We are His masterpiece!!

I had the opportunity to attend a Woman's Conference at a sister church in our area this past weekend. It was a wonderful study on how God uses ordinary women...ordinary sinful women, like Rehab (and me!!!), to do mighty things for God. One of the neatest points I remember was from Ephesians 2:10. It says, "For we are His workmanship (i.e. masterpiece), created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them."

He is the Master and we are the pieces!!!

It is like our lives are a big puzzle and ONLY God knows what the final picture will look like. We do however, in this life, get opportunities to see His hand at work in our lives everyday. What a blessing when we see the piece of the puzzle fit!! What a mighty God we serve!!

Welcome to the

School room "makeover" edition of the Not-Back-to-School-Blog Hop!!!! This by far will be my most exciting post yet!!! As I mentioned in my curriculum post, this is my second time to homeschool . The last time I homeschooled , my children were in 2nd and 4th grade, and we homeschooled for two years. We actually did our schooling in a small dining room where the table took up most of the room. My daughter sat at one end of the table and my son at the other. I sat in the middle. I had a wicker basket thingy with 3 drawers with all our stuff. Now, they are in 9th and 7th grade-which means they are much bigger - lol !!! Not to mention the fact that I am schooling two of their friends. That means two 9th graders and two 7th graders. Well, the room I did homeschool in no longer exist due to a little remodeling, and we just so happen to have an extra room that was supposed to me my husbands room f...

Not Back to School Blog Hop: Curriculum

This is our first year back homeschooling. They are in the 9th and 7th grade. The last time we homeschooled, they were in the 2nd and 4th and we homeschooled for two years. For the past three years we have been at a wonderful Christian school in our area. I taught 4th grade and my daughter had a wonderful experience in middle school, 6th through 8th grade. Our school only went to 8th grade. My son had a rougher time. The teachers were wonderful and he had great friends, played basketball and flag football, but academically he struggled due to his autism. The lockers, changing classes, over stimulation, etc. But the Lord has continued to be faithful throughout our school career whether we were in private school, public school, or homeschooling, so I have no doubt that the upcoming year will be no different. I am so excited to be sharing this adventure with several close friends at my church and equally excited that I will be homeschooling a friend for each of my kids. We ...

"Not" Back to School Blog Hop!!!!

2011-2012 Curriculum Choices for Reed Academy Wow!! Year two (technically four, but there have been a few years of regular school in there too!) of homeschooling. This year my daughter will be a sophomore...have mercy! She has had a very productive summer working as a lifeguard, babysitting, and getting her driving permit....double have mercy!!! My son is going into 8th grade so this is his last year before the big stuff!!! He has had a very productive summer as well...not!!! Unless you consider the x-box as productive!!! Can not wait to get him back into a routine and hopefully regenerate some of his brain cells!!! This school year starts so differently than our last. We actually have a family living with us. They are expecting a baby any minute....literally!!!! Our school room is now also a bedroom for Alec and our office that held a lot of school stuff is now a nursery!!! But God is faithful and we continue to find pla...
