Psalm 46:1 :
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble...
Be still, and know that I am God
Psalm 62:1 & 2
Truly my soul silently waits for God:
From Him comes my salvation.
He only is my rock and my salvation:
He is my defense;
I shall not be greatly moved.
Psalm 30: 5
Weeping may last for the night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning.
(Which to me says that though things may be tough right now, IT IS going to get better!)
But a shout of joy comes in the morning.
(Which to me says that though things may be tough right now, IT IS going to get better!)
The Inspirational Study Bible NKJV by Max Lucado
Thanks to Christie for providing me with a list of Psalms to read this week to help us through the week of waiting. The Psalms we read this week are perfect for a tough week! Quite unlike me, I can't find my piece of paper that I wrote down all our bible assignments for the week!
So, I am just putting down what we read in our bible and Believers Bible Commentary now--I'll have to look inside my Archeological Bible to see what we read in there later--we read sections from the Psalms section. That book is good for interesting tid-bits of history!
But, for now, here is what we read from:
Psalms: 27, 42, 43, 46, 62, 71, 124, 125 (plus the "Life Lessons" in the ML Bible)
It takes a lot of time, but I've REALLY learned so much from reading the bible verse first, then reading what the bible commentary has to say for each verse. This has really made such a huge improvement on my understanding more than I would get on my own. Huge recommend!
Beside being a week of waiting; we also had a week of doctor's appointments- three days worth! Monday we went to the dentist, this time for me. Wednesday we went to the dermatologist for me (skin cancer is one of family burdens, and I had to have another Basal Cell Carcinoma removed from my upper chest. Which emotionally was hard for me to process. My dad died at 56 years old from Malignant Melanoma, the deadliest kind of skin cancer.) Friday we took Dd to the dermatologist, which was a different office than we went to on Wednesday---which for a "Directionally Challenged" person like me, means adventure! He had told me the address doesn't show up in Garmin's, so I had to print off directions from Google, then when we were struggling with that, we asked the Garmin to take us to the CVS in that town, Dh also verbally gave me some hints, and also with prayer we finally made it! Wow, was that hard to find! But, we did it and got in early! His other office you usually have to wait an hour after your scheduled time to actually see him. But, I am glad to have a dermatologist look us over and remove cancer before it gets too big. After going to Fleur de Lis Girls Camp from 9-24 years old--outside 24/7, I need the help!
Just for the record, I wear long sleeve sun shirts (the kind with the special fabric) 90% of the time I am outside, and a wide brimmed hat and have since 1998. I guess the damage was already done to my skin. I also wear sunblock diligently...
Due to all our doctor days, we didn't have time to do an artist of the week, or a composer of the week. We really stuck to the flat basics.

Mary Slessor, Forward to Calabar
Chapters 1-6
Speaking of Mary Slessor--we looked on youtube.com, typing in "movie on Mary Slessor" and found a movie called: "One More River-The Story of Mary Slessor" it was in two segments, a Part 1 and Part 2. This tied in nicely with our study. Warning: It does tell how in Nigeria area they killed twins, and had such tragic punishments... but, with this movie you could actually see where she lived and the people she reached. So far the book hadn't really given us a good image of the time and places she lived. It was also really surpising to see and hear how much Nigeria still ADORES her. One interview had a person saying they "worshiped her". I'm not sure what they meant by that, but it is obvious what an impact she had on that community. They said they still name many girls "Mary Slessor" b/c they love "Ma" so!

The Misadventures of Maude March
Such a riveting audio! We are really enjoying this! I can't say enough how much we are enjoying it. Read the reviews on Amazon, and you will find I am like everyone else in finding this book amazing. We have been listening to it on audio, and the voice actress is also beyond any expectation of fabulous! Rip-Roaring Fun!
Amazon review:
Eleven-year-old Sallie March is a whip-smart tomboy and voracious reader of Western adventure novels. When she and her sister Maude escape their self-serving guardians for the wilds of the frontier, they begin an adventure the likes of which Sallie has only read about. This time however, the "wanted woman" isn't a dime-novel villian, it's Sallie's very own sister! What follows is not the lies the papers printed, but the honest-to-goodness truth of how two sisters went from being orphans to being outlaws—and lived to tell the tale!
