Intentional Inspirations Newsletter - 10/17/20
Hello,
I'm praying that each of you are well and finding your joy and peace in the Lord! This past week I met up with several other homeschool moms and went to a local pumpkin ranch. We had so much fun! But the best part of all was seeing a couple of my teens having fun - smiling and laughing - together with some other kids.
The past 8 months have been very hard on my teens, who really enjoyed getting together once a week with the youth at church. When COVID hit that all changed and the days and weeks that followed have been so very hard. So seeing the smiles and hearing the laughter of two of my teens as they had a fun field trip with kids they had not met before, filled my heart to overflowing. It was the medicine I needed and I thank the Lord for these ladies!
The moms even had a little fun. They had this corn crib filled with corn. It was so comfortable to sit in and lay down in. This was good medicine for me too. I didn't realize how much I needed a day away, having some fun with some other moms. We are already planning our next field trip next month sometime!
The Lord showed me something this week. I can't stop living! I can get so caught up in what is going on in our world, in the fight to maintain our freedoms, that I fall into worry and fear. So I am so thankful for this week and how the Lord encouraged me and my kids. Now I want to encourage you! Don't allow our current circumstances to get you down. We serve a God who is in control. When we get our eyes on Him, the stuff that we deal with that tend to worry us and make us fear, starts to fall away in comparison to God's majesty. I challenge you this week to plan something fun with your family. Get outside in God's creation with some friends or family -- laugh, smile, sing, enjoy one another. We have so very much to be thankful for!
If you haven't joined me over on Substack, you should! It has been a lot of fun for me to have a more informal place to write. Besides the Revelation study going on over there, I usually do one other post during the week on whatever topic the Lord lays on my heart to write about. PLUS, all the Intentional Inspirations newsletters that I send out every Saturday are archived over there for you to read at your leisure! Enjoy!
Here are a few links for you to check out this week:
Health Freedom & Vaccine Info With Sheri - If you are interested in learning more about health freedom and vaccines, I created another group over on The Jump. I really created it for myself to have a place to share what I am learning, resources, files, videos, etc., on health freedom and then share them with others. If you are interested, hop on over and join!
The Wave (free PDF here) - I can't recommend this book enough. I read it aloud to the kids this past week and it brought up so many good discussions. We talked about what happened in the book is happening today. We drew many, many parallels that we need to learn from. If anything, it will open your eyes so you are aware of what is going on, so that you can stand for what is true and right. Highly recommended!
Berry Coconut Crisp (THM:S) - This is such a yummy breakfast (or dessert) and the cooler weather makes me want to break out this recipe again soon. Enjoy!
Why Christians Must Stand and Vote - This is an excellent podcast with Heidi St. John and a pastor from California. Our country is at a crossroads and it is so important that we get out and vote!
In the Word - Intentional Bible Study Series, Vol. 1 - Have you checked out my In the Word Bible study series? Each book covers a portion of the Bible, with the passage to read each day and places to record what you learned!
COVID-19 Vaccine Concerns - This is a flyer that the Kansans for Health Freedom group put together. It lists some of our major concerns, along with a link to the KSHF site where you can read more details on each concern. Please do your research before making a decision!
Parenting Pivot Challenge - Sign up for this 2 week challenge for parents, with 14+ expert speakers on various topics like mental health, prayer, discipleship, school, etc. A video will be posted every day that you can watch for 24 hours for free.
Praying for each of you, that you are finding your rest, your hope, your strength, in Jesus alone!
Take care. Don't fear. Trust God!
Blessings,
Sheri
P.S. Books I am reading: The Tuttle Twins and the Hyperinflation Devastation (aloud to the kids), Marxianity, Socialism: The Real History from Plato to the Present, and Vaccination Is Not Immunization: The War On Children.

ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT MEDICAL FREEDOM?
Our freedoms are being threatened all across this country and across the whole world. Vaccine mandate laws are being pushed through that take away the rights of parents to choose the health care of their children. If you want to research this issue, I encourage you to check out this resource page. I also want to offer you this Vaccine Hesitancy Review document (PDF file) that does a good job of summarizing the issues: Vaccine Hesitancy Review.pdf
