Week 17-Answered Prayers

-
I'm going to start off by saying this week was crazy busy.  Just like so many weeks these past few months. Shane and I have been praying about our schedule, our kids, all of our activities, our health, and even our school plans for next year.  We received our answer this week, it came in a voice of reason and concern from a dear friend of ours. More about that in a bit..

School:

Bible: We are continuing on in our Phillipians study and learning great life lessons from Paul.

Science: We studied sedementary rocks this week.  We did some experiments with different types of sand; desert, mountain, stream, clay, etc.  We also examined different types of sedementary rocks.



Math: Just trucking along

History: The girls are continuing with Kit.  Their project this week was to write news articles from the home front.  Logan is still continuing in his history.

Language Arts: Just trucking along here too.




Other happenings this week:

Sunday: The kids performed their skit at church.  They did awesome!! Today was also the first day of our Advent season.


Monday: Logan went to work for his Papa and then to music.  The girls and I went to a sewing workshop.  Lillian had Taekwondo and Savannah and I went to pick up Logan at music.







Tuesday: We got out all the Christmas decorations and began decorating.

Wednesday: Lillian went to kids club, Logan and Savannah went to trap practice.  We also had a meeting with Logan's new care coordinator. Then church.



Thursday: We made homeless kits.  Things started to unravel today as well.  I had a bad day full of emotionalism and my social anxiety was craziness.  Lillian had an emotional breakdown of sorts, which caused me to as well.  Then that dear friend I was talking about called me.  She just wanted to check on us.  God sent her a dream that described our chaos perfectly. She let me vent.  She spoke reassuring words. We have our answer.


Friday: We had Geography Through Art co-op class.  We ran a ton of errands.  Then we came home.


Saturday: We sold some rabbits finally.  I took Savannah to do her Christmas shopping.  Shane, Logan, and Lillian worked in the shop on the bathroom.


We have made an official Wilson Family Slow Down plan.  We are going to continue some of our obligations for December, and start a new schedule in January.  I will be doing a separate post about our plan.

Week 4 in Review

I really can't believe it is September!  This was our 4th week in school. We still are not doing every subject every day.  What we typically try to do is one day we do our morning subjects of Meteorology, Bible, Geography, Art, Math, and Language Arts, and then the next day do our afternoon subjects of PE/Health, History, Spelling for Savannah, Reading for Lillian, Logan's Elective, Writing, and Science.  We do this until we are familiar with our new curriculum and are more independent so I can divide my time up where I am most needed. We do this until after fair week. For some reason we are never able to get full days of school in until after fair.  I use to fight this and get all stressed out about not having full days...now we just roll with it.  We still end the year right where we need to be, and we get to enjoy getting started back in school instead of it being stressful. Here are a few highlights of this past week. The week started on Sunday with churc...

I didn't keep day to day records this week, but here are the highlights. We had church on church days. 😊 We celebrated an Adoption of some friends of ours. They make such a lovely family, and we will continue to pray for their growth and bonding. Lillian did a couple of science experiments.  She made a tornado in a bottle and an ocean in a bottle. Dad had help from the kids this week with the barn. They finished enclosing it.  All they lack now is making the doors. Lillian, Buddy, and I went to the park one morning. We picked a theme for our homeschool year.  It is going to be "Having Fun in Arkansas."  We are planning to try and visit quite a few state parks that we have not visited before. We will also try to take in a few festivals, AGFC classes, or just look around at what we can find. We were in the hay field one afternoon. Lillian was a great helper. One of our cats had kittens. We have lots of deer coming to o...

Deuteronomy 31:8 "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." I know Jesus is always with me.  I know He will never leave me.  I take great comfort in that knowledge.  However I often forget the last part of that verse, to not be afraid.  Even more often, I forget to not be discouraged.  I have found myself discouraged a lot this week, and even some pretty scary events have happened this week, one of which is not my story to tell.  We are struggling.  I pray we all find our footing, and joy again soon. Last Saturday when we went to pick up the kids from Meme and Papa's, Logan had made knickerbocker glory from his Harry Potter cookbook.  It was delicious! He did an amazing job! Sunday the kids stayed with Meme and Papa again while Shane and I went to church to teach our classes.  The flu is so bad here!  We are trying to keep f...
