Monday Ponderings {Day 23}
Save me, God,
for the water has risen to my neck.
I have sunk in deep mud, and there is no footing;
I have come into deep water,
and a flood sweeps over me.
But as for me, LORD,
my prayer to you is for a time of favor.
In your abundant, faithful love, God,
answer me with your sure salvation.
~Psalm 69:1-2, 13 CSB
“Ease your whiskers, rest your paws,
Pies and puddings fill the stores.
Sweetly dream the night away,
Till sunshine brings another day.”

Prayer for the coming week…
“The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me, his word was on my tongue.”
King David, from 2 Samuel 23:2
Hello, Friends! ♥️☕️🌻I realize I’ve been a bit scarce as we dive into our new home educating year, I hope to get back to my 180 Day Project soon. Here’s a few shots from our week…
How was your week? Ours was good, albeit looong! 😁♥️☕️🌻🌿
Tuesday Tidbit {Day 21}
Beware of any hesitation to abandon to God. It is the meanest characteristics of our personality that are at work whenever we hesitate, there is some element of self-interest that won’t submit to God.

Saturday Examen + Homeschool Snapshots ~ first week {Day 20}
“No one ever cared for me like Jesus
His faithful hand has held me all this way
And when I’m old and grey
And all my days
Are numbered on the earth
Let it be known in You alone
My joy was found”
~Stephanie Gretzinger
Song that has been carrying me through this week. 🥹♥️✨
We had a great start to our homeschool year this week. I changed our multiple journals that we’ve used in the past to one (plus a group one) for each of us and that is going very well! We so far are enjoying our books…the clear favorites of the week are our continuing a summer read of Jane of Lantern Hill by LM Montgomery, By the Shores of Silver Lake by Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Around the World in 80 Days audiobook by Jules Verne. I attached some things to meal/tea time and it’s working well. I so enjoy reading public library picks with my youngers in spare moments. I’ve worked out a rhythm for working through individual work my youngest to oldest and it’s working wonderfully. We still have some wrinkles to iron out as my 12th grader 😭♥️ is working two days a week this year and we haven’t hit the co ops we are in yet. They start next week! Overall, I’m pleased with the forward motion. How was your week? Bless you as you put your hand to YOUR plow! ♥️✨🌻📚🥰☕️💌🖤

Let the child himself do that which the teacher usually does for him. Let the child by narration supply both question and answer.
from Karen Glass, Know & Tell, quoting the P.N.E.U
Monday Ponderings {Day 17}
Monarchs are “tough and powerful, as butterflies go.” They fly over Lake Superior without resting; in fact, observers there discovered a curious thing, instead of flying directly south, monarchs crossing high over the water take an inexplicable turn towards the east. Then when they reach an invisible point, they all veer south again. Each successive swarm repeats this mysterious dogleg movement, year after year. Entomologists actually think that the butterflies might be “remembering” a long-gone, looming glacier.
Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, p.258

But I will sing of your strength
and will joyfully proclaim
your faithful love in the morning.
For you have been a stronghold for me,
a refuge in my day of trouble.
To you, my strength, I sing praises,
because God is my stronghold ~
my faithful God.
Psalm 59:16-17 CSB

Saturday Examen {Day 15}
“Contemplation is life itself, fully awake, fully active, fully aware that it is alive. It is a spiritual wonder. It is spontaneous awe at the sacredness of life, of being. It is gratitude for life.”

How about you? What are some blessings shining out? ✨✨✨
Monday Ponderings {Day 13}
Nothing is trivial that concerns a child; his foolish-seeming words and ways are pregnant with meaning for the wise. It is in the infinitely little we must study the infinitely great; and the vast possibilities, and the right direction of education, are indicated in the open book of the little child’s thoughts.
Charlotte Mason, Home Education, p. 5
One week here before we start back to formal {home} school! Praying 🙏🏻 and trusting. 🧡💛💚
