Back to the books

Hello all! We are back to the books this week! We had a great Spring break..other than the stomach virus that ran rampid through our home! YUCK! We are finishing up a few more "must dos" and then we are going to get creative for the rest of our schooling this year! :-) We are switching to My Father's World curriculum next year and I am very excited about this. I cannot wait to order our books and start getting prepared! This first year of homeschooling has had it rocky days, but it is all worth it! I have enjoyed being with my children, and watching them learn! I LOVE to hear them recite their Bible verses together...it is like beautiful music! I thank God for giving me four wonderful children to care for and allowing me to be with them throughout each day! I am truly blessed! Have a great day!

Hold me while I cry

God's plan

How often do we pray and then take the burden with us? According to the Bible, we are to leave it at the feet of Jesus. I will be the first to admit, that is a hard thing to do. I have recently been reminded that God's ways are much higher than our ways. His plan is always best. Sometimes, it may take patience. But it always takes faith. Even if God chooses not to give the answer immediately, does not mean that it is not in the works. I have a tendency to want what I want RIGHT NOW! That is when I need to crucify the flesh and believe in God and His promises. He will never leave us, He is always there. Take time to praise Him for His blessings, even when all you feel like doing is asking Him why He is taking so long. Remember, God has a plan for all things, and He knows and wants what is best for you. Love Him in the hard times, Praise Him in the bad times and then the good times are sure to follow! God Bless!

What is the "world" to you?

1 John 2:15 (King James Version)

15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.


Is it the music you listen to?
Is it the places you choose to hang out?
Is it the company you keep?

Is there a difference in you and the world? Could someone look at your life, hear what you listen to, watch the places you go, meet your friends.etc..and still be able to tell that you are a Christian? According to God's word, we cannot be anything like the world, or He says the love of the Father is not in us.

Oh be careful little eyes what you see is a favorite children's song for a reason. It has a great biblical message to children AND to adults!

Please remember to pray daily and ask God to convict you of anything that is not pleaseing to Him! Let's pray for each other to live for our Savior in a way that is pleasing to HIM..not just the world's standards!
