Wow


Before long, mankind will just die out. Kids are now being treated like dogs and unallowed into places. How cute they even came up with a little sign to post outside of unkidfriendly places......grocery stores even considering no kids certain days of the week? Really aren't kids the base of humanity? I just can't beleive this. Seems like a sick joke. I am offended as a mother of 7 :( Satan can really be a handful! I pray that people boycott this new "movement."

I think I just felt some baby fever coming on...yes I'm a rebel!!!

Why Doesnt Prayer Work?

Why doesnt God hear us who pray? Why aren't the sick always healed. I am having a semi- faith crisis. I am very sad for a family who has had a lot of people praying and their child is only getting sicker. I am sad for another family I prayed for and their child died. Why? If God answers us who ask....then why? If anyone can help me with this very important question, it would be appreciated. Thank you, just having a  rough day.

Excited


















For a few things......first, IM BLONDE AGAIN yayayyay. Second, we finished 2.5 weeks of homeschooling thus far and public schools havent even started back yet, woop woop. Third, I am excited for how much fun we have gotton to have this summer with friends and family. Jaxxon started crawling 4 days before turning 9 months(not bad for a preemie), I got a new camera, we have been doing lots of riding and Nate's training his horse for bow hunting! Nothing feels better than being off the mountain:)

Had to Blog About It!!!!

We started our first day back to school yesterday and went to dinner last night to celebrate our back to school. Its been a fun week so far and I just wanted to say, My Fathers World Creation to Greeks is SO...MUCH....FUN!!!! Let me tell you what a perfect balance it is of reading and hands on, but not junky and boring hands on. This is fun stuff. We have tried, Rod and Staff, Abeka, Five in a Row(LOVED), and Sonlight along with unschooling and just doing our own thing over the years. This is our 7th year homeschooling and I cannot beleive how much we are loving My Fathers World(Delux pkg). I am already thinking we will use it again next year. Its just an amazingly Biblical based curriculum that really goes in depth and brings the Bible to life through experiences, art, science and captivating books like Dinosaurs in Eden. I love doing Bible study each morning with Daddy involved also because the place in the Bible we are reading pertains directly to things we will do that day in school. Its neat because he knows around about what we are learning each day, leaving him feeling more involved. It is my prayer that each family has/could find a curriculum that they love as much as we love this one!

What we are currently using for the year:
My Fathers World, Creation to Greeks Delux package with all children, Notebooks and student sheets with 6th, 4th and 3rd grader. This package includes a timeline we hung in our homeschool room and will add to all year, notebooking sheets for the 4 oldest kids, vocabulary(latin/greek/hebrew) program, Creation science, read alouds, Bible feasts and Victor Journey through the Bible, and fun project books about Egypt and other places mentioned in early Old Testament times. I love the Bible really being the backbone to our education!
