Moriah’s Love Language

This week I gave Moriah the online 5 Love Languages Test. Her answers surprised me at first. She was filtering everything through what she would like to hear from her friends and this was the outcome:

But when I told her to add “from Mom and Dad” to each question the outcome changed:

Moriah LOVES giving gifts and receiving gifts. This past Christmas she spent her own money and bought gifts for her Dad & me, her teachers, & friends. She loves to give! How can I bless her without breaking my bank account?

* I can let her choose the dessert to bring home to everyone

* Gum & mints are Moriah’s favorite

* When I see something that she needs, present it to her like a special gift

* Write her notes on her mirror or around her room

Because she feels loved through quality time:

* Sit down and watch a show with her

* Take her to the store with me

* Play a game with her

Father, help me to love Moriah in the way she needs love. You know her inside and out. Thank you that you’re the one leading, guiding, and teaching my beautiful daughter!

In the hot tub that afternoon I met an amazing missionary woman who began asking me about my kiddos. Not only did she ask me about their ages, but she also asked what each of their personalities were like. I had to really think about that question. She was genuinely interested in me and it felt amazing! This is going to take alot of effort, but through the power of the Holy Spirit it can be done! I am trusting that this will change my relationships, even with my...

My Votive Offering: 1st Grade Curriculum

On Sunday my husband was telling about an ancient Hebrew tradition called Votive Offering . Votive offerings "refers to those things that are vowed or dedicated to God...as an expression of reverence or thanksgiving."- Thanks, Orthodoxy Wiki This is my Votive offering or Thank offering: I have been searching for curriculum for a few months now, researching what will be best for my children. I knew I wanted something that followed the principles of Charlotte Mason and Leadership Education . I didn't care much for My Father's World curriculum a year ago when I was searching out a Kindergarten program, but my philosophy of education has changed so much in a year! I had settled on their 1st grade curriculum for Isaiah with just a couple supplements for Moriah. I needed reassurance from the Lord that this was the right curriculum for us so that when we get into the thick of it all I can rest in that assurance. So, I laid a fleece out for the Lord.....
