Can You Help Us Reach 1,000 Children Before Rebels and Child Traffickers Do?

I am writing this post on behalf of Fullness In Christ Ministries. This is not a paid post, and, in fact, they do not even know that I'm writing it. 

God has given the leaders of this ministry (Ras and Bev Robinson, along with Kathy Bohlin), a vision to reach 1,000 of the children living in the garbage dumps of the Philippines. 

For $30 a month, you can help them get closer to their goal by sponsoring a child. Sponsoring a child allows him or her to go to school and learn valuable skills, as well as learning about the love of God. It will also give them food for their hungry bellies.

The following is an e-mail sent out by Fullness In Christ Ministries regarding the vision God has given them for these children. Please prayerfully consider being a partner in this ministry by sponsoring a child.

What does God want to do for the children He has given us? What is his promise concerning these little ones? 

"He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap (the garbage dump), to make them sit with the princes, with the princes of His people."  (Psalm 113:7-8)

Raising Children From the Dust to the Palace With some help now, the future could be very bright for this child. The Lord said, "I want you to care for 1000 very poor children that I am giving you. I have things I want them to do and they need to be prepared for those things."  Our response - "Yes Lord. We are willing and excited about that assignment." Our next thought was, "Where will we get the estimated $360,000 a year - $30 per month per child?" That is a lot of money" The past year has been a good one, but still that is a lot more money than we have, even if we put everything we have in it.    We have heard God say we can believe Him to provide for those 1000 extremely poor children and youth. Otherwise, why would He ask us to do it? Can you believe it with us? Last Sunday a lady who was sponsoring 4 children added 4 more for a total of 8. A man who sponsored 15 lost his job and had to quit for a couple of months, but he soon found another job and came back for his 15 and raised his monthly amount.  Would you be willing to join these and others and take on some of the children and teens God wants to give us and who desperately need us. Together, with each one taking some of them, and with God's help, we can change their lives for eternity. Further, we believe God will use these young people as He raises up a new generation that will be used by Him to transform the nation and affect many throughout the world. In one city, our high school students have been trained as crisis counselors for young children. How exciting to think of how God will use them in the future as well as now. We now have two high school valedictorians in college preparing to impact the world. Imagine this photo with 1000 children from the garbage dump. That is our assignment. You can believe that terrorists and rebels seek these young people and recruit them for their violent purposes. That is not God's plan for them. We can reach them first and teach them of God's love. We work now in 22 locations where pastors are reaching children before terrorist and child traffickers and others with evil purposes reach them. What is God's plan for these young people?  "He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap (the garbage dump), to make them sit with the princes, with the princes of His people."  (Ps 113:7-8) You can be part of God's plan for one or more of these children or teens. You can be part of God's plan for changing lives and ultimately a nation. Will you join us as we step out in faith to believe God for the funds required to help these kids?  Will you be part of that provision?  We need child sponsors - lots of them. We need those who give to help feed hungry children. We look forward to hearing from you soon. To make your donation to help the children rise from the dust of poverty and become part of God's Kingdom, go to: Sponsor A Child Food for Learning Gift Ministry to Children - Wherever most needed Thank you to all of you who currently sponsor children and who help us feed them, along with many other hungry children. We are so thankful for you!  Ras and Bev Robinson and Kathy Bohlin

About the Charlotte's Web Freebies, Printables, and Activities...

For those of you who are looking for the additional Charlotte's Web freebies/printables/activites I promised in my previous Charlotte's Web post, I promise that I will write those eventually.

For some reason, though, I feel like God is leading me in a different direction for now. I have been wanting to write some posts about phonics and make some printables for it, specifically printables to go along with Sonlight's Language Arts curriculum for kindergarten and possibly 1st grade. For whatever reason, this feels more pressing, while He is telling me to wait on the Charlotte's Web stuff.

I also feel led to write some more posts on faith and encouragement. Those will be coming soon...

I know I have made a lot of promises on here on posts I will write, and I have lots more ideas that I have never even mentioned on here. I have trouble keeping up with myself and where God is leading me, but I promise I will get to it all eventually. In His timing.

When I do finally write the Charlotte's Web posts, I will link them all together to make them easier to find. I will also link them all here for your convenience. There is a lot of free Charlotte's Web supplemental material out there. Like, a lot a lot. So when I do finally write them, they will be packed. A lot of time and research is going to go into those posts, and I promise the wait will be worth it! I could just throw up a post using just what I already have, which isn't bad, but I know there is so much more out there, and doing something just to do it and get it done is not my way...

For those of you waiting on Charlotte's Web or any of the many posts I have promised, thank you for your grace and understanding...

For those interested, here are the Charlotte's Web posts that I have written. (I will update this every time I finally write another one):

Fast & Easy Eggs (in the Microwave!)

These are the easiest, fastest, fluffiest eggs you will ever make. Clean-up is even easy, because you can eat them in the same bowl that you prepare them in. Bonus!

Recipe: 2 eggs + 2 Tablespoons of milk + salt/pepper to taste in a microwave-safe bowl. Mix well with a fork. Microwave for 2 minutes. Voila! Breakfast/lunch/snack/dinner is served!

Step 1: 2 Eggs + 2 Tablespoons Milk + Salt & Pepper

Step 1 {Variation}: 2 Eggs + 2 Tablespoons Milk + Salt/Pepper + Garlic Powder + Mozzarella Cheese (Can also add cut bell peppers, mushrooms, ham, etc.)

Step 2: Mix Well

Step 3: Microwave for 2 minutes. {If adding cheese/veggies/ham, etc., add an additional 30 seconds or so}

It takes 1 Tablespoon of milk and 1 minute of microwaving for every egg. You can add cut-up bell peppers, ham, mushrooms, shredded cheese, etc. for a yummy, quick omelette. Just add whatever ingredients you want and mix it all up before microwaving. I have found that I need to add a bit more microwave time when I add veggies or cheese or anything besides seasoning. I like to sprinkle a bit of garlic powder in, too.

Makes a quick, yummy breakfast or meal! When my kids were younger, I would often make them these eggs for dinner if I was making something that was too spicy for them to enjoy.

My hubby and I have had many a date night where I made the kids these eggs for dinner and then tucked them in for the night. After they were in bed, we would order Curbside-to-Go from 54th Street or Applebee's and have a nice late dinner and a movie at home.

If making these for the kids as a meal, I usually serve them with a side of fresh veggies with ranch. They like dipping the eggs in the ranch, also.

This also makes a great, quick, protein-filled breakfast without the mess of making a traditional omelette. And if you are really pressed for time, you can even take these eggs with you on-the-go, straight from the microwave! {Although keep in mind that the bowl will be extremely hot at first!}

{Note: In case there is any question about this, the eggs should be cracked into the bowl. This recipe is for scrambled/omelette eggs and not hard-boiled. Microwaving an egg in its shell will cause it to explode!}

*Edited 4/17/13: There are several coloring pages in this list that can be printed off at www.honkingdonkey.com. Apparently they did not like my preview images of their coloring pages. I have replaced the preview images with "{Image Removed. Click through link to see}." I apologize if I inadvertently broke any of this site's policies. It was never my intent to steal content--only trying to help others find Charlotte's Web related coloring pages throughout the web.*

One of our favorite books from Sonlight Core B is the classic Charlotte's Web by E.B. White.

This is part 1 of a series of free printables, supplements, and activities for this book. My kids LOVED having coloring sheets that coincided with the chapters we were reading, so I thought I would offer them up for you to print off as well. I tried to provide a lot of different ones to appeal to different kids/ages. Print them all or just a few. Enjoy!

Stay tuned for more Charlotte's Web freebies and supplements!

URGENT! Please Sign HSLDA's Petition to Help Protect Homeschool Rights!

Help! As hard to believe as it is, homeschool rights in this country are currently in jeopardy.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the case surrounding the Romeike family, you can read more about it here, here, and here. This case has the potential to affect the homeschool rights of every American, which is pretty scary.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE sign HSLDA's (Home School Legal Defense Association) petition today: http://www.hslda.org/legal/cases/romeike/petition.asp

45,000 more signatures are needed by April 18. 


I was informed earlier today that teens 13 and up can sign it as well, so if you homeschool teenagers, they can also take action!

Thank you so much in advance!!

*Edited 4/6/2013: Sorry, the date the signatures are needed by is April 18, not March 19 like I originally posted. Oops! Can you tell it was a late night?*

Free Printable Morning & Bedtime Routine Charts {That You Can Edit!}

Routines can be very helpful in making a household run more smoothly. I designed these charts to help make routines run more smoothly. These provide a visual way for kids to see what they need to do during each routine time without you having to tell or remind them of each step. There are lots of charts on the internet to help with routines that are very good. I created my own because no two households are alike. Some things that we incorporate into our routines are not necessarily in someone else's (and vice versa). For example, my daughter needs to brush her hair in the morning, but my son doesn't. Most charts did not have anything about vitamins on it, and this is part of our routine.

Vitamins not part of your routine? No problem! Because no two households are alike, these charts are fully editable. Want to change "Comb hair" into "Pick up toys?" No problem. Just switch out the comb for a clipart of toys and edit the wording. Viola! Personalized routine charts. I hope you find these useful in making your mornings and bedtimes go more smoothly!

Each chart is available in 5 colors: pink, blue, purple, green, and a generic gray. The colors are editable also.
To edit the charts, you will have to download them to your own computer, and then edit in Microsoft Word or comparable program.

If you have any trouble downloading, editing, or just have general comments, please let me know in the comments below. Otherwise, enjoy!

{Note: These charts are for personal use only. You may link to this post, but please do not link to the charts directly or upload them to your own site/blog. Thanks!}
