Teresa & Faith's Journey

School on Saturday/God is so Good.

Posted in HomeSchooling
Well after pouring out my heart and finding out how many have been down this road and that this road is very normal and not as lonely as I thought it to be. I want to thank everyone that took the time to give me words of encouragement, or let me know that they have been there. I have to say that I am shocked to be writing this report today...
First I couldn't make up my mind what to call this blog. I ended up putting School on Saturday because that is what we kind of did. Plus I have already used the title God is So Good,  I had to come up with something, a little better. Faith woke her happy self and what happen the hours that followed that was, none other, then what some of you said you would pray for us about. She never went to the TV,  or asked for the TV. She got out her Play-do, and played with that. Then we had some fun having a conversation on the white board, she surprised me with the words that she was spelling. Then is turned into a few games of Tic-Tac-Toe. I figured because she was so happy I would ask her to do two lesson's, it took a little bit more white board talking, and it came down to this. If I won 5 games first she would do her music and art lesson #2, if she won...she wanted to go to Toy-r-Us and I was to by a Rescue Hero. Well you will never guess who won...me!!!!
Faith was so happy and did her music, "Ra" notes for me. Then we got out the Art, this really must be her least favourite thing. I do believe that she would much rather English, Phonics or even Math, I know for sure she would PathWay Readers, she so loves those. Any way while she worked on her art, mommy played with her camera. Here are some of our morning shots.

Some morning things she played with   Can't wait to say bye to this.   Mommy played while Faith worked
This is her finished R&S Lesson 1 in Art. I was so proud of her last week. I knew that this lesson had her two lest favorite things. Colouring and Cutting.

We later went for a drive. To pick up another great homeschooling tool. As God has blessed me with yet another free homeschooling item. I am going to wait until it is up, before I post what it is. (tomorrow??) God is showing me just how much He loves me even though I am so far from Him and feeling so lonely. He is showing me His love in providing things that are just great over the top, like our new bookshelf that nicely hides all our school books and supplies, when not using them. On our drive I took some pictures. My husband even got in on the game as I couldn't get where I wanted to take some pictures at the pond. I am so proud of him, he is even shooting off of Auto, he had come a long way. For years I was NEVER in a picture. I think I counted the first almost 4 years of Faith's life, I am in about 50, give or take with her. Sad I know. I will group, mine and then his. To give him the credit that he deserves.
you know me      Fall is coming. Fall is coming.
Now for the great work of my husband, drum roll please.....
My huddy is gettnig good. by you.
Fall?? by you.
While trying to get a shot for me this popped up!! by you.
Now is that now great for a newbie behind the lens???
We also ran into Fiath's friend when we were in Wal-Mart. We ended up having her with us for the day and a sleep over. Yes, they are sleeping right now. In our area they are having a Lantern Walk, they posted 3 really great Lantern idea's. We did one tonight with Faith's friend.  Paper Stain Glass Lantern. Glow Stick
Making Lanterns with a friend      Making Lanterns with a friend
Glow Stick Lanterns(full light)      Glow Stick Lanterns(low light)
Glow Stick Lanterns(no light) by you.
The first was taken in full light, then low light and these in no light. My only words of 'addvice', if you are going to use then on a table top, or for a walk. Use a file folder type stock paper. These where pretty weak once all cut. But are they not just so nice? They are handing in the room with the girls right now, in three different spots. I was proud of myself for crafting, something I  REALLY trying to step out of my comfort zone. This was also why I am very happy for R&S Art. I was shocked and so happy when daddy came out and help. Something he never does when we craft, anything else no problem, just not crafts.
Today was a great day and no TV. They did watch a Veggie Tales Movie. In her room on the portable DVD. I thought it was a great thing as this little girl doesn't know Jesus.
God Bless all my friends and people that reached out and showed me love when it is so easy to not show a person that love.
Luke 6:31-33 (NKJV)   And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise. 32 “But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
