"Call On Jesus"

by Nicole C. Mullen

from "Talk About It"

Verse 1:

I'm so very ordinary, nothing special on my own.

Oh, I have never walked on water,

And I have never calmed a storm.

Sometimes I'm hiding away from the madness around me

Like a child who's afraid of the dark

Chorus:

But when I call on Jesus,

All things are possibleI can mount on wings like eagles' and soar

When I call on Jesus,Mountains are gonna fall

'Cause He'll move heaven and earth to come rescue me when I call

La la la la la, la la la la la

Verse 2:

Weary brother, broken daughter,

Widowed, Widowed lover you're not alone

If you're tired and scared of the madness around you

If you can't find the strength to carry on

Chorus:

When you call on Jesus,

All things are possible

You can mount on wings like eagles' and soar

When you call on Jesus,Mountains are gonna fall

'Cause He'll move heaven and earth to come rescue you when you--

Bridge:

Call Him in the morning', in the afternoon time

Late in the evening' He'll be there

When your heart is broken,

And you feel discouraged,

You can just remember that He said

He'll be there

Chorus (2x):

When I call on Jesus,All things are possible

I can mount on wings like eagles' and soar

When I call on Jesus,

Mountains are gonna fall

'Cause He'll move heaven and earth to come rescue me

(back to top first time, 2nd time finish with "when I call")

La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la-a-a

"Music Monday" ~"The Motions"~

A friend has a "Music Monday" on her blog, every week, where she shares a song! I have really been wanting to do this on my blog too, and thought it would be neat to link to her's! So I was very happy that she added a Mr.Linky this week! Fun!
Hope you go over to Shawntele's blog and join in the fun!


Here is one of my favorite songs of here late! I Love it!
Matthew West, "The Motions"!

"This might hurt, it's not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break,
At least I'll be feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more daywithout
Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,instead of going through the motions?"

No regrets, not this time
I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

'Cause I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,instead of going through the motions?"

take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way ('cause I don't wanna go through the motions)
take me all the way (I know I'm finally feeling something real)
take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more daywithout
Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,instead of going through the motions?"

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more daywithout
Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,instead of going through the motions?"

take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way (I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go)
take me all the way (through the motions)
take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions."

Wednesdays Walk ("So We Don't Forget") School Days-Begininng!

Lynnette has made some changes to Wednesday's Walk Down Memory lane! Go check it out on her blog here and join the fun!

This weeks theme is "School Days, In the beginning"!

It is hard to believe that it has been a year since we started a daily homschool schedule!
Princess S. started her pre-K, using ABC, number and phonics wipe-off books! She loved them! I also had a lot of paper crafts, coloring and we had a vocabulary word, memory verse, and learned colors and shapes! Since she learned her shapes, numbers, ABC's and colors so well in pre-K, we have had more time to work on her other Kindergarten studies!
Princess A. was still crawling, as you can see from the picture! She played on her blanket with an asortment of toys! fun!

We have probably started our children doing homeschool a little sooner then some, but with homeschooling we believe it starts when they are babies! Everyday is a day to learn something new! And with homeschooling, you can be so flexable and learn and improve all the time! Also you are around your children everyday and you know what they are ready for or not ready for yet! Plus each child is different.
We have already learned a lot with homeschooling in the short time that we have been doing it and I really look forward to all we get to learn together in the future! It is sooo much fun!
We started back just last week! Depending on how much she gets done, we may continue on later into the year, next year, instead of stopping the first of May!

I hope more and more people choose to teach and homeschool their own children! It is such a great experience and blessing!
May God bless everyones homeschools!

Our Homeschool for this Autumn

We started back to school last Tuesday (the 11th). I was hoping to start On Mon. but was too busy canning! =)
We have decided to use Alpha Omega's Lifepacs for our curriculum. This spring we decided to stop for summer, but she was right in the middle of Kindergarten! So I hope to work it out better this school year! If she finishes kindergarten this fall, we will hopefully start 1st grade and stick to it till she is finished!
I am still pretty new to this teaching thing, so still have a lot to learn! We have two children (so far), one in Kindergarten (Princess S.) and the other a toddler (Princess A.).
I try to stay pretty flexable, but I do keep a small schedule and I love my teachers books that come with the Lifepacs!
Here is what I am going by for this fall while Princess S. is finishing up her kindergarten:

Princess S.=
Devotional readings,
Language Arts,
Math,
Wordly Wise,
writing practice (Letter and number)

Princess A.=
Animal matching cards,
ABC flashcards,
First Words flashcards

Both=
Educational games,
hands-on activities (paper crafts, clay, painting, etc.).

I am really hoping that we will get to take a trip to the Zoo and Aquarium this fall or next spring! That would be great!
