There are so many wonderful books out there hiding on shelves so I invite you to blog about a book on your shelf, one you're reading or one you found at the library and add your post to Learning All the Time Favourite Resource Link Up

This week ...

Along with my Mom I have embarked on a journey through the bible Cover to Cover. For the past couple of months we have been reading about the feasts the Lord required of the Israelite people. This has made me rather curious about the feasts and how as Christians we can celebrate the fulfillment and teach our children about them.  I found this book and thought I would share it with you.

The book is available from: Amazon, Fishpond, Book Depository. For a free pdf download of 39 pages please visit Heart of Wisdom.

Mum Heart Conference


Have you heard about the Mum Heart Conference up on the Sunshine Coast, Australia ?

This is what Barb has to say about it: "I would love to encourage you on your home schooling journey and introduce you to mums from all around Australia who share your enthusiasm for raising your family - wholeheartedly.
This is not so much a "how to home school" conference ... more of a break away in a beautiful setting to encourage and replenish you and fill your heart to go home inspired to minister to your family.
Last year, I had the privilege of traveling to America to attend Sally Clarkson's Whole Heart Intensive and I am so inspired to pass that encouragement on to you! "

The conference will be held at  Novatel Twin Waters Hotel and there will be three speakers this year.  

I am hoping I can join the ladies in June but still not sure.

Will any of you be attending ?

Blessings

Performance Acceptance Addict

I received an email from Heather over at Raising Mighty Arrows who will be doing a special post next Monday (26 March) inspired by the YouTube clip: Oh How He Loves Us Cardboard Testimony. I had never heard of a cardboard testimony before but have been encouraged and inspired.

The challenge: write a testimony of 10 words ....
There is so much He has done in my life over the years it was really hard.  I settled on my recent journey with HIM.

Chareen: Performance Acceptance Addict 
----->  setting my eyes on Him.


Remove the things devoted to Destruction

You can not stand before your enemies
until you take away from among you 
the things devoted [to destruction]. 

As I read these words I became aware there are many things in my heart that still need to be destroyed before I can become victorious in my walk with the Lord.

As I meditated on this verse I became aware of His current work in me and His challenge for me to be true to myself and who HE has made me to be.

IF I don't I will not be able to stand before my enemies {self doubt, inadequacy, discontentment, performance acceptance, insecurity, ... }.

I need to take away from myself this addiction of trying to find acceptance through my performance {as a mother, a homeschooler, ...} and set my eyes on HIM and trust Him with my heart and lean not on my own understanding.

I just wanted to encourage you, you are not just a MOM you are a daughter (sons) of the King and as such you are Princesses and worthy.  So my friends BE TRUE to YOURSELF and reflect the King.

Blessings
Chareen
I leave this song with you that speaks to my heart about the depth of HIS gift to me through HIS life.
