When Your Strength Isn't Enough

Some mornings, you wake up already feeling behind.

The dishes are stacked high, someone’s missing a sock (again), the lesson plans are undone, and your heart feels just as scattered as the breakfast crumbs on the floor.

You want to do this parenting and homeschooling thing well—you care deeply. But no matter how many planners, podcasts, or Pinterest boards you dive into, something still feels...off. Exhausted. Heavy.

That’s because homeschooling—and parenting—was never meant to be powered by sheer will or perfection.

“This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.”
— Zechariah 4:6b (NKJV)

That verse? It’s not just a nice reminder—it’s a blueprint.
Our efforts are valuable, yes. But they are never meant to carry the full weight. God’s Spirit is the real engine behind meaningful growth, wisdom, peace, and fruit in your family life.

That’s why I wrote Equipped to Educate.

It’s a 31-day devotional designed to shift your mindset from striving to abiding. Each day begins with a key scripture, followed by an honest, relevant reflection on how God’s Word applies to your parenting, your homeschool, and your heart.

Every day wraps up with reflection questions and a prayer—so you're not just reading; you're connecting with God in the middle of real life.

You were never meant to carry it all. Let Him lead the way—by His Spirit.

Equipping parents for excellence in home education,
