We had our first Girls Club meeting for ages 12-18 and I thought it went great. We had seven girls attend and we already know that we have atleast three or four more for next month. We studied on being friends and the girls really joined in and made the devotion successful. We then had snacks and made friendship braclets. Our one next month is going to be on beauty and then we will be doing makeovers along with snacks. I had been praying about this for alittle while and was not sure how it would turn out. I am glad the Lord led us to start this and I will continue to pray that we will continue in his will. My daughter just turned thirteen and this will help to bond her to other girls. Does anyone out there have a English that your children at middle school age like very much? What we are using my daughter said is boring and she hates doing English. We are only at about our fifth week so Im trying to make any changes that would be better for the year. We havent had a easy start to our year because she has had a hard time getting in the swing of things. I decided to use a Christian Cottage Unit Study that I had bought after we had started the year. Even though she is in seventh I still like to do a unit study in a way. I feel like when she gets to high school that we will just have to use text books but I know that is not true for everyone. I guess we will settle in to what we need to do hopefully this week. I plan to start walking this week and trying to do better with my eating. I am always putting it off for another day and its very important for me immediately. I hate excerise and I love icecream! I know its not like I cannot ever have it again but it just feels like it. Well better stop why I have alittle bit of time left to prepare a few things for tomorrow. Have a great week!
