I dont know if anyone will see this but I just wanted to say that I asked to have my need increased this month because my refrigerator died on me and it cost a little under 400. to fix it. Thank you so much for all of your support! Denise Brass
Im a single homeschooling mom of 5. My husband decided to leave us 2 years ago. I applaud everything you are doing for these families!

Thanks Christi~
May the Father bless you and keep you in his care.
Shalom~
Praise God!!
Welcome to Gleaning the Harvest. Praying for you and your boys.
May YHWH shine his light upon you and your boys with healing and comfort. In Yahoshua.
Melissa,
I am ready and willing to learn, although I would rather it be without pain.
Thank you for the information. I have done the stellate ganglion block, with no improvement, unfortunately. I also did, last February, a 10 day round of ketamine infusions, with no luck. I guess YHWH has more to teach me through this disorder
Thank you for reading my blog, it means a lot to me.
Be blessed
Hi Stephanie – Just starting reading your blog – but I wanted to let you know what helped me tremendously. I also had RSD – and also from a shoulder injury. I suffered for three years with it – the pain was like someone constantly pulling my shoulder out of the socket. I was given a series of 7 or 8 stellate ganglion blocks in my neck – not fun but well worth it. The only time I hurt now at all is if I use my arm too much or try to carry too much. All the constant pain is GONE. You notice it from the first shot — at first for only a little while but increasingly each time, until finally the pain stays gone permanently.
Don’t know if this might work for you but I wanted to share in case it might.
Take care,
Melissa
These are great ideas, Jacque. I’ve been pondering this over for awhile now. I am happy that the giveaway is having some success, and has elicited at least one (that I know of) donation to the families. The next time I plan to do a raffle of some sort, but giveaways are great ways to get the word out there without people feeling obligated.

I have had this and a couple of other posts going about giving. If you have anything to add, based on your experience, please feel free to!!
Thanks for your constant support Leslie. We all appreciate you!
Hello Mrs. Brass. My heart goes out to you and your boys as you work through this new part of your life. May YHWH bless you beyond measure, and if there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to ask.
Be blessed
Welcome Denise! I pray Yah will bless you and the boys through GTH!
Shalom!
Kristi,
I will be praying for your children and you. I too am a single homeschooling mom. I have 5 children and thought my husband would never divorce me. But yes God is faithful and will meet you right where you are and cover everything. He has blessed my children and I abundantly and I know He is bigger then all of this. I pray you and your children will continue to seek His face and that you will be encouraged everyday that you are doing an awesome job for your children!
Christi
Thank you for this Jacque! I am printing this out to remind myself…YHWH is the only one in control
Sometimes we need to hear that everything is going to be okay…
and it will be. Take courage, God is still on His throne!
God Bless
Sister in Christ,
Lisa
Sara,
You are such a blessing, and I so appreciate all the work you put into the afghan. And the prayers are fabulous, keep them coming.
You are right, Yah will bless us, no matter what.
Be blessed!
Stephanie
Hey there stephanie and family. I didn’t quite meet my giving goal for the month of February but still praying for you all and hoping that when the blanket I made for your family will sell soon so you can receive the much needed blessing. God bless you all – Keep positive because You have an Amazing God who meets ALL Needs even when you aren’t expecting it.
I agree totally. I have been a single mom of 3 girls (ages 12, 9, & 7) for 4 years now. The Lord called me to go back to homeschooling 2 years after the divorce. The first 2 years after the divorce, I put my girls in public school and started my own business. The money was great – had no worries. As I felt Holy Spirit leading me to return to homeschooling, I asked Yahweh for confirmation by removing all of my clients. He did just that. Now we live by faith and on the small amount of child support I receive. Not once did the “church” provide me with support of any kind – financial, emotional, or physical (i.e. needing help around the house). I can say without a doubt that Yahwey is faithful to His word and He has provided All of our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. It increases our faith when we go through these struggles. Abundant blessings in Yeshua.
Oh dear Kristi,
My heart was touched with your story and the beautiful way Jesus has made Himself real to you through everything. What an encouragement you are. I will definitely be adding you and your precious family to my list of people to bring before my Lord.
Most sincerely and with His love,
Karilee

Thank you, Karilee! I don’t know how I would make it one day without the prayer support of those God has called alongside us. I hope we can ‘touch’ and get to know each other better. Thank you for the note!
Thank you so much Tami
Many blessings to you!
Welcome Stephanie!
i’m glad to meet you and to add you to my prayers.
Thank you Kristi! I look forward to getting to know you too.
Jacque, I am the blessed one! I pray YHWH blesses you and your family beyond measure in the changes to come for you all.
Welcome Stephanie! I look forward to getting to know you. I am not online much, but hopefully we will be able to connect sometime. You and your family will be in my prayers.
Welcome Stephanie. we have been blessed to get to know you. MAy Yahuveh continue to bless and grow you in him!

Barbara,
My heart goes out to you. I just shared with some single mom friends today, that I’m praying that the Lord would either bring a husband into my life or remove the desire I have to be married.
Your note reminds me that even being married isn’t always the answer.
Check out my blog and read back through it. There are many of us moms out there who are doing it alone. Each one has had to prayerfully find what works for them. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/maggieraye
But first, maybe even more important, begin to pray that during the years time, the Lord will begin to stir your husbands heart toward his family and his children.
Our prayers will be that you don’t have to go through this — but if you do, know that you won’t be alone.
Seek counsel from your church family and rally their support behind you and your children as well.
I would like to know where the store,Mennonite, is near you, I Used to live near Knoxville, tn, and there was one close to where I lives, I loved it, I live in Northeast Alabama now. but would travel ..to shop.. love your blog..
Your are right on Maggie Raye. Well said.

Beautifully said MaggieRaye! I have been very guilty of the same thing, although not through the church. I relied on other people, and not YHWH. I am learning better now.
Thanks for sharing what is in your heart. It is a blessing.
Hey Lizzie,
I’m not sure why it says 0. I just emailed GTH/Jacque to find out what happened. We actually have received gifts totalling $172 thus far. It’s hard to be patient and wait on the Lord’s timing. There are many good lessons being learned through this process for both mother and daughter. I’m sure my son is learning some through observation, as well.
Blessings, MaggieRaye

Hey:) Why does this say zero? I came to check how much she had and it’s a 0;0!
I know she has some towards it:)
Help! my husband has informed me that he is giving me one year, and then he is gone. I home school my two children…a 15 and 13 year old. I know somehow that this is a real threat I just don’t know what to do about it. I have been a stay at home Mom, which is part of the problem he has with me. I have no college to speak of and have recently signed on for two classes…but I’m wondering if that is truly the way to go. I need advice. I think I need to work, but do not know how to figure this one out…The kids have activities Monday, Tuesday night, Wednesday church, and Friday Church. I waitressed but it took everything out of me…I do not know if i can do this again.
Fabulous! I am writing these down.
Kristi,
Praise the Lord that I found this site today. I am praying for you to have faith that our Father, God Almighty can do all He has promised you the day you received your divorce papers. I know this because He restored my marriage (my husband was gone for 5 yrs. 2 months and 7 days) God has completely changed my man’s heart. He freed him from the addiction of smoking and has tempered his temper. We go to Bible Study together, discuss our prayers and desires…something that never happened before. He is a loving daddy now, and enjoys seeing our children grow and develop. In July 2010, we are expecting our first grandchild!
Do not give up hope Kristi! Every person I knew, family and friends, told me to forget about my husband and move on with my life and the lives of our four children…..Thanks be to God that He helped me to hold onto Him, He was my husband and cover till my earthly husband returned.
Thankful & Blessed to be,
Mrs. Michelle McDaniel

Thank you, Michelle. Another message sent just when I needed it most! I am grateful for your testimony. I can’t tell you how much it means to me.
Hello,
My name is Diane, I am a single mom of two. I am a christian woman who strongly believes in Homeschooling and being a homemaker and I have researched it for many years and have viewed website after website about all the different methods and collecting many ideas. I love to do that. I used to home school my youngest daughter, but circumstances and divorce has forced me to work. The Lord has blessed me with a grant and a scholarship to put my daughter in a private Christian School and that is where she has been for several years. We have discussed many times bringing her back home to do a curriculum over the internet and I would add my own idea to it. Teaching her how to be a good keeper of the home. My heart is truly a homeschool mom, I would even like to homeschool my two grandchildren who are in public, but don’t know how I would support myself. I have looked for work in the home to no avail or just doesn’t pay enough. I can totally relate to the story of
MaggieRaye, the web is full of work at home programs but many are scams, overrated or way too expensive and not in my field. I have been searching for a along time. Is now that some woman are making money by blogging or on twitter, I don’t understand all of this or how they do it. I have always wanted to write for the homeschool community, like in newsletters or in a form of magazine, ezine. I love reading them too. I even thought about creating curriculum for Preschoolers as I am an Early Childhood Educator by profession.
I am only doing part time work right now and seriously looking for work at home projects. I would love to bring my daughter back home if we can work it out and I would even love to homeschool someone else’s child who couldn’t. If anyone here could give me suggestions or even lead me in the right direction as to what other single moms are doing at home, I would so appreciate that. I would love to start a blog too and teach my teenage daughter how to also. I also wanted to know is there a way or do you know of a way that young homeschool girls of the same beliefs and learning to be a keeper of the home can connect and become friends, How would I get my daughter started in sharing with other young girls even if they live far apart? My daughter is 15, loves to read and write, photography, scrap booking, animals, wedding planning, sewing, and doing things on the computer. She wants to be a Wedding/party Planner in the future and do something with Photography. She would love to meet other young girls in the homeschool community. Thank you for hearing me out.
Thank you for all that you do to help single families. Many blessings to you
Diane.

Diane,
For as many single moms as there are out there homeschooling, each has found a different way to do it from home. I know one mom who is an editor, another is a web designer, another sells on eBay. My first suggestion is take it before the Lord and commit it to Him. Trust in His provision. Step out on faith as Peter stepped out of the boat, and don’t look around or you will start to sink. I will try, soon to post a set of links to blogs by other homeschooling single mothers. In the mean time please stop by my blog and see what you may find for encouragment there.

Hi Mrs. Davis,
I just wanted to let you know that you and your family are in my prayers! The Lord is ever faithful and knows every need you have. He doesn’t let those who trust in Him down. Ever! I know that it must be emotionally, physically and spiritually hard raising eight children as a single parent. But those who trust in Him are never alone. He never leaves us or forsakes us. I encourage you to keep leaning on Him, following His will and believing in His generous provision. He is a God who answers our “kneemail”! Praying for your endurance, strength, provision, patience, marriage restoration and joy. May the Lord Jesus bestow all those and more upon you, your husband and your children. Many blessings in His name! Please stay encouraged!

Hi,
I appreciate what you are doing for single moms and their families. My husband walked out on our family in 1992 and left me with 5 children 8 years-7 months old to raise alone. My Heavenly Husband has provided in so many ways over the years. I continued to homeschool(since 1989) and the “baby” graduates in May, 2010. I have been a homebased business owner for 17 years. May I suggest some articles on starting a home based business or how to help a single mom start a business, on your web site.
I wish that there would have been something like your ministry available back in the early 90’s. I applaud your work.

I am praying for you!! I also am a single homeschooling mother. God has been so gracious and kind to us over the years. I pray that you will come to know Him more intimately than ever before. Because it is through HIM that all things are possible! I’m proud of you for taking on the challenge of staying home and continuing to homeschool your children. I look forward to hearing testimonies of His goodness and grace in your lives!
