Reflecting on Elijah's journey after Mount Carmel and the words "Be still, and know that I am God," this journal explores why rest is a gift from God and shares practical ways to find peace in the middle of everyday life.

Completing our annual home education report is one of those tasks I never look forward to, yet it always leaves me reflecting on just how much learning has taken place throughout the year.
