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!
"
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.
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.

I leave this song with you that speaks to my heart about the depth of HIS gift to me through HIS life.
It has the largest butterfly diversity of any country.
Is home to a few endangered animal species.
Has the third largest river delta in the world.
Really enjoyed reading the folk tales from Nigeria.
The flag is green and white. The green means farming and the white means unity/peace.
The country is in Africa.
The children wear uniforms to school.
They speak English.
They pump oil and sell it to make fuel.
The capital is: Abuja.
One of the animals that we looked at this week is the Gorilla. Werribee Open Range Zoo now has Gorilla's on site so I rang Paul yesterday morning and asked if we could come in and see the Gorilla's behind the scenes as a wrap up for our week in Nigeria. He contacted those in charge who said YES. So at 4 pm we were off to see Gorilla's up close and personal. All visitors have to wear masks.
Just look at the size of his hand ! That's 2" weld mesh.
There are three Gorillas at WORZ. They are fed by seperate keepers to prevent them arguing over the food. Here is a 20 second clip of Paul feeding one. This one on one time is also used to check on the animals well being and keeps up with their daily training.
West African Benne Cakesover at Confessions of a Homeschooler My family really enjoyed these. We used greaseproof paper when baking which made it really easy to remove the biscuits. We baked them for 5-8 min any longer and they were over cooked.
