Family Beach Day Seal Beach, CaHello Sisters!
Well, our Jesus Week was good, but I expected it to be better. So.....we are doing it for another week. There was just too much research for me to do myself and then to "share it" with the kids...it was like "I" was doing all the work and then pre-digesting all the great stuff to my kids, which THEY need to be the ones doing the reasearch in order to receive the benefits!
So....we are doing Robin Sampson's WISDOM unit study, which is ABSOLUTLY GREAT! We did it about 2 years and HONESTLY, out of ALL the hsing things we have done, her study is at the top! My kids will always remember the "Wisdom study." I think you can download for free an excerpt of Wisdom.
We are also going to be going through the Adam to Abraham study she has. I think HEARTOFWISDOM.com is my best route because it puts Jesus FIRST, not academics. Yes she believes in academics, but only secondary to learning about God. High-School Formula is good (by Barb Shelton), but I don't do grades and all that school stuff because it is not important to me and it never has been.
Last week we went to the beach ALL day and had a great time. I even brought the play pen and laid the baby down in it for her naps. I got to swim with the older kids and made sand castles with the younger ones. We packed lunch, ate out for dinner, went for a walk around Main Street Seal Beach and even had Cold Stone Ice Cream! My hubby got a chance to get away for an hour and spend time with the Lord in His beauty complete with seagulls, blue gentle rolling waves, swaying palm trees and 75 degree warm day. It was pretty much perfect.
I gotta get up early, so I need to sign out.
By the way....remember when I said I was going to believe to get everything I needed, so as not to think about "where" I would get money for the things I needed. Well, last week a friend brought over $600.00, yep, that's right $600.00 and said he is blessed and wants to pass on the blessing. How awesome is the LORD????? Jehovah Jireah, my provider!!!!!
Blessings,
Shannon

Good to 'meet' you! I'm a fellow homeschool mom as well, educating my crew of eight!
It's so neat to see what other homeschool moms are up to in their goals for the year! Thanks for sharing yours!!
Blessings!
Hi Shannon! I have been reading your Message Board/Blog for maybe 7-8 years and have always enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing about the Heart of Wisdom site. Teaching our children to love Jesus with all their hearts is by FAR the most important thing to take time for. It can be so easy to get caught up in all of the things the world says we need to teach our children.
A bit ago you posted about your daughter going to college. I would have no idea if that is what the Lord would have her to do and I think that is so neat that she is trying to hear and do what God wants her to do. I was wondering though if you have ever read the book 'So Much More' or seen the DVD 'Return of the Daughters'? I have been very blessed by them as a wife even though they are made for daughters. I didn't know if you or your daughter would be blessed in some way with either of those resources.
God bless you as you follow hard after Jesus! :-)
