More Than Words: The African Study Bible

More Than Words: The African Study Bible

by Jennifer Frisbie | May 18, 2016 | African Study Bible, Body of Christ, Kenya

From the time I was a young girl I’ve always had a love for written words. Song lyrics and poems, famous lines from movies, short stories or novel length epics…even those special words of encouragement someone would write at the bottom of a greeting card addressed...
The Change Has to Start with Me…

The Change Has to Start with Me…

Today was “paperwork day” as I like to call it. The day of the week where three of my children are at school and the littlest is at part-time daycare so I can soak in the quietness of an empty office. My anxious fingers click the keys as I push my way...

Last year, about this very time, I realized how incredibly difficult it was going to be to keep my kiddos engaged in school when Christmas was so near. They were wired. I don’t know if it was a combination of cooler temps, a continuous supply of hot chocolate or the over abundance of twinkle lights, but every one of those things seemed to work to my disadvantage. It was intense and quite the uphill journey getting through December. It wasn’t long before Thanksgiving of this year that I realized we were quickly approaching that same hill. I’d heard of mothers taking a complete break during the month of December but that never felt right for our family. The two oldest, while still participating in a few homeschool subjects, are primarily enrolled in university model three days a week, mid-August to early May. Schooling through the summer, aside from some reading, math pages and sporadic language arts lesson, isn’t what I’ve ever had in mind. Summer breaks are needed in this family. However, finding a curriculum that could allow for lots of leisure, lots of fun, and still be learning through the first three weeks of December seemed just what we were looking for. Yesterday we began “A Gather ‘Round Christmas” and are loving it! Each day begins with a recitation from Luke 1 and then a lesson, fun project, act of kindness, and lots of read alouds. Fridays end with a movie, a spelling test (we tailored it to allow for this), and time to write their thoughts about what they learned. They’re also still doing math, a little science, and a few of their non-core subjects. Today is day two of our changed plans and I’m so grateful to be trying something new. With the inconsistency of 2020, I felt like this change was a welcome one. #gatherround #christmasschool

It’s beyond chilly today. The sky is a soft pink, but the light is hesitant this morning. Maybe that’s why we love twinkle lights so. They remind us that the smallest light makes all the difference in the world when everything else seems dark. There’s a lesson there somewhere... #thissideofgrace #seasonofadvent
