Word Filled Wednesday...

Welcome to Word-Filled Wednesday!

The purpose of Word filled Wednesday is to share God’s word (no famous quotes or other literature — only the beautiful word of our Father) through photo’s & a Bible verse!

"He calms the storm,

So that its waves are still."

Psalm 107:29

He calms my storms everyday! Thank you Jesus!

Homeschool Reading list - Grade 8

I haven't shared much of my homeschooling with you lately.... here's a great list of reading I did with my son last year. For some reason most of these books have the theme of rebellion. Actually quite a good topic for 14-year-old boys(grade 8)...you may find some of them interesting.

Grade 8 - suggested reading list

1. The Outsiders - S.E. Hinton

2. Animal Farm: A Fairy Story - George Orwell

3. Lord of the Flies - William Golding

4. Sounder- William H. Armstrong

5. Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury

6. A Separate Peace - John Knowles

7. Out of the Silent Planet (Space Trilogy, Book One) - C.S. Lewis (highly recommended by T1)

You can get all the summaries on-line for free and rent the movies. We found ALL the movies to be disappointing (in comparison to the novels). But, they were interesting to watch and compare to the novels. You can watch the Animal Farm animated movie on you-tube for free but you have to download each scene separately. It was worth it though.

Hope this has been helpful:) Happy Homeschooling!

Word Filled Wednesday...

Be still and know that I am GOD!

Psalm 46:10

I am in love with this verse lately. It seems that every second is filled with SOMETHING! Every now and again the Lord reminds me to 'be still' so I can feel his comfort and never-ending presence...deep breathe...much better.

If life has you filled with something at every moment you can't hear or feel His presence. An old expression is to 'stop and smell the coffee'...I strongly suggest:

BE STILL and feel His presence.

Thanks for stopping by...hope you found this inspiring:)

Wordfilled Wednesday...

John 14:1-6

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going."

This is our memory verse for Sports camp and I can't help but apply it to my own life this week. I feel pulled in many directions and slightly overwhelmed....but with the reassurance of my Savior's Words, I have felt comfort only He can give....I hope you are comforted as well, my dear sisters:)

Blessings to all WFWs--
