Hi, I’m Kim. I help Christian moms build victorious families with practical resources for homeschooling, daily life, and faith.
I’m a lot like you. I’m crazy in love with Jesus, a single mother of 4, a passionate homeschooler, and life-long student. After teaching 8 years in a public school, I transitioned my M.A. in Early Childhood Education from the classroom to the blessing of homeschooling. Our style is largely eclectic as each of my children is gifted in different ways.
When we aren’t deep in an algebra lesson or exploding chemical compounds in the kitchen, I have the privilege of writing on these pages to encourage moms like you. This site was born out of my own experience with abandonment, betrayal, and life growing up with a single mom. My heart longs to encourage and equip families to walk victoriously through whatever circumstances we face. I believe that Jesus is the answer to absolutely every problem and I fully trust His plans for us.
Like you, I have a few bad habits (ahem- root beer). I’m addicted to cake, and I fail my kids and my God every single day. If you are looking for perfect, you won’t find it here. But, you will find real life transparency, grace, encouragement, and hopefully a few giggles here and there. I do hope you’ll stick around!
As mentioned, I have 4 cute kiddos (yep, I’m biased). Here they are as of October 2015. Note that we make homeschooling a way of life and even learn on vacation. Don’t worry, they will thank me later. Haha.
Interested in reading the rest of my story? You can do that in three parts here: purple slippers {part I}, the scarlet letter {part II}, he left {part III}

Oh, Sister,
What a blessing you are! I came across your site while searching for a new Facebook cover photo (always respectfully cited ), and…
Thank you so much for boldly remaining in the love of the Father. The fruit you bear is undeniable.
I look forward to sharing your site with my “friends”.
As for homeschooling… that is my plan, and I look forward to utilizing your resources 🙂
Grace and Peace.

Great to meet you! Thank you for sharing with me and your friends! 🙂

I’m not sure how I cam across your site, but I never in a mil thought I’d find another he-left, former teacher, Christ-loving mom who homeschools. I’d love to sit down to coffee with you and girl talk about every day life, finances, dreams, disciple, the list could go on forever. Since that cannot be, I sat and prayed over you and your young’ns as you navigate through this coming school year.
Hopefully we’ll connect again soon.

It’s almost 1am, and I found myself alone at night, another sleepless night(which seems to be occurring more frequently), and finding myself slipping into the dreaded dark deep pits of feeling all alone, in my despair, completely overwhelmed, another bout of job loss, and hopelessness. As I felt my overwhelming sadness and tears welling up inside, ready to burst, I grabbed my phone desperate to find anything for a lifeline support. I found your site. God. As I read every sentence of your blog, I could not stop crying. I have felt truly alone and isolated over a decade as a single mom raising my two kids alone in every sense of the word. I have lived under the negative stigma and shadows of being a single mom all these years, a burden that’s weighed me down in how I interact and relate to people, a shameful handicap, that I cannot shake off no matter how much I need to, a constant dark cloud of paranoia and how people see or may judge me and my children. The biggest heartache I feel on a daily basis when cry at night, after my kids are asleep, is how my precious children don’t deserve any of this, and I hurt for them. I wrestle and struggle many times why God has chosen this path for us, and circumstance seldom seems to get any better? It has changed me, who I am, in every way, but through all these endless dark pits, I have still held onto my faith in Jesus, begging him to show me signs of his plans, bring me the right people to help us, give us help and support. I admit, I struggle to understand and have endured roller coaster of emotions, and doubt tries to creep in, but at the end of the day, I trust my God. I’ve felt utterly alone in my pain, that no one can or will understand what I’ve had to endure, feelings of failure, humiliation, rejected, and unable to have normal conversations with two parent households without constant fear of being judged. I find myself having trouble engaging in “normal conversations” with people, it all seems so trivial after what I’ve experienced…years of injustices that’s been done, by their father, lawyers and legal system, who doesn’t seem to care to fight for justice, but fight only for who can line their pockets. I’ve been a single mom raising two children all alone over a decade now, never saw any of this coming, abandoned by a sociopathic husband/father who literally split from all responsibilities to never hear from him again, who doesn’t want to be found. I’ve gone from job to job trying to make ends meet, dealing with medical issues due to stress of juggling work, full time raising my kids 24/7 and 365 days a year. My kids have never been apart from me since they were born, and now they are growing up fast, my impending limited years are thrusting me into deeper loneliness and fear about my future as I’m growing older. My kids are my only purpose to keep going with the grace of God.
Sorry this comment ended up a novel of confessions, I have over a decade of internalized pain which has built up. Seeing your blogs and how well you wrote it spoke to me and I’m thankful that I found your website. I think God had something to do with it. Thank you for helping me breathe tonight a little easier to know perhaps, possibly, there are others out there who may understand what I’m going through.
Kim Sorgius says
Oh friend, I’m so glad you are here! I’ll be praying for you. God is so faithful!

I love the sound of your devotionals, but before buying I need to know what kind of faith background you are coming from. .. I’m sure you can understand. Maybe what church you attend, etc.

I too wanted to first find out your background and your doctrinal beliefs. I was super excited to see that you believe in free grace and eternal security. It seems rare these days to find that! And you use KJV!! I am very interested in your devotionals. Thank you for your heart and passion for Jesus and others!
Melissa Fees says

Thank you for being you! I really find inspiration as I read your blogs. God bless you and your family!
Sumer Harris says
Hello. You are an inspiration to me. I would love to devote more time to God than work and homeschool my children. I want to spend more time at home.

Hi! I am a pastor and homeschool dad of two. I recently completed volume one in a six-volume classical Bible program that I believe may be of interest to your readers. It uses memory songs along with accompanying maps and charts, weekly commentary and daily worksheets to illuminate subject matter as complex as Bible history, geography, archaeology, survey, and theology. The program is easy to use, takes only fifteen minutes of instruction per day, and may be used with children of all ages, though our focus group is elementary-age children. You may view an introductory video at our website, provided below. If you would like, I can email you an overview and sample that you may review for your readers. Please let me know if you have any questions.
