Simply Living for Him

God created seasons in nature. They show us His order and also His purposes. One season on the calendar depends on the next and there is often growth in different ways through each season. And just like in nature, God has created different seasons in our lives. We can't stop them but we can walk with Him through each one, whether a season of struggle or a season of praise. Join me!

In the day of digital communication and social media, we have fallen into one-dimensional relationships rather than deep and multi-dimensional living. We aren't getting to know people as we used to.

Yes, I am still homeschooling and haven't thrown in the towel, but after 18 years of homeschooling, we have definitely changed how we homeschool. We no longer make homeschooling the center of our life and try to make life fit into our homeschool. But rather, we live life and then fit our homeschool into our real-life learning. Having graduated two and another this year, I feel confident in this way and know that keeping God at the center has truly been the most important thing we could do. Join me!

As the year comes to a close I have been thinking about this question quite a bit...what would my life look like if no one told me what it should look like? Except for God, of course. Let's face it, the world is bombarding us with daily information that influences us more than we realize. But in the end, our time with the Lord will really determine how we live. The enemy wants us to keep up with Joneses so we don't keep up with God.  Listen in and be encouraged today to tune out the noise of this world and let Him dictate all you do.

Let's talk about Christmas- the enemy wants nothing more than to take a good thing and distort it. At a time when we are supposed to focus on all that this Advent season is, we make it about stress and busyness and "stuff." I am sharing how we have dealt with this.

It is so easy to get caught up in a complaining mindset. Yet, the Bible tells us we should do ALL things without complaining. Not just when things go our way. Not just when we have a good day.

"You can't take it with you."  My Grandma always said this and it's part of the legacy that she passed down to me. As we have lived as a self-employed family for over a decade, we have seen the benefits of this lifestyle and know we aren't building a pension, or a bank account, but the Kingdom. Nothing I pass down to my family will ever last, but our greatest treasure is in things that can not be taken from us.

Let's face it. In today's culture, the perfect home is glorified. The aesthetics are everything. The decor needs to stay on trend. And for many of us, we look around our homes and feel defeated. Yet, we are a society of abundance. We have more than we need. We should be thankful for the roofs over our heads and the places we call home. Today I have a special guest, Jenny Nanninga, joining me as we talk about normalizing "normal" homes. Jenny lives in a smaller home with five children and gives a beautiful perspective on being content with what you have (even when discontentment creeps in) and gives practical advice for those of us to remember the purpose of our homes– our dwelling place. Make sure to listen to the end to hear her beautiful statement on this. About Jenny: Jenny is a wife and mother of five daughters living on the Central Coast of California. She and her family strive to love out God's calling on their lives to homeschool, serve the church, and love the world through hospitality while living small, in just 800 square feet! They love adventuring outdoors, exploring God's creation, pretending they have a small farm in suburbia with their chickens, cats, and dogs, and reading ALL the books. Jenny writes for different publications with a focus on homeschool, motherhood, and biblical womanhood. It is her desire to point others to Christ and to help them grow in their understanding of scriptures and to live fully in all that God has called them to.

We've got a lot to chat about today! I am starting out by sharing about the incredible difference in our school year this year! Then we are talking about something everyone deals with- the comparison trap.

We are recapping a bit from last week to build on today's message. If you want to live more simply, focus on what you believe about God. Go to the Word and focus on the truths of Who He Is and it will change how you live.

Be encouraged to walk through any season of life with peace as you walk with the One who gives peace.

We are having a little fun today talking about how I am NOT a type-A personality. I am a free-spirited, fly- by-the-seat-of-your-pants visionary who has to work hard to be disciplined and organized. And in a world that often feels like everyone is perfectionistic, I am not necessarily. Yet, we all have strengths and weaknesses and God works in us to either enhance our strengths or help our weaknesses. We all need to work with how God created us and join together as one body who ultimately will glorify God in all we do!

In Matthew 6:25-34 Jesus tells us not to worry. He tells us to seek God first and He will give us all we need. This is not so easy to do as gas prices rise, grocery prices escalate, and our bank accounts are draining. Yet, Jesus tells us that our Heavenly Father knows what we need. So let's stop normalizing worry and normalize following God.

So many of us fall into the trap of living for some arbitrary time in the future and say, "I'll be content when..." But we have so much to do right now at this moment. There is so much to learn from Paul's life- while in jail he wasn't waiting to be released to get busy for the Gospel and neither should we. Don't wait for the perfect conditions to live the life you have in front of you right now. Listen in, be encouraged, and seek Him first. That mindset will change everything.

According to the world, I am not really successful. I haven’t climbed any corporate ladders, achieved a certain financial bracket, or even have any letters after my name. But when we look at the Bible, there is a definite distinction about what defines success. If you are feeling like you haven’t achieved everything the world esteems as achievement, be encouraged today as we look at where our true success lies.

This year has not gone according to plan, or shall I say, according to our homeschool plan. But perhaps it has gone just how God has planned. He has been near and life has been our best teacher. If you're in a place where you feel like you've failed or the year hasn't gone according to plan- whether you are a homeschooler or not- come listen and be encouraged that when things seem to fall apart, God redeems and puts them back together.

This week I realized enough is enough. Come and listen to this HUGE realization I had in the midst of dealing with some personal issues. Also, I mentioned at the beginning of the episode that I was going to talk about our school year and the challenges we faced this year, but I ran out of time...so that will be another episode!

It's been a whirlwind lately. Join me to hear all that is going on with family, farm life, and my faith. Then we will talk about finishing it all well. This time of year, I am always looking ahead to the next homeschool year saying, "I'm done with this year. But NEXT year will be the year where I finally get it together. Next year will be our best year." Ha. That perfect year never came after 16 years of homeschooling. Life is full of changes and challenges and we must live in the present and finish well, and not look ahead waiting for better times. Join me today as I encourage you to finish well in whatever season you are in.

Join me today as we talk about what it's been like to homeschool for almost 17 years, and launch two into adulthood. Every season of parenting has its ups and downs, but each is so beautiful in its own way. Most importantly, don't get caught up listening to the voices in the world that you miss out on hearing God's voice on this journey.

Let's talk about a sensitive topic. We all know those people- the ones who always "one-up" others. They always seem to have done it better. Or have more. They always try to outdo you. Or maybe you've done it. Point the conversation back to yourself. Competing a little bit on the inside. Comparing. Today we are digging into Romans 12:9- 10, where it tells us to really love others genuinely and to "outdo" one another by honoring them. We are going to look at others in a whole new light and understand how to truly love others. The outcome will be a lot less mental drama and, instead, real relationships with others as God intended them to be.

When our lives begin to swirl out of control from chaos and clutter, we often want to just throw in the towel. We get paralyzed with stuff, and we end up doing nothing. Today I am sharing a time when I wanted to give up (well, several actually!) and what God did to show me I was focused on the wrong things. I believe this will automatically simplify your life, and help you to find peace in this often chaotic world. Make sure to listen all the way to the end for some encouragement and focus before you throw in the towel!

Today I have a special guest! My hubby and I decided to sit down and do an impromptu episode, but things did get a bit serious, as we talked about life around here the past two years, letting your daughter leave home and get married from a dad's perspective, and seeing how we handle things QUITE differently, yet God leads us in all.

Today is a sort of "podcast mash-up." I am sharing on a few different topics- homeschooling didn't save my children, simplifying once and for all in the new year, and most importantly, the BIGGEST parenting epiphany I have ever had!

I encourage you to reflect on the year behind and what God has allowed in your life- the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I have heard from many ladies lately that friendships have been a struggle. Add in a pandemic and it gets even harder. We all struggle at times with loneliness, comparison, and even a bit of drama. But, women that are following the Lord together, keeping God at the center of their friendship, and building one another are beautiful to behold. We aren't supposed to look like the world, but women of God. Listen in and be encouraged to cultivate God-honoring relationships in your life! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/12/15/friendships-the-good-and-the-hard/

It's too easy in the age of the Internet to take your eyes off of Jesus and onto others. We compare our lives to others and before we know it, we have wasted time trying to live a life we weren't called to live. God wants you to follow His plan and purpose for YOUR life and to glorify HIM in it! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/12/10/stop-living-someone-elses-life

Before you get caught up in the gifts, shopping, decorating, parties, and ALL the stuff, remember: This year's must-haves are next year's garage sale items. If you want to keep clutter out of your Christmas, I am giving you a Scripture today to keep you grounded! Listen in and be encouraged to have a meaningful Christmas with a focus on Jesus! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/12/01/keeping-clutter-out-of-christmas/

With the holiday season approaching it’s easy to get caught up in what the world shows us hospitality should look like. But there is a big difference between entertaining and hospitality. One focuses on “look what I can do!” The other focuses on “what can I do for you? “ People will remember how they feel in your home far more than your decor or perfect recipes. Let’s discuss how we can share Jesus with those who enter our doors! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/11/20/entertaining-vs-hospitality-what-matters-most/

Many of us feel helpless and even hopeless these days, but I want to remind you of the way to see the Light in the middle of it all! I've just come out of nine days of isolation and have learned many lessons about finding the light in a dark world. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/11/11/finding-light-in-a-dark-world/

I am back from the biggest milestone of our lives so far- my daughter's WEDDING! And with such big milestones, comes a change in perspective. I have been thinking a lot about how much time I have left in this earthly life and getting rid of junk–mind, body, and spirit. Come and join me as we talk about the importance of what we fill up on in our lives. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/10/29/no-more-junk-a-fruitful-mind-body-and-spirit

As the news headlines tell us we are facing shortages of goods and more wait times for things we "need" I am trying to get back to simple more than ever these days. Because the mindset of filling our lives with stuff and having it instantaneously can also spill into our spiritual lives. We think we need to be filled with things other than God. We also find ourselves impatient when God may want us to wait on His timing. In these pandemic times, I think we have really been given a chance to get back to what truly matters most. Join me and be inspired in small ways that can make a big difference in your life. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/10/18/its-more-important-than-ever-to-get-back-to-simple

When we seek perfection, sometimes we may take God out of the equation. In our earthly life, we will never achieve perfection. In fact, we may just realize that God wants us to go to Him with our imperfections. Join me as we talk about finding freedom from perfection. https://zb362.infusionsoft.com/go/fitting/karendebeus/ http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/10/07/finding-freedom-from-perfection/

As someone who has dealt with fear her whole life, this past year has it rearing its ugly head. But GOD. Today I am sharing how you can be free from fear. The Holy Spirit and its power is the key to extinguishing the spirit of fear which is a liar! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/09/09/fear-is-a-liar

Wow, do I feel like this message is for someone out there- is it you? Listen and let me know. This world is so unsettled, but there is good news- We have the One who settles us all! Life has been so crazy for me lately, and I am sharing my struggles, but also what is grounding me in such an uncertain time. Be encouraged! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/09/04/how-to-be-consistent-in-a-constantly-changing-world--keep-it-simple/

Today we are talking about how I have kept it simple in my homeschool over the past 16 years and the most important thing you can do in your homeschool. When it comes to curriculum, schedules, routines, methods, styles, and more, you will want to do this. Whether you are a homeschooling family or not, these principles will apply to all. Grab a cup of coffee or tea and let's focus on what matters most in your homeschool. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/08/26/how-i-keep-it-simple-in-my-homeschool/(opens in a new tab)

If you are like me, your mind is always going a million miles a minute. Add into that a world filled with chaos and confusion and information overload, and it can steal your peace. But let's look at what the Bible says about where we can find that peace during all the chaos. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/08/20/calm-in-the-chaos--clearing-mental-clutter

It has been another tumultuous few weeks since my last episode. Come hear what has been going on and then listen in to this call for action for each of you! I am excited to see us all do this! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/08/12/a-call-to-action-for-all-of-you/

The past few weeks have been a time of testing, but God is always good. I am sharing today where I have been and all that He is teaching me! Grab a cup of coffee or tea and let's chat. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/07/29/why-i-took-a-break-from-it-all-and-what-i-have-learned/

This week my husband's dear grandmother, age 99, passed away. She was one of the most admired women in my life and the lessons I learned from watching her live life surpassed even the nuggets of wisdom she shared in words. One of the biggest lessons I will remember is when I asked where was her favorite place to be –she had been splitting time between the north and the south at the time– and her response, "My favorite place to be is wherever I am at the moment." Want to hear more? Listen and be inspired by this wisdom from The Greatest Generation. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/07/08/simple-life-lessons-from-the-greatest-generation

Today I am sharing BIG life updates and then we are talking about how to live more simply, share the Gospel, and live with purpose in this crazy upside-down world. The world is getting darker each day, but we have the remedy- Jesus. Let's live like it! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/07/01/living-simply-in-an-upside-down-world/

Everywhere we look the world is showing us how our life "should look." I am asking you a question today that will change the way you live. What would your life look like if no one told you how it should look? Would your home look different? Your clothes? The way you spend your time? Let's dig into this topic and decide Who we are going to let influence our lives. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/06/17/what-would-your-life-look-like-if-the-world-wasnt-telling-you-how-it-should-look/

Today I want to look at a portion of Colossians that really ministered to me recently. Our lives would be much less complicated if we just remembered this secret Paul writes about tucked into this book.

How Great is Our God! Get To Know God Through Creation This Spring has been busy on our little hobby farm! And at the same time, I have been studying Creation in Genesis for my Bible study. I have learned so much and today want to share it all with you- sometimes we need just stop and be in awe of how GREAT our God is! It truly puts everything else into perspective. So grab a cup of coffee or tea and listen in to be inspired, refreshed, and renewed! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/06/03/how-great-is-our-god-get-to-know-god-through-his-creation/

for me to lament and get caught up in the worries that I may not have taught him enough or prepared him enough. But we sat down together recently and I explained to him that I learned more in my second half of life than in my first, and certainly more than in my years of traditional schooling. I reminded him that I gave him the foundation and tools to learn but from here on out, his real education is just beginning. For anyone who needs some encouragement about homeschooling or life after graduation, listen in...let's look at the truth of education for life.

I truly think this is one of (maybe THE) most important podcasts I have ever recorded. I have been asked this question many times recently and wanted to answer it today. Some of it may surprise you. Let's sit down and talk about how we can keep our children on the right path. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/05/20/how-can-you-keep-your-children-on-the-right-path/

Our world is consumed with aesthetics and beauty. But what if God's plan for our lives includes some things that aren't so pretty? Life isn't ever picture-perfect, but the most beautiful life is the one that is lived shining the Light of Christ. Today I am catching you up on life around here and then we are digging into this very important topic! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/05/13/there-is-no-picture-perfect-life/

Literally, every single one of my homeschool clients has made the statement to me, "I feel like I'm not doing enough" or, "I'm failing my children." And even if you aren't a homeschool mom, I can imagine most of you have said these statements at some point about something in your life. Today, we are going to really dig into that statement and turn it on its head as we look at Who is enough: Jesus. We are NOT enough. We can not DO enough. But in Him, we do the things He has called us to and by His power alone. Apart from Him, we do not good things. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/04/29/not-doing-enough-me-either/

A few months back we started the Simply Go! initiative here at Simply Living for Him to encourage and equip everyday women in their everyday lives to be on mission for Jesus. The world is hurting and we have the answer. You don't have to travel far to find someone who needs Jesus. You can go right outside your door. Recently I was intrigued when a Facebook friend of mine started posting about her experiences with sharing Jesus every week right there in the Walmart parking lot. She is a homeschool mom with nine children but is stepping out in obedience to the Lord right where she is! I decided to ask her to be on the podcast and talk about her experience as it fits right in with the Simply Go! initiative! You are going to be inspired by this beautiful woman and her courage to be bold, right there in the Walmart parking lot. She is changing lives! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/04/22/finding-god-in-the-walmart-parking-lot-ep-214/

Today we are talking about living a life you don't need a vacation from. Yes, we all work hard, and the Bible tells us we are to work, but what on earth are you working for? Are you striving for earthly things or eternal things? Are you building the Kingdom of God or an earthly kingdom that will eventually fall? Join me today as we talk about simplifying, what we really need, and not working to accumulate stuff but to fulfill our God-given purposes. http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/04/08/live-a-life-you-dont-need-a-vacation-from

Our world is filled with fear. But we have no reason to fear the unknown when we focus on what is known – and that is, our God is a mighty and powerful God.

It's been quite a few weeks and today let's hang out and just chat! The Lord has taught me much and I hope it encourages you wherever you are at today, too! Grab a cup of coffee or tea and let's chat! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/03/26/life-updates-and-what-god-is-teaching-me-ep-211/

Today I am sharing a bit of our journey and how God has led us to a path of homemaking, homeschooling, and self-employment.

Come listen in, learn a bit about me, and see how some of these principles may apply in your own life, no matter what God has called you to do! http://simplylivingforhim.com/2021/03/11/a-path-of-our-own-homemaking-homeschooling-and-self-employment-ep-210/
