We’re so thankful for every person who attended our 2021 Women’s Encouragement Day – both in person and online! What a beautiful privilege to serve all you spectacular homeschool moms.
We also appreciate those who filled out evaluation forms to let us know how we’re doing. These always come in handy when we’re planning for next year’s event and considering ways to improve.
Enjoy these Encouragement Day highlights and wrap-up of the event, including quotes from our attendees –
Encouragement Day speaker: Sara Hagerty
Sara Hagerty is a lover of God, married to her best friend, and homeschool mama to seven – four adopted from Africa and then more through miracle pregnancies.
She lived a decade-plus of married life with a barren womb and grew their family through international adoption. Then, God surprised them three times over with little people that grew inside of her while her hair grew gray.
Theme of the day: Dwell – It Is Well With My Soul
- Psalm 91:1-2 – “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
