Episode 5:
Meet the Hosts-
Erika's Story

Welcome Friend!

As we begin to connect on this motherhood journey together through this podcast, each of us would like to share more of our story and heart with you – to invite you in to what God has been doing in HIS narrative of which we all are a part.

In so doing, it’s our hope that you might find YOUR story reflected in some way, and that you would find fellowship with us in this pilgrimage, and in this holy task of raising intelligent, disciples of JESUS.  

First up is Erika Alicea!

We have been greatly encouraged by your messages and your reviews! We read each and every one. Please keep them coming!

For such a time as this,

Min, Simone, Erika, & Mariana

Quotes & Notes

We should allow no separation to grow up between the intellectual and ‘spiritual’ life of children; but should teach them that the divine Spirit has constant access to their spirits, and is their continual helper in all the interests, duties and joys of life.” ~Charlotte Mason 

“The Holy Spirit has become the Supreme Educator in our home and I have become the Assistant Teacher.  I am learning to rely on Him more and more each day.  So is my girl.  Therefore, our home is being filled with peace.  Not perfection.  But peace that surpasses all understanding and can only come from Him.” ~Erika Alicea
