Choose PEACE

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

As we wrap up this month long journey of focusing on PEACE, I want to remind you that PEACE is a choice.

A choice to trust GOD and HIS promises. A choice to believe that HE loves us and HE has a plan for us.

By making the choice to hand our lives over to HIM we will find PEACE.

What are you waiting for? Start trusting in HIM and living in PEACE.

Take a moment to close your eyes, take a deep breath, and reflect on all that GOD has done for you.

Now ask yourself what HE is telling you to do… maybe you’ve been ignoring something you’ve been called to do.

You aren’t stuck unless you stop… GOD will nudge you into the way you should go. One step at a time and you will find that PEACE that your soul is craving.

Step out in FAITH and TRUST that HE will meet you where you are right now.

GOD BLESS!

In a previous post, I mentioned that I am trying to integrate more FAITH into our homeschool. I touched on a few things that I am focusing on for the month of January, but here is the full outline of what I am planning for 2026 and future years.

I am trying to ‘stack’ them with the monthly themes I have come up with for our family. I know that once we develop the habits of incorporating these ideas, then they will become like second nature.

Financial Literacy (January)

We work on our family budgets and get our Bills organized in January so it just makes sense to use this as a teaching moment for the kids.

Some ways we are doing this are:

  • Biblical Stewardship:
    • teaching financial principles through a biblical lens
    • emphasis on the fact that EVERYTHING we have belongs to GOD
    • learning to FAITHfully manage our resources
  • Budgeting & Generosity
    • researching what the Bible says about charity, giving to the poor, and tithing
    • creating budgets that allow us to give to others in need
  • Bible verses related to contentment, greed, money, and giving

Which Calendar Did I Choose?

If you saw the updates to the previous post, then you will know I was having a hard time making a decision about which calendar to use.

Both of them had things I really liked, the vertical one was easier to find a place to put and I really liked the layout.
