Sonlight Core G
Week 2 “B”
Sept. 22-16, 2014
We've finished our 5th Week at Core G
Some weeks are harder for me than
others; and this was a very hard week indeed!
I guess with all the exercising and hiking from the week before; I have
brought my immune system down. We were
able to do a fairly normal week on our lessons, but I was sick (and got worse
each day) throughout. I have been
praying for my health to return soon, and I decided it is time to find a doctor
here! ETA: Ended up having to go to the ER to get an IV with meds to slow down the migraine, and stop the vomiting/retching...ugh.
Another disappointment this week was
that the auto that I drive, that we drove to Indiana, has something wrong with
the steering mechanism. So, Dd and I
were totally home-bound this week---no library, no grocery shopping, and no
parks to take a walk in. Our auto is
scheduled to go into the shop on Tuesday, and I do hope they can fix it quickly
and hopefully not too expensive.
Paid rent yesterday for our
apartment; which I didn’t think I would still be here for October! There still have been no offers for our house
in Indiana. The Lord must have a very
specific plan for us…just wish I knew what it was! The good news is that I am feeling less
confined in the apartment. I am getting
use to living in such a super small apartment—finally!
Dh’s job has gotten a lot harder the
past two weeks. He is back to working
late every night; and as a matter of fact they are having him work both Sat.
and Sun. this week. He would have
refused to do that at his previous job, so it says something that he is willing
to do it here…and without a fuss. He is
doing a good job keeping his attitude positive even when they are asking him to
do the impossible. I have to admit that it would be easier to adjust to our new life here; IF his job was doing better. They are a new company and have too many gaps that need to be bridged. This growth is happening; but it is hard work!
We aren't moving forward with our Sonlight Core G until we read a bit more on Ancient Egypt---we do go at our own pace! and I still have some books that we haven't even started yet. I actually have too many books and will have to pick which ones I feel most lead to read.

Psalm of the week-Psalm 53
For the director of music. According to mahalath.[b] A maskil[c] of David.
1 The fool says in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;
there is no one who does good.
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;
there is no one who does good.
2 God looks down from heaven
on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.
3 Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.

4 Do all these evildoers know nothing?
They devour my people as though eating bread;
they never call on God.
5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
where there was nothing to dread.
God scattered the bones of those who attacked you;
you put them to shame, for God despised them.
they never call on God.

6 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores his people,
let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
