I’m Sallie Schaaf Borrink, a Christian wife, mother, and homeschooler. Welcome to my cozy corner of the world. Our little family lives a quiet simple life of home education, self-employment, and laughter. I share what I've learned to help others navigate this world with truth and beauty. Please start here. ♥

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ

"If I ever meet thee in the next world, thou mightest, perhaps, say to me, 'I spent one evening, sir, in hearing you, and you never told me the way to heaven.' Well, thou shalt hear it. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, trust in his name, find refuge in his cross, rely upon the power of his Spirit, trust in his righteousness, and thou art saved beyond the vengeance of the law, or the power of hell. But trust in thine own works, and thou art lost as sure as thou art alive."

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)
