It’s not very often that I find FREE resources online that our children actually love to learn with. Most of the time they are fairly cheesy so I was thrilled when a friend told me about starfall on a recent camping trip. It’s been such a blessing that I had to share it with you all. You will notice there are a few pagan links but our children know not to click on those after discussing it with them.
Dalton and Irelyne are enjoying the activities together. They practice letter sounds and listen to the stories. Irelyne is proud that she is helping Dalton learn.
Rebekah reads well but there is such a mixture of fun learning activities that it’s been great for her as well.
Even though the content is not advanced enough for Gregory it’s been good for him as well.

Check it out!

Hope your week is going well!

Our family met Jimmie Black last year at Sukkot. It was the very first time we had ever worshipped to the TRUE name of our creator! There are no words to describe the rejoicing within my spirit! Jimmie has a gift of drawing and leading a person in to the throne room. It is a true gift.

Since then he has been our family favorite. Most of you know that we are co-hosting a Sukkot this year at YHWH’s leading. Just today David called to tell me that he spoke to Jimmie and he will be joining us at our Sukkot for a few days! We are all thrilled at the news and the ways that Yah continues to blow our minds bringing HIS people together for HIS appointed time to use their gifts and talents for HIS glory!!

This evening marks the beginning of a new day and another fast/prayer day for our Sukkot. A small group of us have committed to this each Wednesday as we seek the will of our Father during this special time.

If you are still looking/praying for a gathering place this year, please pray about joining us. It’s going to be an awesome time! We just spent this last weekend setting up our detailed schedule and have plans to open up our home to about 60 people in two weeks for fellowship and to do more fine tuning. Our Sukkot website will reflect all the changes as they are made.

May YHWH be glorified in all that we do!

Shalom Alecheim!!

As our family continues to walk on this narrow path and rid ourselves from the made made traditions and doctrines, we are often asked about legalism in terms of being Torah observant. True freedom is found in serving and worshiping our creator as we were commanded and true joy follows! I searched my blog in an effort to find the following video sure that I had posted it in the past but couldn’t find it.

Once again in this three part series Michael does a wonderful job explaining how the Believers in the pagan capitol of Colossi were warned to be wary of heathen traditions that would spoil the followers of Messiah. Despite Shauls (Paul) warning, the modern Gentile Christian church has turned a deaf ear to the Creators instructions and has adopted the form, philosophy, and traditions of Babylonian sun god worship.

Col. 2:16-17 “Let no (pagan or religious) man therefore judge you in (eating clean) meat, or in (kosher) drink, or in respect of an (observance of the Lord’s) holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: which are a shadow of things (yet) to come…”

Shabbat Shalom (sabbath peace) from our home to yours!

We had the opportunity to travel with David to Washington D.C. where he had to go on business. Along our way we made a quick stop to see David’s Mom and brother in Alabama which we all enjoyed. Then we pushed on through over the next two days.

Once there, the children and I squeezed each day to the fullest enjoying all the sites while Daddy worked. We had the Metro down! We walked ALL over that city! We typically met up with David in the afternoon for dinner and more sightseeing. My favorite was the Holocaust Museum for sure.

After a week, we were ready to cut it short and head to greener pastures. I am definitely NOT a city girl! We headed south to Colonial Williamsburg. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G is all this history buff can say!! We spent 4th of July weekend there and only hoped to stay longer but after being away from home almost two weeks and looking at 22 hours of driving time ahead, we had to pull ourselves away at last.

Hope you like the photos! Sorry to those with dial up. I realize it could take a while to download them all. There are SO many more than what you see here. But it was hard to choose which ones to put on here. Enjoy!

Thank you Abba for the opportunity to have this special time together to learn and enjoy one another!
