Our field trip first started out in this home that we sat and listened to a world renowned paleontologist. He explained about Creation,Corruption, Catophophe, and Christ. 

This was a fossilized teddy bear, really cool!!!

 Then we went into another room and our leaders went over different animals and what and how to look for fossils in the peace river. This was Ducky's birthday too!!! She is being silly with the teeth. 

Ducky with the megalodon tooth. It amazing to think that animals this big lived here.

DRAW AND WRITE THROUGH HISTORY REVIEW

Thank you to Draw and Write through History for sending us the drawing curriculum to do with our children. 
 Bring life back to books with the Draw and Write Through History series!  These creative teaching books take your students on an exciting, hands-on adventure as they Draw, write, and retain their world history!  This series of creative and educational childrens’ books is a great supplement to ANY history curriculum.
◊ Chronological, including Biblical history.
◊ Aimed at ages 8+, but adaptable for younger students.
◊ Student friendly!  Starting with Creation, our books teach children how to draw things from history.  Each drawing is broken down into steps, and each step is done in color.  After each section there is a page of cursive handwriting copywork about that time period.
◊ An excellent supplement to ANY history curriculum!
◊ Whether you use the classical, Charlotte Mason, or traditional
text-book method, your students will retain more of what they have learned by drawing and writing about each time period.
◊ Great for homeschool or private school classrooms!
◊ Great birthday presents for children who love to draw!
Draw and Write through history is a great addition to our history curriculum because it gives our children a exciting way to bring history to life on a piece of paper. As a home school mom I watch and learn what our children's learning style is. And that's why I contacted Draw and Write through history because it's not your ordinary reading of text but rather visualizing the image your head for that time period backed up by some reading.  Our children are getting to use there creativity with history which makes history fun and exciting at the same time. Our daughter is very artistic and loves art so much so I have to do some creative fun in our homeschool day. Draw and Write through history offers several different time periods for exciting learning in your home. Even if you don't home school this program is a great way to learn history. There is an added bonus, the cursive writing throughout the book. Our daughter has not done any formal handwriting program and she caught on very quickly. Love,Love these books and can't wait to buy more!!!!!

The top pictures are our sons, He is 10 years old.
The bottom pictures are our daughter's, She is 8 years old. She just turned 8. 

When we studied Paul Revere, we drew him on his horse. Draw and Write through history goes step by step through the process on how to draw Paul Revere. Also they have a section with a little paragraph about Paul Revere. The book is set up like that for every drawing. 

The American Revolution
1175-1781

Audio Memory Grammar CD/Book/DVD Review


Thank you to Audio Memory for letting us review the Grammar Songs DVD,CD and Book.

As a homeschool mom I want to make school exciting for our children. I love that Audio Memory makes our day exciting and fun at the same time. Our children are laughing and getting excited about Grammar with these fun songs. I know that they won't forget them for years to come. The dvd has a great rhythm and is very easy to use and learn. I love that Grammar Songs is not a sit down curriculum but rather a jump around and learn curriculum. This makes for a fun and exciting day in our house. I wished that I learned this way. Our children walk around the house singing these songs and don't even realize that they are doing "school".



The Grammar Songs Kit teaches all the parts of speech (except conjunctions) and rules of punctuation and 72 Greek and Latin roots for building vocabulary. It is appropriate for grades 3 - 8 or for anyone who needs help with grammar (secretaries, ESL students, etc.).
It includes a 72-page workbook with song lyrics, illustrations, drills and writing exercises; a Teacher's Guide and a long-playing sound track with 16 songs.
The 16 songs cover: verbs, nouns, sentences, pronouns, compound personal pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, apostrophes, prepositions, direct objects, capitalization, plurals, irregular verbs, commas, quotation marks and Greek & Latin prefixes and suffixes.




One of my other favorite parts is that learning can be done in the car as well as at home. We all have places to go and why not put a educational cd and listen and learn. Audio Memory gives you the oppprtunity to do this and your children can jump around in the car. It makes for fun and exciting time of learning Grammar around town.



Also Available
 Geography Songs States
  Capital Songs
 History Songs
 Multiplication Songs
 Addition Songs
 Subtraction Songs and More

ARMOR OF GOD

D Man one day made the Armor of God out of recycled items. I find that our children are so creative and I love to share that with you all:)

The shield of faith, breastplate of righteousness, sword of the spirit, feet ready and the helmet of salvation. 

Ephesians 6:10-20

New International Version (NIV)

The Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mysteryof the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

I LOVE JESUS


I drew I love Jesus in the sand at the beach not realizing that minutes later I would be sharing Jesus' grace to a man that seemed to be griped with fear. 

When there soul is in anguish remind them Jesus is right there with him. 

Why does fear grip us?
Because we choose to hold onto it.

2 Timothy 1:7
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self control. 
We don't recognize that Jesus took our fear and it was nailed to the cross. A redemptive story of God's love for you and me. 

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.

Are you willing to share his redemptive love?

Are you ashamed of Him?

Jesus' blood washed all of our sins
When a person asks you why do you wear the cross, you remind them that you don't take wearing the cross lightly but rather in deep remembrance of what Our Savior had to endured on the cross for you and me. 

Jesus' blood washed all of our sins. There is power in the blood of Jesus. Don't be ashamed, bring them to Him and introduce them to the Savior. The one who loves them and who has forgiven them.

This gentle man on the beach shared with me that he counsels people that have been sexual abused, addictive to drugs or alcohol which I totally relate to both.

I was able to share how I was able to forgive the man that kidnapped and raped me. But only God can heal a broken heart that's why I need a Savior and this is why everyday I have to run to Him with all things. What Satan meant for bad God meant for GOOD!!! God WILL use your testimony for His glory. I know God saved me from death literally that why I choose to forgive this man.

Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strength you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.


What is forgiveness?

Psalm 34:4
I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from ALL my fears.

LETTING GO!!!

Jesus forgave him, I need to extend my hand out to forgive. Here is the thing my offender could have asked for forgiveness and guess what " He is forgiven". But I live a life of fear, anxiety, and bondage which I lived for years. Who is hurting now, this is why I choose to forgive.

1) He is Forgiven
2) I forgave and freed myself to love beyond measures.

Its a free gift!!
Receive It and Be Free

Romans 16:20
The God of peace will soon crush satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Are you willing to lay it all down at Jesus' feet?
Are you willing love like Jesus loved?
Are you willing to live a free life?
Are you willing to serve like Jesus did?

Do you have a heart for others?
Are you willing to forgive?

Are you willing to surrender your heart to Him?

Our Loving Father is waiting for you to come.

Lay it all down, receive him as your Lord!!!

Trust in Him, no one is more trustworthy.

He Loves YOU!!!

He has so many promises for you

He wants you FREE!!!!

He wants to embrace YOU!!!


Come

Love,

Jesus

Pray this prayer to receive Jesus:

Dear Jesus,

I need you, I can't do this on my own.
Jesus come into my heart and transform me from the inside out.
I surrender my life to you.
I want what you want and I want to desire what you want.
Holy Spirit rain in my life, an ever present flame.
Forgive me of my sins.
Cleanse me from everything.
I receive you into my life and turn from my ways and into your arms Jesus!!!!
Thank You Jesus for saving me.
In Jesus Name:
Amen

Beloved if you prayed that prayer please let me know, because I want to keep you accountable and pray for you too.

Blessings to all that have read and received this message, This message wasn't from me but inspired by The Holy Spirit.
