It has been cold but it is supposed to be warming the next few days. That will be a nice change especially for those who have to go out and work in this frigid weather!
I won a free session of Body Talk from my friend, Dawn. Sunday night she gave me my first ever session. It lasted for over 2 hours though it didn't seem that long! Some things came up that could only have come from God and Dawn was able to help me through them. Little did we know that through the session God equipped me for what would happen yesterday. I really can't go into details but "Strength" was one of the things that came up in the session. In my mind I had believed I wasn't strong or didn't have strength. The verse, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" was the verse that was given to me. That encouraged me as I was able to be strong in a situation that came up yesterday. I just thought the timing amazing and totally from God! Thank you, Lord!!!!
I don't really know much about Body Talk but you can read about it on my friends blog: http://dawns-hope.blogspot.com/ . She writes about it on her blog and has the website listed on her sidebar. Clara's sessions helped me to understand it a little better. Dawn was very ill and was close to death a few years ago and credits Body Talk to saving her life.
I can hardly believe it is Wednesday already. How can the weeks go by so fast? The children are doing well in school. Daniel is almost finished with 3A in his Singapore Math book. He is getting getting a break from multiplying and dividing this week as he is learning more about adding money. He really like that!! He keeps improving in his spelling and reading abilities which is so uplifting to both him and me. We have been in France the last couple of weeks and have been enjoying all the library books and videos we found. Daniel is getting better at playing the geography game. Next week we will "fly" to Germany.
Yesterday after Daniel finished spelling on the spelling board Leah wanted to spell. Doing two things at once I gave Leah some cvc words to spell with the letter tiles on the board while dictating sentences to Daniel. Daniel got all his words from 6 sentences right!! And Leah was able to sound out and spell: cat, dog, man, men, and several other words that I can't remember right now!!! Was I surprised! I think reading will come very easy for her. I am ready for that!
The last week we were in Norway the children made these for art. We had studied about the "Reindeer People". They live in Lapland in northern Norway and herd reindeer year round. Their traditional clothing is bright blue with red and yellow designs. Leah's is on the left and Daniel's is on the right. I helped Leah with hers but Daniel did his all on his own.
As I said in my other post I made some knipfle for Brandon on Sunday. I just had to include this picture as it turned out so delicious!
Now I need to go make my hungry son some pancakes!
