    Thank you for praying. I had surgery 3 days ago, and am feeling very unprepared for this school year with my four kids. Thank you for reminding me it’s more about his Grace than grades, and our obedience to his call. You are a treasure, and God is using you.

    Abby, I love how raw you are on this space. I know you've mentioned before this past school year wasn't the easiest, but I want you to know even from this side of the screen the fruit God is bring forth from your life is beautiful. Keep leaning into Him. He is for you. We are for you ❤️
    Thank you for the prayer.

    I’m not a big “commenter” on UA-cam, but I’m already crying even as you’re sitting on the floor talking for your intro. I’m just overcome with gratitude for this work and life God has given me. And, your love for both Christ and homeschooling radiates from you in a way that just orients my heart toward His. Every time. Thank you. ❤️

    @leighfurline9960 3 роки тому

    The prayer was beautiful. I got teary eyed. It’s been a difficult couple years for several reasons. My heart is heavy and still hurting from losing my dad this year. Last school year stopped cold and I never regained the energy or brain power to finish. I’m excited to start new yet at the same time I’m not ready, but here we go.

    Abby, you inspire me with all the ways you make your homeschool memorable and fun! You joke about needing to get it together, but girl you have it together! Lol again I'm inspired by how prepared you are and all the little things you think of (t-shirts, sensory bin etc). Truly. Thank you for sharing!

    Can I just day how that prayer touched me. I stopped immediately what I was doing and joined you in that beautiful prayer. You said everything I need to say and then some. Thank you for allowing God to use your words to reach my heart and remind me why and how I do this each day 💞. You are a blessing. I'm praying for our school year, your school year, and every mama's school year!

    I’m definitely crying. Such a beautiful prayer ♡ I’m starting my 3rd year homeschooling my daughter(it’ll be our first “official” year, as she’ll be in 1st grade), and I’m fully relying on God to carry us through each day. Thank you for sharing this time with us ♡

  • @SuperMom3128

    Love love love!! 🥰
    Loved your prayer! Thank you for that! I have been dealing with an illness this past 16 months, and last school year, I spent the entire year not able to do much with my kids. This is our 13th year homeschooling, and I am about to enter the new school year Wednesday, just praying to be able to be the homeschool mom my kids are used to, and really trusting God will lead me and my children, meet us where we're at, and fill in the gaps where I am struggling. Your prayer meant so much to me because my homeschool journey looks far different right now than usual, but I am trusting God is going to meet our needs. 💕🙏🙏

Sometimes the words are hard to come by when trying to pour my heart out in prayer but you put everything that was on my heart into words. Thank you for your dedication to us mamas in this everlasting season of motherhood. God bless you and your beautiful family as a new school year begins.

    Hi Abby. Watching your videos for a couple of years now and Every year you become more inspiring to me. I have felt very scattered this week but your videos have helped me to stay inspired and humbled and motivated for the right reasons. Thank you so much for all that you do that we don’t see behind the scenes for sharing your life with us.

  • @melissawells2502
    @melissawells2502 3 роки тому

    Thank you for that prayer. I cried through it all. It was like you knew exactly what was on my heart for this year. Out church prayed over the teachers and the upcoming school year and I cried along with them yesterday. You summed it up best when you said the moms who are still weary from last year. I've got one kid that challenges me at every turn and I've implemented things I think will help with her this year, and I'm really looking forward to school but I just need to put my trust in Jesus, that he's going before me, and I have been chosen to disciple these 3 kids.

    Also, I'm totally there with you on being weary from the year, not feeling ready to begin but starring in obedience... Thanks for putting it out there... You normalizing it and putting it so well gave me such a peace about not feeling ready to start & starting from that place anyway!! Way to let him use you!! Hope you all have a blessed & beautiful year!!

    Abby, what a sweet prayer - thank you. It brought me tears.
    All your preparations look so wonderful, but I’m most inspired by your “to-do” to pray over the year. The Lord’s been leading me into an even deeper prayer life, so thank you for your inspiration and obedience and boldness to know God and make Him known 💕

  • @elizabethriddle3216
    @elizabethriddle3216 3 роки тому +5
