About SoCalVal

Photobucket

Welcome to my little corner of the beach in Southern California. I am married to one amazing man who loves me with a heart of Christ and who has blessed me to be a stay-at-home homeschool mom of three wonderful blessings. My heart is for homeschool ministry and helping others through encouragement. I've been homeschooling since the beginning and love it more and more every day.


I began my journey in homeschooling based on Bible scriptures found in Deuteronomy chapter 6:6-12 Homeschooling With Encouragement is dedicated to encourage the homeschool mom. I am the owner of a Yahoo group, monthly newsletter, two homeschool blogs, and the Weblink Education website.

"Satan's "best shot" against God and the people of God was the crucifixion of the God-man, Jesus Christ. And in that act, he unwittingly not only sealed his own doom, he opened the door for Jesus to offer redemption and salvation to the whole world. But that's not the end of the matter. Believe it or not, Satan can also accomplish God's purposes through the trials and afflictions that he throws our way. How? By helping us to cling to the Lord in dependence and prayer and, as a result, growing stronger spiritually."

Photobucket
For information regarding Prayer Request Sunday
Please Click Here

New Prayer Requests:


  • NOAH NEEDS OUR PRAYERS RIGHT NOW - Little Noah, one of our children we pray for weekly is struggling today - he is in desperate need of our support in prayer.  Please lift him up to the Lord and ask that His hand would touch little Noah and cause the pain to stop and healing to begin.  You can read about what is happening today with Noah,  by clicking HERE.
  • Aunt Karen - She was scheduled to have a small section removed from her blatter due to possible cancer this week; however, a more serious situation arose and she ended up having surgery on her appendix instead.  Now she is healing from that surgery and will have the second surgery when it is safe. 
  • Joe Dillard  - He needs to have a pacemaker put in. Because of foot surgery on Thursday the doctors would like to wait at least six weeks to do this because of chance of infection. Pray his heart stabilizes enough to wait.
  • Mama Archer's Family - Her grandmother passed away Saturday morning.  Please pray that the family would unit and be strong together.  That there would be peace and that her grandmother's life would be a testimony of hope through Jesus.
  • Ramona - She was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.
  • Kristine - Her father is in need of heart surgery.  He is in the midst of scheduling it and finding the resources to pay for the procedure.  Please pray that the Lord would use this opportunity to show Himself to Kristine's father in a powerful way. 
  • Shannon  - He had ALS and just wants prayers for his heath to stabilize. Shannon is only in his 40's and has a young family.
  • Lexi - She is 20 and had a pacemaker put in on Friday morning. She is doing well and at home healing.  She needs continued prayer for healing and patience.  She is young and ready to get "busy" again - please pray that she would take the time that is needed for rest. 
  • Karen (The S.A.L.T. blog) - Karen is expecting to deliver her baby this week through induction.  Please pray that the baby's lungs are strong and mature enough to handle the induction.  Also pray for Karen and her health.  Please pray that everything would go according to plan and that she would have peace before, during, and after the procedure. 
  • Sean - A change of heart has been happening with him lately...  he is starting to ask question about who God is and if He is real.  Please pray for a turn around.  Please pray for his salvation.
    He is a young man, father of two.
  • Lynn - Her appointment was rescheduled for the 30th at 1:15pm.   Please pray that everything will work out for the appointment to happen this time and that questions would be answered about her health situation.
  • Jenny's niece - She was in an accident a while back which left her with  TBA (traumatic brain injury).  It is difficult for the person who has it and the people helping/supporting the person.  Please pray for strength and wisdom as Jenny's parents are now raising her niece.
  • Jenny's Mom - She is also in the process of being tested for Alzheimer’s. There is much worry and fear for all of us. Please pray for doctors, mom and the rest of our family.
  • Kristy - a private matter needs prayer.  Please lift her up as God knows the situation.

On-Going Prayer Requests:


  • Shirley - She is struggling with Cancer.  Please pray for comfort and healing.
  • Mrs. A - She is still facing the surgery for her colon cancer. However, her heart condition has been taken care of and after she heals from that minor surgery (Praise God!!), she will be able to have the Colon surgery, to remove the cancer. The cancer  was once thought to be wide spread but now they have determined that is it localized. A true answer to prayer!!
  • Kristy's friend "W" - Prayer for his salvation and a desire to go to church. Pray that a change of heart would happen and that there would be an opportunity for the gospel to be shared with him and that his heart would be open to receive it. 

Children To Pray For:

  • Grace - Little Grace is still having GI trouble and now may be facing some visual perceptual problems.  Please lift this little girl up for healing once again.  The tests and treatment that is needed is expensive and additional funds are needed for a necessary ortho consult Grace needs.  The family is asking for prayer...  prayer for wisdom and patience with finding a new doctor and the means to handle the finances.
  • Prince Caspian - This little boy is struggling still with his OCD condition.  Please pray that there would be wisdom in handling his medicine, treatment, and general care.  It can be difficult at times for his family to understand and handle, so please keep them in prayer as well.
  • Noah - One year old little boy belonging to Kate and Jeff:  Ourquiverfull.  Much has been happening with Noah. He recently had a transfusion which has left him weak - The parents greatly appreciate your prayers for strength and wisdom. The need for rest also is a concern.  Daily updates from Kate are posted on Noah's blog.  Please  Click Here
  • Natalie - Two year old little girl belonging to Rob and Kathleen.  New photos and updated story of Natalie's condition is on her website - She is doing amazingly well considering this was a hard month for her.  She is about to undergo another hard round of chemo this next month.  The family covets your prayers.    To read more, please  Click Here
  • Sean -  Six year old little boy.  Sean has his own website that is updated regularly.  Please read his story and keep him and his family in prayer.  Click Here
  • "Baby Girl" - Weekly updates are given on her blog.  Over Christmas there was some progress along with some setbacks.  Her parents request prayer for strength and that their joy would be restored.  Please read Baby Girls personal blog by Clicking Here

  • Bob - He has gained perspective on the situation at home and will seek help from the community service department.
