I asked God to provide help. He answered.

 Which each new school year there are more assignments added to the older grades and thus I spend a longer amount of time teaching in school. I have been praying for God to bring someone who could come along side me and help me teach my daughters. I have been praying about this for several years now and not relented. I have found myself falling further behind in school and would often have to finish up over the weekends. I am happy to announce that God has answered my prayer and brought Sarah to come serve our family. She has committed to a year and I have already noticed what a difference she makes in a normal day. She is teaching the younger two which allows me to invest well into the older ones. It has also freed us up to be able to do more outside of our home. We love to tell Bible stories and have gotten to do this at one of the local schools in the past. I haven't had the time to in this last year. But with Sarah's arrival we we had a chance to share about Jonah trying to hide from God and God showing His power by using a big fish. We helped the students make a movable fish out of construction paper so that it could help them remember what this story was about. As always my prayer is that down the road God would speak to one of these little children in a dream or through a message and they wouldn't run from Him or tried to hide from Him but come and follow Him.

One other way Sarah's help has freed up my time is we have gotten to go to the farm more often on Saturdays instead of finishing up school work. There is a new family in town that we really enjoy being together. There children are around the same ages as my daughters and they also are homeschooled. Last weekend we were at the farm together and the children never stopped playing different games the entire time. We are so thankful to God for the many gifts He is given.

Ashley, one of the interns, also helped me with homeschool. She tells captivating stories about her childhood.

A while back we told the story of Sharach, Meshach, and Abendego. The craft is still hanging on the wall.

It is such a joy for me to watch my daughters getting involved.
