Hi-jacked by pop-up {don't click the link}

I recently changed browsers and I noticed I had a weird pop-up appear when I clicked on my blog, saying you are an Indiana winner...hmm.  If you have seen this pop-up don't click the link it is not me and I don't know where or why it is on my blog.  Hopefully this non computer savvy blogger can figure it out.  And another thing sometimes I hear a women in the background talking, selling something this is also not me.  I am not selling anything, nor am I running a contest.  So please don't click on any pop-ups.  I will try to figure this out soon.  So sorry if you thought you won something.  I know God is in control and will help me remedy this.  Praying you all have an amazing Christmas and a Blessed New Year.

Little Hearts For His Glory~Week 14

Here we are again for another end of  week post..LHFHG has been taking us through the life and ministry of Jesus.  We have learned a lot about our Lord and His life on this earth and how amazing He is!  He is still so amazing because as we all know He is still very much alive in the flesh at the right hand of the father and is very much alive in us as believers!  I am so thankful that my children and I know Him personally. 

Throughout His life here on earth He was nothing short of awesome.  As we walked through history this week we’ve learned so much about the extravagant love, peace and faith He walked in and to sum it up…WOW!  He has not one ounce of selfishness or fear in Him. He is faith, love, hope, joy, peace, honor, purity.  He loved everyone He came in contact with, even those that wanted to hurt Him. 

During this time of year as we celebrate His birth we are truly blessed by the greatest gift, the gift of true love and the gift of sight, we no longer live life blinded to the reality of our purpose which is our relationship with Him and with each other.  If anything, I want my children to really understand how important it is that we have the honor to serve an amazing God and friend. It is such a blessing as a mother to see my children carry the light of God for all to see and I know that God has a great purpose for them to change the lives of many.  Thank You Lord!

Here are a few xtra things we did this week..

Jasmine drew Rapunzel in her journal this week…

Jada has been doing great in listening skills, When I read the chapter book to them or any book for that matter, I tell them to listen with their eyes, ears and heart.  Jada has been  listening and answering questions correctly.  She’s really listening…Yay! Here are a couple of her journal entries.

They love anything that has to do with baby Jesus so when I saw THESE I knew we had to add them in.



I found this Christmas tree which came with a printable scripture also.  Ezekiel 31:7  So the tree was great and beautiful, with its’ branches.  Its’ long roots reached down to the many waters.  
 
 

Dot to Dots


These are cute Roll-Gingerbread man.  They enjoyed rolling the dice and drawing each part of the gingerbread man. Jasmine beat Jada by a leg..lol.

We hope you enjoy your Christmas and New year.  May God pour out His blessings upon you and your families this season!  Love & Blessings to all!

Change Your Atmosphere

Have you ever seen your child do something naughty and it reminded you of yourself or your spouses behavior?  Unfortunately this is a reality in our house sometimes.  I'll see my oldest daughter talking to her little sister in a wrong way and say oh that sounds like something I would say...eek,  I gotta quit saying that or acting like that!

Our kids can only do what they see us do...They learn from who we are and what we do more than what we try to teach them.  I am constantly checking and rechecking how I act in front of my kids with my spouse  or with other people.   It is vital that we know what spirit we are walking in at all times we are either choosing the enemies character or God's character.  We need to be aware of fear, anger, selfishness, wrong attitudes, unbelief and doubt.

When Jesus walked on the earth He walked in complete confidence of who He was and still is, God's son incarnate{embodied in flesh}.  He was a man of GREAT character.  He loved, He laughed, He healed, He taught, He did nothing, but what the father showed Him to do. John 5:19 says Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.  This scripture speaks a lot to me-obedience, honor, integrity, love, strength, anointing, power, faith, and trust in the father.  These are all the characteristics I would love my home realm to be and also the realm of God we walk with when we leave the house.

If we were to actually put this principal of only doing what the father tells us to do, we would fill our homes with only peace, love and joy because that is the character and atmospheric realm of God.  Wouldn't that be amazing to always be filled with the peace and love of the father.  We actually can...Yes I said it!  We can!  If we make the decision today to follow God's will and not our own we will break off every wrong characteristic that our children are now learning from us.  They will be raised in complete love, joy, peace, faith and obedience.  Wow can you imagine the anointing! wooo!  I'm getting excited just thinking about it.  Glory!!  So let's make a pact to only do what the father tells/shows us to do and break off all the characteristics of the enemy in our household. It’s never to late all things are possible to them that believe!  Believe, trust and wait on the Lord, He will guide you!

Moments to Remember~Pencil Grip

    "Moments to Remember was developed as a simple way to look back on our week as homeschoolers and find photos that encompass the memories we want to remember.

The week may have been tough, there may have been more bumps than smiles, but in the end these are the moments that keep us going, the ones we need to remember."

My little lady Jordan now 18.5 months, has been rapidly growing up before my eyes.  She is moving so fast!  I’ve always heard your baby is the fastest to grow of course I’m gonna be reluctant to believe that,  yep but I am just now coming out of denial!  She is moving leaps and bounds!  I truly think it is a ploy to catch up with her big sisters.  She watches them and learns immediately.  Amazing!! 

The other day during school the older girls were working on their journals, so I gave Jordan a piece of paper and a pencil to doodle…To my amazement she held her pencil the proper way!  Now this may seem small to some a yall, but I was stunned.  So there it is my moment to remember for this week.  My little lady and her perfect pencil grip!!   No joke! Check it out!

Little Hearts for His Glory~Weeks 12 & 13

So I’m going to try to make this as short and sweet as possible, just so I can catch up on my wrap-ups.  Our homeschool has been going amazing…I truly believe this is the best decision I ever made in my life!!  {No exaggeration}  Yes most days are hard, but I would not replace a single one, cause with every trial comes GREAT reward!  And we have truly found a way to even rejoice during our trials and seek God out for the solution.  Current trial being math, neither of my girls like it at all!  I’ve tried many different techniques, but they don’t get it and don’t want to.  So I press on seeking God first in every area, yes, math included and I will wait on Him for an answer.  So all that said here are a few pics from weeks 12 and 13.

Jasmine’s journal lately has been mainly drawings of her beloved bunny:)

Jada journaling about The Adventures of Danny Meadow Mouse.

Jada measuring with blocks and paperclips.

Jasmine doing her Funnix math.

Jasmine had fun doing alpha Christmas tree mats.

I printed this last year from abcteach.com but couldn’t find link again…sorry.

Again I printed these read, write & make mats from a unit I found HERE last year and can’t find the unit anymore.

This sort tree was in the same unit the read, write & make mats were in above.

~Sister Teacher-I blogged about it HERE.

They made these beaded wreath ornaments-

Things you’ll need:

• beads
• pipe cleaner
• bow

Bead the pipe cleaner, twist the ends together to form a circle, and fasten a bow and done.

Paper stockings are a must for Christmas craft..We do one every year. This one takes me back to my early years. 

What you’ll need:

• Construction paper
• Yarn or ribbon
• Hole puncher
• Beads
• Stickers, glitter etc.

Cut out 2 stockings for each child, hole punch all around the edges, lace the yarn through

each hole starting at top going all the way around and ending at top {tape the end of yarn so it doesn’t fray} bead ends of each yarn piece and tie a bow. decorate with stickers, glitter etc.   Now you can hang it up and place some goodies in it.

 

 Wreath scissor practice.

I made this word search for colors worksheet HERE.

Shwew…..That’s it for our 2 week wrap-up.  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a blessed weekend!
