giving thanks.. #651-660

Ephesians 1:15-23


 15 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, 
16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 
18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 
19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might 
20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 
21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him ashead over all things to the church, 
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

651.  my daughter’s last visit to the dentist until she needs a cleaning in July.

652.  our dentist helping my daughter feel calm and relaxed.

653.  The friendship of the dentist working with us on payments.

654.  so thankful for the sweet phone calls from online friends.

655.  thankful for the online friends who pray and will study the bible with me.

656.  those precious few minutes of alone time with hubby.

657.  lazy Saturdays with the family.

658.  all the rain that we have been getting.

659.  the one afternoon of sunshine, between rain showers.

660.  Ephesians Bible study at church and online.  Amazing how God works.  God must have something in store for me, for there to be two opportunities for a bible study on Ephesians.

I hope you will consider joining me and the others at A Holy Experience!

It is that time again to update how I have done on my 3 in 30 goals. Not only did I have golas for my family, homeschool and myself, I also set goals for my blog.

1. Seeking God daily. That means making sure I have my quiet time, reading my bible daily. I am taking part in B90Days with a group of fellow homeschoolers. I am also taking part in the 31 Days to Pray for my Spouse.

I can honestly say that I have successfully accomplished this every day this past week. I am so glad that I decided to do Bible in 90 Days and 31 Days to Pray for my Spouse.  It is amazing what God will open up your eyes to when you open up your heart!

2. Have the kitchen cleaned nightly, I can wake up to a clean slate the next morning. (I have been doing this the last couple of weeks and enjoying waking up to a clean kitchen the next morning!

I only missed one night of cleaning the kitchen this past week and I could tell that my did start off a little differently. It definitely helps me to have the kitchen cleaned every night!

3. Drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day.

This is still a work in progress. While I do love drinking water, I usually have a hard time in the winter. We have a spring well and during winter, our water comes out extremely cold, which in turn makes me feel colder. We have been having some cold days and I don’t need any help to feeling cooler! I need to fill a pitcher of water and leave it out to get to room temp. Perhaps that will help me drink a little more each day!

Blog Goals:

1. Work on getting my WordPress Blog up and running. My goal is to be switched over to WordPress by February 1st.

I was able to add a few more pictures and a couple of widgets.  I am slowly getting there to finishing the page.  I just need to get my posts and comments from Blogger moved to the new website.

2. Blog at least twice a week about our homeschooling journey.

I have been able to do this, this week!  I have posted on Wednesday and Saturday about what we have accomplished in homeschooling this week.  I am also working on a weekly wrap-up.  I am hoping to have it finished today!

I think I did okay with my goals this week.  While I was able to accomplish most of what I wanted to, I still have work with others.  Until next week!

Blessings!

would you bull leap for fun?

would you bull leap for fun?

As I said Wednesday, we are really enjoying Mystery of History.  Our next lesson was just as interesting and fun as was the mummy lesson.

Have you ever heard of the Minoans?  They are a group of people that lived on the island of Crete.  They invited this crazy game call bull leaping!  What is bull leaping you ask?  Bull leaping is where you run towards a bull and then jump over it from the head towards the rear of the bull.  Crazy, I tell you!

They still do bull leaping in the south west of France.  We even found a video of a group of young men doing this!

Since we didn’t have a bull to practice bull leaping, we decided to play a game of leap frog.  It’s the same, isn’t it?  😉
