brings to full expression the convictions and messages they have cultivated and taught since the late 1980s.

This is for families, not just homeschoolers. The Clarksons have agreed to participate in "Win It Wednesday" with a Giveaway of their book Educating the Whole Hearted Child.

This book is phenomenal. I cannot tell you enough about it. There are so many pracitcal ideas that they share that you can incorporate right into your family life. "Educating the Whole Hearted Child" was instrumental in our understanding home education.

Best of luck to one fine winner.

To Win:
1) Go check out their website: Whole Heart and tell me one thing that strikes you about it.
2) Leave a comment here and you're in; and
3) If you want an extra entry, feel free to spread the word about this awesome ministry by linking on your own site.
BONUS: Tell me if you Homeschool or not - either answer qualifies. :)

Good Luck!

That's it for what "Works For Me Wednesday!" find and share other tips @ WFMW.
