Core G
Week 12
“A”
(40th
week on Core G)
June
1-5, 2015
This was a fun week! It started out bad, but ended on a good
note. This was my ‘migraine week’, and
we were both not feeling very motivated for part of the week. But, luckily the pool in our apartment
complex FINALLY opened and we got to go swimming! Yay! We
also made it out to two parks this week.
On Thursday we went to HUFF PARK;
it is the ‘wetlands park’ that we have gone to quite a few times. Then on Friday we went to KIRK PARK; which is the great one on
Lake Michigan. Dd got in the water, but
it was in the 50’s and way too cold for me!
I know “50’s” sounds warm, but it must have been colder at the beach
than at our apartment! Brrrr.
Our updates – We signed
forms to remove our second realtor from our process, and signed new forms for
our third realtor to come on board. So,
the family that had signed a “First Rights of Refusal” with us are no longer in
an agreement with us anymore. When we
canceled our contract with our previous realtor, that canceled the
agreement. That family has also not been
able to sell their house, and so, can’t buy our house! We are praying for SOMEBODY to buy our
house! We will be moving into our new
home sometime at the end of this month!
Our loan has been approved; not for the same rate we had on our house in
Indiana (unfortunately) but, it will have to do.

Like Moses, who lead
the Israelite's away from
slavery, Ezra
brought the Hebrews out of captivity. They had been captive in Babylon for 70 years. King Cyrus told them to go back to their
homeland. He gave them back much of the treasures that had been taken from the temple that King Solomon had built. Ezra' story is very similar to Moses. Ezra was a real scholar of the law, and
teaching was part of who he was.

Adara by Beatrice Gormley
Rainbow Resource warns
readers there is some ‘rough language’ in this book. I only remember one time that I thought I was
glad I was reading this aloud, and could skip those few words that didn’t fit
in with the rest of the book. Besides
that, I thought this was a really interesting take on the bible story about
Naaman and the prophet Elisha. Adara
gets taken captive and sold to a slave trader.
Then General Naaman’s wife takes Adara as her husbands reward for a
successful battle at Ramoth-Gilead. At
first Adara hopes that her successful father will come rescue her, but that
never happens as she hoped it would. When
a friend of her father comes see if it is Adara with General Naaman’s family,
and only offers ½ price for her return; Adara realizes she isn’t valued within
her own family and acts like she isn’t her fathers’ child after all (to stay a
slave). Then the Lord uses her to share
the good news, and many stories about the prophet Elisha that she had heard
growing up. Eventually, General Naaman
gets white spots on his skin and his hair is falling out and he gets desperate
enough to listen to his slave girl, Adara, as she tells of the miraculous ways
of Elisha—the the follower of Yahweh.
Sometimes I am ‘so-so’ about fictional bible stories being played out—but,
personally, I found this book well done.
This is a
fictionalized telling of the story of Naaman and Elisha, found in Kings II,
