Why I love my Online Bible Study

So instead of talking about homeschooling or my family today, I want to take a minute to invite you to join in the next Proverbs 31 Ministries Online Bible Study.  You can visit the Proverbs 31 Ministries Online Bible Study page to sign up.  The study begins on September 22nd and the book is fantastic!  While real life might be crazy, this Bible Study won't be.  You can follow along on the blog for daily posts or if you prefer you can participate in a Facebook Study Live for a different kind of experience.

I have been involved with Proverbs 31 Ministries OBS (Online Bible Study) for about a year and a half now.  I started off just doing the study and being in a Facebook Small group for Let.It.Go.  by Karen Ehman.  I absolutely fell in love with the study.  I love that I don't have to be at a certain place at a certain time every week.  In my Facebook small group or with the Study Blog, I can interact on my time around my schedule.  But every time I visit the study page or the Facebook Small group I am tremendously blessed.

Back in the spring, I took a leap and decided to volunteer as a Facebook Small group leader.  I helped lead our group for the study for the Limitless Life by Derwin Gray.  It was one of the best experiences of my life.  I can't wait for this study to begin.  Over the next few weeks, you can expect to see more posts from me regarding #TheBestYes!

So if you are looking for a Bible Study that gives you flexibility I invite you to take a look and to join us for #TheBestYes!

It's been a while

So it has been a while since I posted.  Life has been moving right along.  We are getting settled into our new home.  Everyone seems to really be enjoying themselves.  School is still going on at a reduced level.  However, this time next week, we will be back at full force doing all subjects.  We still need to add Literature, IEW-SICC, Latin. Art and Music to our day along with our Wisdom Books.  So Monday morning will begin that.

Our family labored on Labor Day Weekend.  We put up corn, beets, tomatoes, peppers, and worked on getting pickles done.  The pickles will get put up today.  I will try to post photos later.

This weekend Dennis will be attending a change of command ceremony.  The children will be working on school.

I will spend most of the weekend planning school materials and getting ready for the Proverbs 31 Ministries Online Bible Studies new Bible Study - "The Best Yes" by Lysa Terkeurst.  I am really looking forward to this study.  It has been nice to take the summer off, but I am ready to get back into things.  In two weeks, Dennis will be preaching at the Salvation Army Corps.  I am looking forward to hearing him speak.

On August 22nd, Dennis and I celebrated 22 years of marriage.   We spent the day together.  We went to Carlisle, PA to get his DA photo done.  We ate lunch at the Macaroni Grill in Harrisburg, PA.  From there we went to the outlets at Hershey.  We took a ride through the Hershey Resort Campground.  We really want to take our family camping there.  Then we came back through Selinsgrove and spent some time looking around at some stores.  We found a refrigerator we fell in love with.  Then we went to the Outback Steakhouse in State College.  The service was not as good as we would have wanted.  But the food was pretty good.  One of the most enjoyable parts of the ride was seeing the countryside and all the Amish farms/people/buggies.  Well I guess that is enough for now.
