Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. Jeremiah 6:16

Welcome! I’m Jen McBride. Child of God. Wife to one. Mother to 8. Second generation homeschooler. Queen of my home. Reader of Books. Drinker of Tea. Sometimes Writer and Picture Taker. Studier of Reformed Theology and Charlotte Mason Education.  Researcher of Lots of Things. Lover of England, history, health and nutrition, vintage clothing, planning and technology. Thinker of many thoughts.

This blog is dedicated to the pursuit of Truth, Goodness and Beauty as we seek, walk, and rest in the “old paths” of Scripture.

I write here in my sparest of spare moments for mothers like me who are interested in how this applies to the nitty – gritty of daily home life. How does it practically play out in homeschooling, marriage, motherhood, homemaking and the day to day reality? How about when you add illness, weariness, trials and affliction to the mix?

I don’t have all the answers, but I know the One Who does; the One Who can make the impossible, possible; the One Whose strength is made perfect in weakness, and the Source of all that is true, good and beautiful. I invite you to ponder along with me as we seek His ways, care for our families, build our homes and  raise our children for Christ’s Kingdom and glory.

Seek

“…See, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way…”

Walk

“…Walk therein…”

Rest
“…Ye shall find rest for your souls…”

“Thus out of small beginnings greater things hav “Thus out of small beginnings greater things have been produced by His hand that made all things of nothing, and gives being to all things that are; and, as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many...”
William Bradford

Thank you for your example Emily - for so beautifully living this out in your daily, obedient, God glorifying faithfulness.  #vigilforem
"So they committed themselves to the will of God, "So they committed themselves to the will of God, and resolved to proceed." ~ William Bradford
"...they cherished a great hope and inward zeal of "...they cherished a great hope and inward zeal of laying good foundations, or at least making some ways toward it, for the propagation and advance of the gospel of the kingdom of Christ in the remote parts of the world, even though they should be but stepping stones to others in the performance of so great a work." ~ William Bradford
"They brought up their families, in sturdy virtue "They brought up their families, in sturdy virtue and a living faith in God, without which Nations perish." ~ Pilgrim Mother's Monument, Plymouth, MA
Fellow Christians, don’t let the Left shame you Fellow Christians, don’t let the Left shame you into accepting defeat. The media does not get to decide who is the President of the United States. 

Standing and fighting for truth is NOT being a “sore loser”. Recognizing and acknowledging that fraud is being committed, and calling for justice to be served, is not only absolutely appropriate, it’s crucial. There IS a time to stand and fight. There IS a time to draw a line in the sand. 

The election of a President isn’t on the same level as sports. The future of our country hangs in the balance. This isn’t about having a good, fair game and then laughing and shaking hands and slapping each other on the back and continuing with life as usual. 

Nor is this just “politics”. You cannot separate politics from morality. There is right, and there is wrong. The Left stands and fights for things that fly in the face of God. The Left creates gods in their own image. The Left tramples the Word of God. The Left is determined to allow babies to literally be brutally tortured and murdered and offered on the altars of their false gods. The Left has spent months sowing discord, rewriting history, redefining words, rioting, looting, killing, and burning down the country. 

Consider these things before you capitulate to manipulation and gas lighting and blame shifting. 

Consider these things before you try to be a “good sport” and congratulate Joe Biden, or say “God bless him”, or wish him well. Think long and hard about what you are actually doing and whose side you are on: 

“For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 1:11

Pray. This is a war that is being waged in the heavenlies. Stand firm. Draw the line. Hold the line. Fight for truth. Our God is the God of Truth and He wins. The battle is the Lord’s.
