1 Timothy 3-5

God lead me to 1Timothy today. He spoke to me as why i must let go of my church and pray for them.....God showed me what my husband was explaining to me and why certain things must happen before we could ever go back there.

Amazed by my oldest son

This past spring semester, my son took Audio Engineering. He made a few connections that has led him to do some work with what he learned.

He has run the sound and recording for a talent show

He also now has the awesome benefit to even work on all the editing needs track labeling so that CDs can be made.

This is a great learning experience that he can use when he graduates high school with his AA. He will already have sound recording and operating and editing experience. On too of the class instruction.

Child Training Bible

http://www.childtrainingbible.com/

I have been looking and thinking about this teaching/helper tool for awhile...
Awhile back, I had said to my husband that it would be such a huge help to have a bible just like this.
I am learning God's word right along with my children. This tool could be a big help for all of us....

I have been putting it off though.....

Every day the past month when I am  on the web, I am seeing the http://www.childtrainingbible.com/p/what-is-ctb.html this has just placed it on my heart that it is time to purchase and put to use in our home.

I talked to my husband and his response was why haven't I gotten it yet.

Cant wait to put it to use this year.... especially since we have encountered a trial this season that has left us without a church family......

Will blog more about it after I receive....

School year wrapping up....

I am so proud of my 4 children!

My oldest has finished up his 2nd semester of college in the Dual enrollment program. He got a "98" in English 1102! Way to go Collin. (applaud and cheering)

Everyone told him it was so hard and that I was wrong for putting him in a 7 week class instead of the 15 week.
He told me it was so easy.... Would like to have more classes like that next semester.
We are waiting on the rest of his grades but I have no doubt. That they are all a's and b's.

My youngest son; Pooh bear, just wrapped up his math and asked to begin his new book right away. We do Saxon so he is beginning 6/5. He also has finished his explode the code and wordly wise.
If he is wanting to start the new book then I am grabbing the chance, he normally is the total opposite. I am happy for Pooh bear to feel he has accomplished something and it has given him incentive.

My baby girl is so far ahead, almost done in Saxon 5/4. She is on lesson 92. Before summer is over she will be in 6/5 with her older brother. She is only 9 and just loves school. All her other school is already done also, looking to order her a new wordly wise book. Trying to decide on the wordly wise version to use now that rock solid doesn't have the original version. refuse to use 3000 3rd, don't like that they put the answer key in the teacher manual, and charging 30.00 for it.

My middle son, Piglet, the music talent of our family. He is doing great with a push: before summer end he will have his math done. Almost has completed his wordly wise.

This is the first summer since we began homeschool I don't feel like our whole summer has to be spent on catching up.

We are going to take a break small but a break and we are going to do some fun school with geography, history and literature. Plus rearrange the classroom for a new start.

This fall is bringing new seasons into my families life.

offenses

The church body has been reading "The Bait of Satan" by John Bevere.

I highly recommend this to book to everyone.

It is some good food to digest and that will feed you, I have been able to actually see myself in this book.
I have felt offended by family, friends and strangers. It is so much more hurtful when it comes from someone close to you.

How am I to respond? Have I really truly forgiven? Have I fully turned it over to God?

Or have I actually allowed the offense to stay somewhere with in? If the tiniest speck of offense is in your soul it will grow.  Once that poison is there growing you can find offense in everything and everyone in your daily life.

I want to let go and be free of offense, I want to have a loving closer relationship with my Father.
He is the only one that truly loves me, so why would I not want to please him and be closer to him.
