Bible Copying

William's Proverbs 27:3

(I couldn't get it to flip for the life of me!)

I am very much against busy work for my kids. We only do absolute necessary workbooks and worksheets. We DO try to get them writing and illustrating anything and everything they read about or see.....Included in this workbook ban are handwriting books.

I have come up with a preferred alternative:

BIBLE COPYING

My children ages 5-13 are all copying the same scripture right after we open our day with devotion and prayer. They copy straight out of their own KJV Bible. As soon as they are finished they begin their respective Language Arts Levels. (We use Rod and Staff beginning in Level 1)

This has given all my children a desire to know God's Word and be able to navigate the Bible and they are copying proper English!

thirty-one fundraiser

Our thirty-one fundraiser has come to a close and I have really enjoyed getting to know this great product!

We sold right at $300 and earn 25% of that! I think that is a great start!

We will be having another thirty-one fundraiser in May/June I hope!

Total along with a very generous donation of $100, we earned $175 through this fundraiser!

PRAISE THE LORD!

He provides! I am so blessed to be on this journey!

If you find anything you would like to order please contact Anne Little at morekids4me@gmail.com , let her know you want your order to bless our adoption and she will make it happen!!

She is AWESOME!

Cabrini Winter Ball 2012

I love my husband, seriously, I love him so much.....He is so handsome, dashing, kind, gentle, loving, patient, faithful............wait...those are the fruit of the Spirit! awesome!

Honey, your fruits are showing...hehe

Thanks to some fabulously awesome friends, we were able to go to the Cabrini Ball for the first time ever. In fact, when I was much younger, I would hear about people getting dressed up to go and would secretly wish that I could go one day.....and look here I am.

Although, I did have a lot of fun with my hubby, I kept thinking how many orphans could be fed with the cost of this function...but for the most part I had a lot of fun with my hubby.

THE DRESS:
I bought my dress at a thrift store, bought tulle in the same color, cut off the sash, put the tulle and sash together to make sleeves. It was also a touch too big so I took it in on both sides so it would stay up above my milk producers (sorry but I dont think men read my blog anyway). It turned out well except it was a touch too tight, so everytime I sneezed, I popped a stitch. SO funny....... and since it was at a casino and they were smoking outside the ballroom, I sneezed a lot.


Now I am on the hunt for next year's dress. ....wish me luck

We told my family tonight that we were adopting. Almost all of them were there any many of them either already knew or were suspicious.

I am so glad I am on this journey. This is a God calling to be sure. It is a burden.

I weep for these babies..

I want to hold them...

I want to kiss them...

Give them medical care...


I truly try to stay off the computer because I have seen how much time can be sucked out of my day if I am not careful. Trying to balance a housefull and an adoption is HUGE! Especially if you want to maintain sanity!!

I love the feeling that I am going to make a difference in this little boy's life. (Hopefully 2 little boys). In all honesty....HE will be the one making a huge impact on all of our lives. Giving is more for the giver than the recipient. It is amazing how that works.

As I say goodnight to my babies here, kiss them, tuck them in, I am hoping my Chinese sons have a good noontime where they are.....

WHY?

Why not adopt?

1. Financial Cost
Jahovah Jireh - God is my provider

2. Fear of unknown
Jahovah Shalom - God is my peace

3. Danger in foreign lands
Jahovah Nissi - God is my banner; my refuge

My God is faithful, and when he draws hearts to spread His Word and love, he will be with us.
