"Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me." 2 Corinthians 12:9 ------------------------------------------------------- I am a mother of three beautiful blessings from the Lord. As a family we are in our 4th year of our Home Education journey. We desire to raise our children in a loving, Christ-centered, atmosphere so they can develop and mature into men and women used for God‘s Glory. We base all our learning foremost on the Word of God and intertwine rich literary classics for a living book structure. The Lord has “delivered” us from “one-size-fits-all school-in-a-box“ methods and from trying to reproduce government run school at home. This year we’re utilizing: Every Newberry winner we can get our hands on :o), Math-U-See (Alpha Level), Hooked-on-Phonics (complete program for 4-8 year olds), Draw-Write-Now, Easy Grammar Systems, Sonlight for History/Geography/Science. We also are mixing in “Lapbooking” Unit Studies through “In The Hands Of a Child” and “Notebooking.” Natural learning experiences are plenteous living in a rural area...watch out frogs and crayfish! We’re members of two Homeschool groups in our area and enjoy meetings and field trips with them. We also love burning up our annual passes to the children’s and science museums, zoo’s, busch gardens, battlefields and whatever else we can get into! We’re prayerfully beginning our foster-adoptive journey and look forward to growing our family as the Lord allows. My hobbies are gardening, learning to cook-my family is thankful for that-and decorating. I'm a life long "professional" college student, always pecking away at classes (Liberty University). I also am a Nurse when the mood hits me :o) I enjoy Joyce Meyer, Ruth Beechick, Clay and Sally Clarkson, Raymond Moore, and This Old School House Magazine.
