Sunday Hymn - My Soul Longs for the Lord

My Soul Longs for the Lord

My soul longs for the Lord in a weary land
Wells are dry and I am empty, only dust in my hands
How I yearn for streams of mercy where my soul can be restored
“Come and drink” Jesus calls me, and you will thirst no more”
Oh the fullness of Christ, Word of God.

Living Word you walked among us, our Emmanuel
And you spoke into the darkness, broke the powers of hell
Grace and mercy flowed from Calvary, to the valley of our need
It is done, “It is finished,” From every sin set free
Oh the victory of Christ, Word of God, Word of life

How often in the stillness have I heard your voice
Every whisper, every promise calls my heart to rejoice
In the quiet of the morning, through the watches of the night
In the fire of my struggles, there’s courage for the fight
Oh the power of Christ, Word of God, Word of life

My soul longs to walk closer with the Lord I serve
More than riches, more than favour I delight in Your Word
Turn my gaze from all that’s worthless, set my heart on things above
May my life tell of your goodness, Your way of truth and love
Oh the wisdom of Christ, Word of God, Word of life

My soul longs for the day I will see your face
Hear Your shout of jubilation, no more tears, death or pain
Every word at last accomplished, Heaven songs and earth replies
To our God be the glory let all creation cry
Praise and honour to Christ, Word of God, Word of life

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.

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...
