Blessings on you from the Elliott family! Thank you for subscribing, and we hope you enjoy today’s newsletter. Good morning and happy Monday! Making plans is one thing, but carrying them out consistently, day after day, is quite another. It takes some self control, but it also takes wisdom, to make sure our method isn't ridiculous, causing
us more trouble than it's worth. Good mentors really help with this, so let's talk about that today. My goal is to bring a little bit of Scripture, a sprinkle of encouragement, and a dash of hope to your day.

The point is for you to take a break from crazy living, just long enough for a sip of
joy.

If she had no family, she was in real trouble! Continue Reading

Homeschooling takes a lot out of a parent, no question. I homeschooled my children from 1988 through 2004 when our youngest finished; so for sixteen years. Someone asked me how I
kept going without getting burned out. Well, everyone gets burned out at some point; you keep going even when you don’t feel like doing it anymore. As adults do. But usually burn out lasted for just a season; there are six things I did regularly which helped. Read More

Ways to Market Your Blog PostsBy Anne Elliott, October 18, 2012, e9designs.com
Many website owners have the false idea, “If we build it, they will come.” We work so hard on our websites
that we can’t understand why visitors don’t share our excitement. We forget that people are busy. We need to authentically share with them, meeting their needs, if we want them to visit again and again. Beyond that, there are some very specific steps that we can take to promote our blog posts.
