True Rest for the Weary Homeschool Mom (Summer Audioblog Series)

I love how there has been an emphasis recently within education, especially in classical circles, on restful-learning. As I have pondered what “rest” means in my own life (not just in my home education), I return over and over again to the concept of resting from my own workings and attempts to earn God’s favor by being awesome.  My rest is found by relying on the accomplished work of Jesus Christ for my identity. The hard news that I will never be “good enough” drives me to repentance and humility. The blessedly amazing news of grace drives me to doxological shouts of joy. Welcome to this week’s installment in the Homeschool Conversations with Humility and Doxology summer audioblog series!
