No curriculum

Q: I heard we Biblical homeschooling doesn’t need a curriculum.


A: I don’t believe in a curriculum as much as a method of teaching. Every child is different. To write a curriculum that will suit every child would be to whip up a menu that will suit every child. It’s just not right. And not possible. The Bible is the textbook, yes. Everything else is just supplementary. Grab your materials and arrange according to Genesis to Revelations. Then look for appropriate content suitable for each of the other books of the Bible. There’s no one way to do it. It’s like cooking— Use what you have, buy what you don’t have.


That being said, I don't believe in Unschooling, either, because this this verse: Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it." 


I believe in JesusSchooling -- the homeschooling method I was talking about earlier. Cover the Bible from cover to cover with the kids each year. Read my post about JesusSchooling if you wish to know more: https://annire.blogspot.com/2024/09/jesusschooling.html

Couple Disagreements -- To Move or Stay Put?

It's not up to either of you nor is it our place to advice you. You both need to pray and seek the Lord for guidance on this. The Lord has led us as a family from one place to another. There is a time to move and there is a time to stay put. Ask the Lord for guidance. Also, submission to your husband and saving your marriage is more important than money. How to Pray: Both of you, go to a room, whether alone or together, close your eyes, ask God to give you guidance on whether to move or stay, and ask Him for a book, chapter and verse. Then wait for it with eyes closed. Wait for the book, chapter number and verse number. Read the whole chapter anyway, including the key verse.  It's hard the first few times but you'll get it over time, do it everyday as devotion. Get a notebook or Google Drive to write down what God is saying. Then match your verse and understanding with his. After a few days, you kind of know where this is going.

How to Fast the Right Way

First of all, motive. Fast to draw close to Him, and don't let anyone know that you're fasting. Matthew 6:16-18  For a Full Fast: Just tell them that you're taking some time off will be booked on those dates and can't be contacted during those periods.  Turn your phone on silent mode. It's basically only for emergencies, or else, don't answer at all. Lock yourself in your room. Matthew 6:6-7 Drink lots of water if you're going on a full fast. If you're living with others, only go out of the room to get more water. What you actually do: No work, no play, just fast and pray. And worship and Word and talk to Him and draw close to Him. And write down what He says. Do your devotion.

Angry Spouse

Lack of sleep is one of the causes. Another is hunger. I know it's simple but if we pay attention to these two things, it is surprising how different a human can be. Try to have meals on the table an hour earlier i.e. 11am lunch 5pm tea. Because I realized that my hubby gets angry just before lunch and just before tea. And snack at 10am and fruit breaks at 3pm helps a ton. Just pay attention to the times he gets angry -- usually before meals. My husband also had a snoring issue. He had chronic sleep apnea but improved so much when he's on the cpap. He can last without the CPAP if I turn him to face down on the pillow until he can breathe normally while he sleeps.
