Nuggets: Why We Homeschool and Why You Shouldn't
http://sophapilla.blogspot.com/2014/11/why-we-homeschool-and-why-you-shouldnt.html
Tuesday, November 4, 2014. Why We Homeschool and Why You Shouldn't. Over the past couple of years, God has been teaching me this thing about the vast importance of being real. Honest. Even in my ugliness. So here it is: the real truth is that I have spent many years believing that homeschooling is for those who are fearful. Those who couldn’t bear to send their beloved children into the “lion’s den” of the world. Sigh Since when do we, as Mommas, need one more thing to feel judged and insecure about?

Friday, June 29, 2012. Be Careful How You Celebrate A Birthday. True, your little girl only turns 5 once. That being said, if you allow the birthday girl to think she's the star for three days in a row, you just might be setting a bad precedent. For those of you who desire a loving first-week-of-being-five, with snuggles and kisses and gentle whispers of, "Yes, right away, Mommy! Here is a list of what NOT to do:. Day One: Talk all day about the coming slumber party/movie-fest with her 2 besties. Do not ...

Nuggets: The Will
http://sophapilla.blogspot.com/2012/07/will.html
Wednesday, July 4, 2012. There, in the middle of Walmart, it was happening. Again. He had chosen to disobey, and when made to sit in the cart as a result of his actions, the fit began. The screaming, the shaking, the red face. He's always had a very strong will, but this is a new thing. One - this boy who throws an angry fit until he's literally sick from screaming for over an hour, allowing nothing to calm him. What are we supposed to do? The next morning I awoke to this scripture in my email inbox:.

Nuggets: Ten Years and Better Than Ever
http://sophapilla.blogspot.com/2012/05/ten-years-and-better-than-ever.html
Friday, May 18, 2012. Ten Years and Better Than Ever. Ten years ago today I married this man. He is the love of my life; the one my heart loves. I never could've imagined where the last ten years would take us and I wouldn't change it for the world. I especially never knew how watching him be a tender, loving, so-much-fun Daddy could cause me to fall more in love than ever with him. I am looking forward with great anticipation to all the new adventures God will bring us together! Posted by Kelly T.

Wednesday, May 23, 2012. Remember the Dora bedspread. That girl dresses herself now. I realize what a hypocrite I will be when I. Admit this, but she actually wore her Disney Princess pajamas to Kohl's with me last night. To all the moms I judged pre-children for allowing their kids to look like this when out in public, I sincerely apologize. I now realize how important it is to help them build confidence through making their own choices. Posted by Kelly T. I am soooo with you! May 25, 2012 at 10:35 PM.

Nuggets: The Choice
http://sophapilla.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-choice.html
Monday, January 14, 2013. Oh Lord God. To find thanks in my trial. This is so hard, Father. To be joyful for this. This gnashing of teeth, these anger-filled words, this moment of screaming so loud that my voice catches, breaks. And little ones, Father. Six precious eyes so big, gazing, gaping wide. Lips protruding with quivers. They are still, those bodies that wriggle and squirm and run all day, they are still. Silent. And yet, to find thanks for tears falling, too? For tender hearts that probe my.

Nuggets: Love Wild
http://sophapilla.blogspot.com/2013/04/wild.html
Wednesday, April 17, 2013. Something is brewing big in this heart of mine. Something wild and untamed. Something that cries for more of God and more of His love and to just BE love in the midst of all. this. chaos. Such a mess we are, this world. Two weeks have passed and still I pray. What would you have me do, Lord? What would you have US do? The thoughts that rush through this skull of mine cannot be stilled. Yet Satan is fighting back. Fear lingers. While we wait and listen, we know that HE knows.
