Ephesians 2:8-10

As I continue prepping for the new school year, I wanted to have a few new memory review games in my bag of tricks. I’ll be introducing the new memory work each week during community day, so I’m hoping this Twister review game will be a hit! I was going for vestibular sensory input with...
Over the last several years, our book collection has taken on a life of its own and become more than just a collection. So before we officially started the new school year, I wanted to organize them in a way that made everything easier to find. I searched Pinterest and found a great resource that...
That moment when you see your new family portraits and they take your breath away because they glimpse into everything God has done in your life. The days aren’t always easy, and are downright hard sometimes. But He “has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” Psalm 126:3. His goodness is...
