Week 13 "A"
(our 42 week)
June 15-19th, 2015
This week we signed our new loan, and put down money on our new house. Dh took one day off this week to get the many errands done that needed to be done. We both now have Michigan licenses, and titles for our cars! After a year of living here we are finally getting some of the basic things switched over. I spent hours packing up our apartment library--and took three loads of it to our storage place. When we met with our realtor to sign the loan he said that *perhaps* the previous owner would be out of the house before the date that he had given us. First, he said that we could move in on June 19th, then due to the loan not getting made he said June 27th, now he told our realtor he *might* be out by Sunday June 21st? So far we haven't heard from anyone that he is done, but we are hoping he will be done soon. But, I've packed up a lot of our stuff, and we are antsy to start working on our new home.
Our house in Indiana had two showings on Saturday! We have had over thirty showings at our house, and eventually someone will want to buy it! Please continue to pray for our house to sell! There will be a few days this month that we will be paying on three houses/apartments at the same time! Three places were we could sleep; as Dh likes to say! He thinks that is funny! I'm looking forward to only having one place! and it being really quiet and peaceful!
Our lessons this week went well. We finished Hostage Lands by Douglas Bond, and our Story of the World, Vol. 1, and Activity Pages and Tests that went with it. This is a good place to stop and focus on our move for a few weeks. Dd has been getting more and more into her FUN books, and wanting to focus on that for a while---which is great, and she can do that for the next few weeks as I focus on packing and unpacking. She helps me, but she can't work for hours on end like I can. She does good for being thirteen.

Psalm of the Week:
Psalm 103
Psalm 103
Of David.
1
Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2
Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
3
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6
The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed.
7
He made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel:
8
The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
9
He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10
he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
11
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
12
as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13
As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14
for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
15
The life of mortals is like grass,
they flourish like a flower of the field;
16
the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.
17
But from everlasting to everlasting
the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children—
18
with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.
19
The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.
20
Praise the Lord, you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his bidding,
who obey his word.
21
Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,
you his servants who do his will.
22
Praise the Lord, all his works
everywhere in his dominion.
Praise the Lord, my soul.

Product Description (rainbow resources' book description):
This exciting book by Douglas Bond has two stories in one. The background story is of an apathetic Latin student in modern England. He has no desire to learn Latin until he discovers an ancient Roman manuscript buried on his family farm. The main story is the one that this student translates from Latin into English, an adventurous story from the third century. It tells of a centurion who serves Rome at Hadrian’s Wall and is saved from being massacred by a Celt named Calum. Calum was deeply changed when he saw Christians martyred in the Roman Colosseum and tries to overcome the usurpation, treachery, and betrayal of his day. A gripping, fast-paced historical novel that not only tells about ancient Rome, but shares about God’s divine intervention and mercy. 236 pgs, pb.

This week Dd taught me how to PERL in knitting! She did a really good job showing me how to do it, and was a very patient teacher. I am working on a new scarf. I got along very far, and had three errors, so I undid most of it and started over again. She has been knitting along with me this week.
