"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
Romans 12:2



Let's Go Geography - Review

Now that I am starting over with teaching elementary age in our homeschool again, it's amazing to me how many new resources are out there compared to when I first started homeschooling 13 years ago. I was recently introduced to Let's Go Geography. They offer a neat and in depth homeschool and co-op program that spans a total of 3 years. We were given access to their first year of their geography program.

No Longer a Slave


This song has been a great reminder to me that I am no longer a slave to fear (or a slave to others). God has said that I am to fear not, for he is going to turn things around and bless me in the presence of my enemies and has reminded me to hold onto my faith. Faith ALWAYS overcomes fear! 
I AM a child of God!
Psalm 7, Psalm 27, Psalm 31, Psalm 34, Psalm 52
