HAVE YOU WONDERED HOW TO HELP YOUR FAMILY
GROW IN FAITH…
EVEN WHEN LIFE IS DIFFICULT?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




HI, I’M KIM SORGIUS JONES

My number one desire is to help kids and families grow in faith so we will never
feel consumed by life’s struggles.

My passion for helping families grow in faith is deep-rooted in a pretty messy
life story, mercifully redeemed by our incredible God!

Having been one of the 66% of spiritually active teens who walk away from the
church in their twenties, I believe God has called me to help kids and families
avoid that same trap.

Working with kids has always been one of my favorite things to do, I volunteered
in kid’s clubs, girl scouts, church groups, and pretty much anything involving
kids. It’s probably no surprise that I graduated from the University of South
Florida with an M.A. in Education, specifically curriculum design. But after ten
adventurous years in the public school system teaching Kindergarten through
second grade, God redirected my plans. I took what I thought was a break to have
my first baby. (Isn’t she adorable?)



Just a few weeks after she was born, I got the call that my nephew was going to
be retained for the second time in his 3 year educational career, so I took
matters in my own hands and began homeschooling him immediately. I’d seen the
system fail one too many kids and it wasn’t going to happen on my watch again!

As they say, the rest is history. I fell in love with the power of
homeschooling! By the time my own children were old enough for “school” we’d
already been to multiple homeschool conventions and purchased a good bit of
amazing curriculum.

In fact, I was so convinced that homeschooling was the best way to educate my
children that I pushed through the incredible obstacles we faced just a few
short years later when my husband left us behind.


HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED AT YOUR LIFE AND STOOD COMPLETELY AMAZED AT HOW GOD PUT
TOGETHER ALL OF THE PIECES?

He took my degree, my passions, and my family’s needs and He put together this
thing we call Not Consumed Ministries today.

Although I never would have imagined it this way, I’m a work-from-home fulltime
mom who runs a business, homeschools her kids, and by the grace of God manages
to feed them, too.

Don’t picture superwoman, because you’ll be missing the point. We have the
privilege of serving families like you because God is so gracious to us. He has
put all of the pieces together and gives us the strength we need to do what we
are called to do each day.

And trust me when I say, I haven’t done any of it perfectly! I’ve felt the
bitterness of betrayal and the loneliness of divorce. I’ve felt the overwhelm of
single parenting and the fear of financial ruin. And I’ve sat helpless as my
baby was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

THE BEAUTY OF LIFE ISN’T FOUND IN PERFECT CIRCUMSTANCES.


IT’S FOUND IN FAITH.

BECAUSE GOD IS FAITHFUL…
I CHOOSE TO LIVE #NOTCONSUMED.

I’M A PRAYER-MAKER.
JOY-GIVER.
LIFE-CHOOSER.


AND I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN ME!

One of our favorite things to do as a family is travel to various homeschool
conferences each year to pour into homeschool families for the weekend. I love
homeschooling my kids and creating resources from home, but getting to meet
people like you in person and inspire other families to press on and trust the
Lord through difficult circumstances excites me!

I’m honored to have been a consistent speaker for many of the national
homeschool conferences including Teach Them Diligently, CHEC, FPEA, HEAV and
more. I’d love for you to let me know if you plan on attending any conferences
I’m speaking at!




WHY WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR YOU…

Writing on these pages and creating resources for you enables me to hold my
children close when they need it most. It enables me to sit with my son through
countless hours of chemo and hospital stays. It enables us to continue
homeschooling, and most of all, it enables us to make memories together.

Because of you, my sweet reader and friend, my son can park cars on my back. I
can’t tell you how grateful I am for that.

But I also want you to know that every dollar you spend in our store helps even
more families get into God’s Word together. Thank you for being a part of this
ministry and helping us keep the cost of quality Bible studies and
faith-building resources affordable!


OUR FAMILY MISSION STATEMENT

I think every family should have a mission statement. After all, if you don’t
have a vision for what you want your family to be like, how will you ever reach
it? Proverbs 29:18 says, “where there is no vision, the people perish.” It’s
critical we clearly define what our families are all about so we can help them
identify with our principles and stand firm against those things that don’t fit!

But that doesn’t mean creating a mission statement has to be one more difficult
thing on our to-do list. It can be simple, practical and effective… like ours!


WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ME

 1. On this blog, you won’t find the recipe for the perfect children. (you
    actually won’t find any recipes at all. Ha!) But, I do promise to share with
    you encouragement and support through my own failures and victories as a mom
    seeking to teach my children diligently. (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)
 2. I promise to show you real life and yet at the same time offer practical
    solutions for handling the messy situations as I learn alongside you.
 3. I promise to pray for you and your family as often as I think of you.
 4. While I will never tell you that I fully know the depth of God’s Word, I do
    commit to handling it with the utmost respect and taking very seriously my
    accountability before God when it comes to teaching truth accurately.


INTERESTED IN READING THE REST OF MY STORY? YOU CAN DO THAT HERE: BEFORE I
BECAME #NOTCONSUMED.


WHAT I BELIEVE

God is so much bigger than anything I could ever write on this page and I
believe as Christians we are constantly growing and changing as we come to know
Him better. But since it’s important to know the foundation of beliefs when you
consider writing and materials to disciple your family, I wanted to share a
glimpse into what I believe.

I believe that the Bible is the absolute authority in matters of faith and
practice. I believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of Scripture; in one God
eternally existing in three Persons; in the creation of all things, including
man, as the direct act of God; in eternally secure salvation by grace through
faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; in the incarnation and virgin
birth of Christ, and in His bodily resurrection; in the personal, bodily,
premillennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ and His millennial reign on earth.

Simply put, I believe the Bible is 100% true as inspired by God.

His promises are enough for every part of our lives.

I am forever grateful that I am saved from my own depravity through the grace of
His son, Jesus and that every person on earth has that same opportunity.

I study and write using the KJV and ESV Bibles. However, my studies are written
with the intent that children and families will look up Scripture in the Bible
of their choice, with specific attention taken to assure questions can be
answered from a variety of translations.

HERE’S WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT NOT CONSUMED

Paige L.

LASTING IMPRESSION ON MY ENTIRE FAMILY

I wanted to write to encourage you and say, "THANK YOU!" I've been following
your blog for years, and you have made such a lasting impression on my entire
family. We've purchased many of your Bible Studies and a few other wonderful
homeschooling resources, all of which we absolutely love!!! Still, I believe the
greatest compliment I can give you is that because of your Bible Studies that my
children and I have completed together, my oldest daughter has been so inspired,
she's started creating her own daily devotionals, modeled after the ones you've
made. They are absolutely precious (in her own little 12-year old way), and she
prints one off each morning for our entire family to complete during our quiet
time. When she finishes her first "study" (which is on the Fruits of the Spirit
by the way), she plans to print a set to hand out to her small group at church.
To see my daughter take ownership of her faith in this way and to bless others
with a deeper study of God's Word is a precious gift to me, and I can't thank
you enough for your inspiration and positive influence!

Brittany, mom of 2

LIKE BEING WITH A GIRLFRIEND

Thanks for sharing a piece of your family. Your blog is, honestly, the only one
I have ever subscribed to. I feel like I'm on the phone with a girlfriend every
time I read your words. I love it! I often find myself spending hours clicking
from one post to the next telling myself, "okay, one more and then go to bed!"
It's all just so helpful!

Tara, single homeschooling mom

BRINGS COURAGE TO MY HEART!

I want to thank you for your transparency and dedication to blessing families
with resources. Thank you for the life giving words that I read over and over. I
cling to the hope I see in your story. Not only did you help me work through
things that had happened, you prepared me for a situation that could have
consumed me. God used your encouragement to strengthen me. I was so beaten down,
discouraged, and tired from the long and difficult path I had been walking. It
was a refreshing rain in the middle of a weary road, and it made me hope for a
future that is victorious.

Laura, homeschooling mom of 6

LOVE EVERYTHING YOU DO!

As far as the other things, I LOVE my brothers keeper and we've done it twice
over the past year or two. I recommend it all the time on so many groups online.
I type notconsumed.com almost daily somewhere on something. At times I will come
across another resource you have created and it's like you are in my head. So
much of what you create is exactly what I want but am not techy enough to do! I
had googled a checklist for homeschooling recently and yours popped up. It was
exactly the simple thing I wanted. I told my husband that you "get me" when I
found it. :) I ended up buying it then hearing about the course and did that
too. Even as a veteran homeschool mom I learned a few things from your course. I
really love how you foster independence in your kids in stages. Again, exactly
what I want to do!

Cathy, homeschool mom of 2

BIBLE STUDIES ARE INCREDIBLE!

I just ordered and am in the process of printing out so many of your amazing
resources and I can't wait to get started! Your bible studies are incredible and
so thoughtful, your planner is wonderfully laid out and your breakfast and lunch
stations will save me so much time!! I don't know how you do it all, but I'm
thankful you do!

Christi, single homeschooling mom of 7

LIFE-GIVING WORDS

What an encouragement your words have been to me! The practical tips and
realistic systems that you share are so super helpful, but what I have
appreciated the most has been your genuine heart for the Lord and for the things
of the Lord. What I sense through your words is a heart submitted to the Lord,
clinging to Him instead of to bitterness. Walking a path that you never signed
up for, painfully aware of your brokenness and inadequacies, but keeping your
eyes focused on the only Giver of Life. You have a testimony of victory, of
overcoming, Kim. Your life-giving words boast of the faithfulness of a God who
hears and sees and knows and provides and comforts. A God who doesn't change.

POSITIVE IMPACT IN MY LIFE

I've been following your blog for a couple years and I have enjoyed
participating in your free bible studies/devotions as well as those I've
purchased from you. I just wanted to let you know that you've made such a
positive impact in my spiritual and home school life, as well as support and
encouragement for motherhood. Thank you for being such a blessing to so many
moms.

Julianne

MY DAUGHTER LOVES IT ALL!

I just want to write and let you know that my 13-year-old daughter loves, love,
loves everything I have ever ordered from you and says that she wants your
entire inventory of bible studies for her next birthday!



Thank you for making a positive difference in our lives!

Kimberley

YOU'RE IN MY HEAD, SISTER!

I just wanted you to know that I LOVE your blog. I can’t tell you how much the
homeschooling posts have meant to me. It’s like you’re in my head, sister!!
Thank you so much for taking the time in your busy life to minister to
struggling moms and making me feel as if I’m not alone.

Ferne Downs

FABULOUS, HEART-FELT RESOURCES FOR PARENTS!

Thank you, Kim, for continuing to offer such fabulous and heart-felt resources
to us parents! I was not raised in a Christian home and feel like I’m
floundering in the dark trying to raise my children to know and love the Lord.
Your emails and bible studies are my lifeline! You should write a parenting
manual!

May God continue to bless you and your family abundantly!

Sheryl

MONTHLY SCRIPTURE PAGES

Thank you for creating the monthly Scripture pages... especially the KJV one!
It's the only Bible I use and hardly any bloggers use it on their stuff. I also
really appreciate the products that you provide. I really appreciate the
insights, laughter, and thoughtfulness put into your blog, emails, Facebook
posts, etc.
