I’ve had the most fun the last few days gatherin I’ve had the most fun the last few days gathering our supplies to begin An Expectant Easter on March 15th. Nothing earth shattering to share, just getting excited to share the Easter story with my kids in a new and engaging way. 

Yesterday and today I spent a few minutes getting all of my little pieces made or curated from our home for the Bible story egg hunt portion of the study. These little items will go into eggs that the kids will hunt for 12 of the 15 days and will begin the conversation about what the days’ lesson will be centered on.

Two boys. Two stories. Both heroes in their own ri Two boys. Two stories. Both heroes in their own rights. Both of my older kids each read one of these out loud today. I think it helps for them to read and experience the words and stories from their own perspective instead of just hearing me read everything to them. 

Henry “Box” Brown mailed himself to freedom. Ron McNair stood up for what he knew was right and changes followed. Both stories induced tears for me. The human heart is capable of such evil, but it is also capable of such love. 

Have you read these stories yet? We have a few more library books to read, but Black history isn’t just for February. It’s a constant education. Learning about all types of people groups who don’t look just like us. Trying to sympathize with their stories and learn from them. 

I think what has most stood out to me this month is the rawness of these stories. The absolute trials and triumphs of our black brothers and sisters who have led the way. May God continue to soften hearts and minds. May we all seek to love each other as kingdom people.

Audrey’s story was my favorite of our reads toda Audrey’s story was my favorite of our reads today. Not that the others weren’t fantastic as well, but this story just hit somewhere different. The youngest known marcher during the children’s marches of 1963, Audrey volunteered to join the march knowing that she would end up in jail for at least a week. What must she have been thinking? Feeling? 

Have you ever felt so strongly about something that must be done that you stepped out in faith believing it would accomplish it’s goal? Stepping out in faith is hard, but Audrey knew as children they had less to lose than their parents. She stood in the gap. So thankful for young people who see a need and step up and out.

Pioneers. Innovators. Courageous. Gutsy. Glamorous Pioneers. Innovators. Courageous. Gutsy. Glamorous. Leaders. Geniuses. Weavers of words. Creatives. In possession of immeasurable talents.

These are just a small fraction of words I could use to describe the 50 some women detailed in this gorgeous book. Women who despite the opposition, oppression, hurdles, and hardships, persevered to make their mark on our world and our hearts. 

I am inspired and moved reading their stories and trying to understand the world from where they stand/stood. 

I’m reading Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” right now and it’s amazing, and hard, and hilarious, and gut wrenchingly sad. I want to learn though. I want to grow. I want God to give me an even deeper understanding for the human condition, the pain and suffering of those He died for. All of them. I want to learn to love just as He did and to be gracious and generous with my time, my talents, and my all. Getting outside of myself and sitting with the stories of others.

Who have you been inspired by lately? Whose life story has moved you and made an impact on your own life?
🤍 Tell someone you love them today. There is en 🤍 Tell someone you love them today. There is enough to go around. 🤍

These stories were so sweet and so moving in their own ways. Mrs. Bear making preparations for a special day with Mr. Bear, three friends finding a mystery letter which makes them feel so loved that they are inspired, and a man that feels unloved until he gets a piece of mail. 

Sometimes it doesn’t take much. Taking treats to your neighbors, writing a hand lettered card and putting it in the mail, praying with a friend on the phone... one small act of kindness and love trickles down. 

LOVE NEVER FAILS.

🎶 Music Study: We are currently using Peter & T 🎶 Music Study: We are currently using Peter & The Wolf to learn how to listen for different instruments and to differentiate between them. It doesn’t take a lot to learn...a few simple resources, a music playing device, and a bit of fun and wonder mixed in! I’m excited to incorporate some resources from @fiddlesticks.education (flash cards) and @crafterina (puppet theater) into this coming week’s lesson. 

🎻How do you incorporate music studies in your home school?

“We went to sleep slaves and woke up free,” Ma “We went to sleep slaves and woke up free,” Mama told me and my little brother, Paul, the day freedom came. She looked at me and said, “Lizzie, bein’ free means we got to work harder than ever before. And I don’t just mean in the field. Real freedom means ‘rithmetic and writing.”
