    Hi everyone,

    For a number of years now I have been battling what the doctors call “involuntary movements” on my right side of my body, specifically in my arm and let. On Friday I will be going to a hospital about 2 hours from where we live. First the prayer request, 3 of the 4 kids will be staying with friends locally. Our 12 year old son will be coming with us. Please pray for safety for all of us as we are apart. Next please that God will give wisdom to help me with this. Finally, please pray for peace for me. I am really stressed out with all of this going on. Not to mention scared. Cry

    Now for the help with homeschooling. My oldest daughter is 14, but much of the time she acts more like a 5 or 6 year old. Now, she does have high functioning autism (PDD-NOS) and I do take that into account and can deal with that part, but she doesn’t even try at times. I have written out a daily check list for her to know exactly what has to be done each day, but it isn’t working. She looses it or gets so wrapped up in what she wants to do she flat out won’t do it. I have tried taking priviledges from her, but she doesn’t care. I am already stressed out as it is with what I am facing. What can I do? I would really appreciate any help I can get. Thank you everyone and God bless!

    Hi Malissa,

    I will continue to pray for you and your family.

    Per your second question, my husband and I really have to focus (and re-focus) on the fact that academics is only part of education.  CM relays it as “the atmosphere of the environment, the discipline of habit, and the presentation of living ideas.”

    SCM has a free book called Smooth and Easy Days to get people started:

    They also have one called Education is an Atmosphere, a Discipline, a Life.

    These are powerful tools when taken together with the Word of G-d and continued prayer.

    Blessings,

    Richele

    My prayers are with you and your family in this time of need.  Know that you are loved.

    Also, I don’t know your health story or what you’ve done but I know that my chiropractor as healed many patients who have had issues with different sides of there bodies not working the way they could and now they are totally healed?  Just a thought if you are looking for more.  I don’t know where you are at.  Good luck this is a time of patience maybe a day or so break from it all would be helpful?  Love
