10 Top Prayer Requests

Top Ten {Tuesday}
As believers living in a sinful world and with sinful hearts, we have many needs. God invites us to draw close to His throne of grace to obtain mercy and grace in time of need. So, I thought it would be nice to share my top ten needs and prayer requests as I seek to grown in maturity and in grace.

1. A growing love for God - God is so good to us and has done so much for us, how can we not grow in love for Him. Without love we are nothing and we will not grow.

2. A growing love for and  knowledge of  God's Word - without God's Word will will remain infants.

3. A submissive heart and spirit - without a submissive attitude we will always fight the work of the Holy Spitit and it will translate in our relationships with others.

4. A servant Heart - we are called to servanthood; serve Christ and serve others, just as Christ's example of a good servant.

5. A willingness to be inconvenienced - this is a hard one. This means denying ourselves constantly and seek to ger rid of the me me me attitude.

6. Patience and more patience - this does not need any comment. We all know of our need for it, especially as homeschoolers.

7. Gracious and loving speech - we communicate so much in the way we speak, it needs to reflect God's grace.

8. To grown in diligence and discipline - as homeschoolers diligence and discipline are keys and I so need to improve in this area and be an example to my kids.

9. A deeper and better understanding of God's love and grace - as we understand better God's love and grace towards us it will compel us  (to quote the apostle Paul in 2 Cor. 14-15) to godly living and to glorify our father.

10.  To grow in wisdom - Oh that I learn to think God's way !

Writing & Rhetoric - A Writing Curriculum Review and a Giveaway

Curriculum choosing and buying can be a very daunting task. So many subjects to cover, so many curriculum to browse though, and so many companies to consider. Today I would like to share with you a product and a company that I have come to hold in high regards. When it comes to teaching writing to the boys I was not sure which way to go, as I would not exactly consider myself a great writer. Then came along Writing and Rhetoric from Classical Academic Press. I heard about it when the second book in a series of twelve just released, and I was immediately intrigued. You see I homeschool classically, and writing is an integral part of it. Classical Academic Press puts out products geared towards classical homeschooling, so there you had  the first common ground. I was searching for something that would teach them what writing was, and guide them through the process incrementally, without bombarding them with pages and pages of writing right from the start. I found what...

Our Current Homeschool Routine - Virtual Homeschool Fair - Week 2

For week 2 of the Virtual Homeschool Fair, which is hosted by Homeschooling Hearts and Minds , we are talking method of homeschooling. When it comes to the how of homeschooling, and the method that we all follow, with the 20 plus blogger participating I can guarantee you, no method will be the same. Homeschooling is a lifestyle and a path unto a goal or toward a direction that each family sets for itself. For us, this encompasses academic rigor, as well as Christian values and depth of understanding of how to live in this world as Christians. To that end, earlier on we had settled on a classical education. 10 years into it, I cannot say we have been very good classical homeshooler. We did not follow the method and philosophy to a T but instead adapted it to our family's routine and rhythm. We became more relaxed classical homeschooler. I had good intentions with the Latin and Greek, but not enough discipline and it did not appeal to the boys; my oldest son did two years, the...

2019-2020 Curriculum Line Up- Grade 11 and Grade 9

Happy New Year to all! After a two year hiatus, I am resurrecting this blog. Life has been such that keeping up with this blog had become a really low priority, but I kind of miss it, so here I am giving it a try again.

With a 14 year old (9th grade) and a 16 year old (11th grade) I really feel like time is sleeping away; but that is the reality of life. We are but a vapor...
