Multiplication Party!!!
We have been learning our multiplication facts. Once a week the students are quizzed on multiplication facts. Every time they pass with 100% they not only move on to the next number but also earn their way to an ice cream party, they LOVE it!!!

Life is rough, but God is good!
A thousand apologies for the lack of updates. Once you get out of the habit of updating a blog it's hard to start up again. But I've been gently reminded by a few key people in my life to get back on the bandwagon....so here I am!
The last couple of months I have faced challenges both spiritual and physical that have been surpassed by none! I'm not sure how "deep" I want to get on this blog but in an effort to share what's going on in my life I feel that I cannot completely block this out. I have been apart of two incidences where my sense of security has been stripped from me. In the beginning of the year I was mugged by a man on a bike in the middle of the day. The incident lasted no more than a minute. But, I am a changed woman because of that minute. For about a month I lived in a state of constant fear, a fear of man that paralyzed me from everyday activities. It wasn't until I became completely broken and useless that God used my bad situation to turn the change that was happening to me into a good change. I was able to talk with a pastor about some things I could do to greatly reduce the risk of being a victim again. I learned that where I put my fear in is so important. My fear was not in the correct place, I was fearing man more that I was fearing God! Also, I have been learning to accept and take comfort in the fact that God is in control and knows how much I can handle. What a wonderful thing to reflect on! I continue to struggle with safety issues and feel like I walk around with "I will bite you" stamped on my forehead, but I no longer am consumed with paralyzing fear. God has saved me from a life of fearing what man can do to me. For that I am thankful. God is good...all the time!
My kids are great at taking pictures....NOT! I think I'm the only one looking at the camera! Oh well they're so cute and I love them!
