Yesterday was our first day of homeschool. Because we will be traveling to Korea at the beginning of September, we are starting early. We are on a 1/2 day schedule (3 subjects) and then will go full time once we settle in Korea. I am excited about this year. For one, I will only be homeschooling 2 children rather than 3. I hope it will be easier. I am sure it will be since Jeremiah and Sebene are good at working independently. I am also really excited about our curriculum choices too. This is our curriculum for this year:
Jeremiah (9th grade)
History: My Father's World Ancient History
Literature: My Father's World Ancient History
Bible
Geometry: Chalkdust Geometry
Biology: Apologia Biology through Veritas Press. (M/W 10:00-11:30 pm..sorry)
Foreign Language: Korean
P.E.: Tennis
Vocabulary: Vocabulary from Classical Roots
Logic: Fallacy Detective and Thinking Toolbox
Sebene (6th grade)
We will be using Exploring Cultures and Countries for geography, social studies, bible and science.
Composition: The Potter's School online Writer's Workshop
Math: Christian Light Education and Lial's Pre-Algebra
Grammar: Christian Light Education
Foreign Language: Korean
Vocabulary: Vocabulary from Classical Roots
Logic: Logic Liftoff
I can't wait to see how my children will grow this year!

Healing
Sebene returned from Wellspring's "Kingdom Upside Down" camp last week. I knew it was going to be an amazing experience for her. I was excited to see how God had touched my daughter. When I picked her up, she was not very talkative. When I asked what the best part was, she said, "food." It was kind of a letdown for me because she didn't share all the awesome things God had done in her life.
The next day was Saturday, which is our day of family worship. When I called Richard, he was very sick. He couldn't get out of bed. He said he had a fever, chills, and body ache. We ended up having worship without him. At the end of our worship, we prayed for Richard. Each of us went around the room and prayed that God would heal him. Sebene casually prayed, "God please heal daddy." Everyone had a chance to pray. We were waiting to see if there was going to be more prayer, when all of a sudden Sebene, with much boldness and conviction, prays "We command the sickness to leave. Amen!"
We were all a little surprised by her boldness. She is usually very even tempered and doesn't like to stand out in any way, especially when praying. She shared that she had learned that we have the authority to command the sickness to leave. She had faith. She believed it.
I called Richard a few hours later, and he sounded much better. He said, "The fever is completely gone! He was amazed. We were amazed. (Father, forgive us of our unbelief.) I told him about Sebene's prayer and he was amazed again. Sebene indeed was touched by God's spirit.

"And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction."
