I watch the news in disbelief at the things I am hearing...but I have to belief it because the Lord told us these things would happen near the end of time. The limits put on buying rice, the high prices of feul, people not feeding their family breakfast to be able to buy fuel, the economy at such a low point. My heart hurts for all those little children in public schools wasting there time getting "smart"!! Oh how I wish they were at home with thier Mommy learning about God's perfect gift to us to save us from all that is going on around us. I am so sad to see so many people that just don't get it, they just don't get what is really important in life. God, God, he is all that matters in this life!! I thank God even more today for my freedom to keep my kids at home with me, that we can spend our time learning about Him and learning about the wonderful place we will live one day. We will not be here enduring all the terrible things yet to come. I thank God that he has saved my oldest Child, and I pray that he will work in Noah's heart, and that Noah will understand salvation through Jesus Christ. I also pray that he will start to work on my 2 yr old, and even my 4 month old, that he will get their hearts ready to accept him, and I pray that they all will be saved at a young at age!! Today, I am thankful for our devotions as hard as it is to get them to be still and listen, I know they are getting bits and pieces of what I am saying, I am thankful that I am not relying on the Church to teach my Children about the Love & Salvation of Jesus... I thank Him that I am here with my babies, giving them bits of knowledge, bits of knowledge that are the most important in life...I am thankful that I will be able to teach them through the years (how ever many are left) that Jesus loves them, and that we need to always be a witness for Jesus so that others can be saved. I am thankful that God is allowing me to see the importance of homeschooling my children and teaching them, and thankful that he is showing me that phonics and math are not the important things but knowing Him is the most important. There was a time when I thought you were suppose to get most of your spiritual growth and knowledge at church, but now I know that you really grow at home in His word and seeking Him...I know that it is my duty to teaching them about Jesus, it is not the job of the church...I am thankful for my church and my church family, I am thankful that they are there to HELP me to raise my children, but it is not their responsibility, it is mine, and I thank God for letting me see that!! Oh how I thank Him today - that I can rest in Him when it seems the world is falling apart around us!!
Hope you are doing super!! So you are moving on to birds huh?! Super! You can follow what we did -- here is the link to all our studies ~ http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/kimalita/Bird%2BStudy/
It also has a few books that we used as well. I'd also encourage you to look at your library for The Boy Who Drew Birds -- its a great book, the true story of John James Audobon! Its for children. You can take a few days to read it like we did so they don't lose interest. Just flow with it, don;t make it too detailed that they get bored...the activities should keep their interest.
If you need more help, hollar.
Just trying out this blog stuff to see how it all works. I am mom to 4 wonderful children; Chloe (5), Noah (4), Zoey (2), Jonah (6 months). I am just beginning the homeschool journey and trying to become the Godly Woman I am meant to be.
