HSMJ - In need of your prayer

In my life this week…
Please pray for us.  My eldest son is having some serious health issues and we are in need of specialist appointments and I am anxious for answers and solutions.
As of now my son has been in hospital since Wednesday and so far all the tests have come back negative. (In most ways this is a good thing but at the same time it means that we still don't know why he has no feeling / movement in his legs from mid thigh down.)  We definitely need a revelation as to what is going on.

On a positive note however I placed my order with Sonlight and had the experience of our items arriving in under four days!

In our homeschool this week…
 

Helpful homeschooling tips or advice to share…

iHomeschool Network is hosting a FREE printable link up party extravaganza. 



Erica from Confessions of a Homeschooler currently has World's Greatest Artists Vol 1 and World's Greatest Artisits Vol II for FREE until Sunday.

 I am inspired by…

Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…
  • Saturday -I accompanied my friend to see the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.  The music was beautiful.
  • Sunday - Went for a trip to the beach with friends who came to visit.
  • Monday - Was a good day at home and in the evening I visited my sister with a friend who gave us a tutorial in making an explosion album.  I had fun learning to do this.  Sir N also did exercise class with the L family.
  • Tuesday - We stayed home.  It's school holidays and we are resting. YAY
  • Wednesday - Spent the whole day at hospital with no 1 son.
  • Thursday - spent the afternoon at the hospital.  Still no answers.
  • Friday - Spent a few hours at the hospital and went out my mom.

My favorite thing this week was…


What’s working/not working for us…
  • Having my first born in hospital with no answers and him wanting to check himself out.

Questions/thoughts I have…

Things I’m working on…
On My Bedside Table ...
  •  I finished reading  From a Distance by Tamera Alexander (Currently free on Kindle) while at the hospital with Mr T on Wednesday.
  •  I have a few books but have not read much since Wednesday due to no 1 son's hospitalization.
In Bloggy world I’m reading…
I’m cooking…
  •  Not much.  I have been blessed with two cooked meals from a friend.
On Pinterest I found...
  • A few more pins of interest.  I have been gathering resources to teach Shakespeare in the future with Sir N.
I’m grateful for…
  •  The prayer warriors on the Sonlight Forums as well as my friends and family who are praying for Mr T while he is in hospital.
A photo, video, link, or quote to share…
In the introduction to A Child's History of the World in the introduction the author says this about teaching a child only about their own countries history:
"It only promotes a narrow-mindedness and an absurd conceit, based on utter ignorance of any other peoples and any other times - an intolerant egotism without foundation or fact." Virgil M. Hillyer.

  1. I am so sorry to read of your son's health problems. May he be healed quickly and may you have answers soon.

    Ah, a day at the beach - my husband and I are trying to decide if we should spend the Thanksgiving holiday at the beach :-) Something different than our typical traditions, but the lure of the waves...we'll see.
