"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze." Isaiah 43:2


"When we choose to do what is right in a given situation, God is worshiped. Even if no one else notices or cares, God does."
~Louie Giglio

My Ponderings!

a.movie came across my path on the story of Hosea. I was then challenged again by that message

Hosea was married

to someone who ran around. And he loved her anyway,

The story portrayed Hosea being told by God to take Gomer to be his wife.

They had children, but she still ran around, then she left for someone who could give her more.

Until she didn't please him any more and she was taken to be sold at the market.

Where Hosea bought her back for alot, which portrayed his love for her.

portraying Gods love for us.

This is the kind of love I want to have, but I'm not there yet.

How do we find a love like that? Only through Christ!!

the little bit of pond Haddie found so she could skate.

 Went from this to this! How time flies!

  The little tiny patches of ice the girls found to skate on!!

 This is all thats left of the poor snowmen!

Paperdolls & Dress-up

 the girls had a lot of fun making chinese paperdolls!

 we are gluing on the clothes and making a border of paperdolls from the different countries we visit on our trip around the world!

 the girls had fun dressing up in some costumes for China and they are holding their passports and little booklet they made today of the animals of China!

 does she look Chinese? they had fun with the costumes anyways!

Levi trying not get in any of the pics, He wouldn't dress up for a picture and wouldn't make paper dolls. We started working on our lapbooks today too.

We are working on a poster for Missionaries around the world so if you know of any from whatever country let us know, we would like to have pictures of them but not necessary!
