(does that rhyme? ha!!)</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">And here is what has been on my heart the last few weeks....</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: red; text-align: center;"><i>He Giveth More Grace by Annie Johnson Flint</i></div><div style="color: red; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: red; text-align: center;"><i>He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,</i></div><div style="color: red; text-align: center;"> <i>He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;</i></div><div style="color: red; text-align: center;"><i>To added affliction He addeth His mercies,</i></div><div style="color: red; text-align: center;"><i>To multiplied trials His multiplied peace.</i></div><div style="color: red; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: red; text-align: center;"><i>When we have exhausted our store of endurance,</i></div><div style="color: red; text-align: center;"><i>When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,</i></div><div style="color: red; text-align: center;"><i>When we reach the end of our hoarded resources</i></div><div style="color: red; text-align: center;"><i>Our Father's full giving is only begun.</i></div><div style="color: red; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: red; text-align: center;"><i>His love has no limit.

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">And there it is...so simple, yet so profound to me. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">I don't have to have it all together.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">I just have to trust the one who does have it all together!!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Lately, my life has needed more strength and endurance just because of some things going on.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">I hope to share those things with all of you very soon,</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">But for now, just know that He does giveth all the grace we need for each day!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Amen!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I wish we could. The Chinese gov't won't approve us because of our income. We have too many people in our family...and not enough money...according to them. But look at her. Her name is "Lisa". Sarah Joy has talked about adopting "Lisa" for years now. She has always said her baby sister was named "Lisa". Where did she get that? And then, twice now, her picture has been right there in front of me through different websites advocating for children with HIV. So...I have to do something...but right now, this is all I know to do. Let me introduce you to "Lisa" and if you can help her find a family...oh, I sure would love that!</i><br />

Several months ago, I saw a post on <a href="http://www.babeofmyheart.com/">another blog</a> about an adoptive mom's retreat in February. I sent my friend, <a href="http://bealladoptionjourney.blogspot.com/">Robyn</a>, a Facebook message and told her we should go. Without hesitation...she was in! We have dreamed about doing something like this since I moved away...and I am still in shock that it is really going to happen...and I couldn't be more excited! I think God's timing is perfect (it ALWAYS is) for both of us to have some time to just hang out and talk with each other and new friends...get this.... ALL about ADOPTION!! YIPPY!!! Mike thinks I am not going to have a voice after the weekend...oh well! It will be so worth it!<br />
<br />
I just took a look at the breakout sessions...and they all look amazing!! So check it out....<a href="http://createdforcare.org/">Created for Care Retreat!</a> I can't wait to see what God has planned for me! And don't you just love the t-shirt designed just for the retreat?? If you would like to purchase one..just go <a href="http://createdforcare.org/tee-shirt-fundraiser">here</a>.<br />

Leigh Ann Harrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04553865315359109420noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389577631342384780.post-11082891790142929142011-01-01T10:30:00.001-05:002011-01-01T10:37:07.590-05:00I Don't Want to Waste It!It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating 2010...where, oh where, did this past year go?? James 4:14 says that we are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Our lives are short! We don't know what tomorrow holds...but thankfully I do<i><b> know</b></i> the one that holds tomorrow!<br />
<br />
2010 was a great year for the Harris family...our oldest member turned 40 and our oldest son turned 13. We <i>saw</i> God's provision for our family in ways we never expected. We were able to <i>witness</i> the miracle God performed with our <a href="http://www.bealladoptionjourney.blogspot.com/">friend's son</a> as they brought him home from China and got him the care he needed. We <i>saw</i> the beauty of sunsets at the beach with our parents and friends. We <i>saw</i> God continue to bless <a href="http://www.harvestgranger.org/">our church</a> and grow us through that ministry. We had <i>sweet fellowship</i> with God as we walked down an unknown road to learn more about orphans in the US. We <i>saw</i> God open doors for us to visit homes all over the South and <i>see</i> Him at work. We committed to walk in obedience to whatever God calls us to do in 2011...whatever!<br />
<br />
But as we start a fresh new year....I am reminded how quickly this one will pass if we are not intentional about each day we are given. If you continue to read on in James, you will see that he says we are to commit each day to the Lord's will. Not ours. God's will. And I love the last verse "Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins." (James 4:17)<br />
<br />
So my question for myself and for you is...what is it that you know you ought to do...but you are not doing it....that you need to get rid of in your life...or start doing?? <br />
<br />
You don't want to waste your life!<br />
<br />
Whatever 2011 holds for my life and for our family...I pray that will bring God glory...that it will stretch us and push us closer to our Father...that we will fall more in love with each other and with Him.<br />
<br />
So 2011....bring it! <br />
<br />
....just came across this video and loved it! John Piper nails it! Happy New Year, my friends!<br />

Grade 7/8OK...this just makes my brain hurt...but here it goes. I wanted (for my own records) to make a list of what I hope Graham accomplishes between the third week of August and January.<br />
<br />
When I first started homeschooling 4 years ago...I only used <a href="http://www.sonlight.com/">Sonlight</a>! I still LOVE Sonlight and all that it has to offer...and would certainly recommend it to anyone! However, over these years, I have been adding to Sonlight and really developing my own curriculum based on the strengths/weaknesses of my children....as well as their interests! We gotta keep it interesting around here, right!<br />
<br />
So here it goes (you have been warned!!)<br />
<br />
<b>Bible</b>: Bible Study Sampler from Sonlight<br />
Live Like a Jesus Freak: Spend Today as if it were your last<br />
<br />
<b>History</b>: <a href="http://www.peacehillpress.com/">Story of the World</a> Volume 3 along with the tests<br />
<br />
<b>Reading</b>: (not in any order) getting all of these from our local library!<br />
1. Maniac Magee<br />
2. Year of the Impossible Goodbyes<br />
3. Peter the Great<br />
4. Amos Fortune, Free Man<br />
5. Stowaway<br />
6. Betsy and the Emperor<br />
7. Streams to the River, River to the Sea<br />
8. Only the Names Remain: The Cherokees and the Trail of Tears<br />
9. I am David<br />
10. Nory Ryan's Song<br />
<br />
We will be doing "unit study/novel study" type activities with each book to reinforce comprehension and vocabulary. I have been spending many nights on the computer looking for ideas to download. If you have any ideas, PLEASE let me know!<br />
<br />
<b>Science</b>: Physical Science <a href="http://www.abeka.com/">Abeka</a> 9 (bought this used...really cheap...hope it is good!)<br />
<br />
<b>English</b>: Finish <a href="http://www.rodandstaff.com/">Rod and Staff</a> English 6 book, worksheets, and tests<br />
<br />
<b>Math</b>: Saxon Algebra 1 with Dive CD<br />
<br />
<b>Additional Language Arts</b>: Analogies 1 and Wordly Wise 3000 Book 8 (both purchased from Sonlight)<br />
<br />
<b>Competitive Robotics Team</b>: Computer class via Stanford University- cs106A (no college credit, though)<br />
Weekly meetings to discuss class and assemble robot for competitions.<br />
<br />
<b>Piano and Guitar Lessons </b><br />
<br />
I sure hope I am not leaving any holes or gaps in his studies. If any of you see or know how I might add anything we are lacking, PLEASE leave me a comment! <br />
<br />
Hope your head is not hurting too bad after reading all of this!

Like....<br />
<br />
clean laundry....especially when that laundry has been folded and put away!<br />
<br />
the smell of cookies in the oven<br />
<br />
flowers blooming in the summer<br />
<br />
my shirt from <a href="http://147millionorphans.com/">147 million orphans</a> <br />
<br />
Michigan cherries<br />
<br />
clean toilets<br />
<br />
anything from Chick-fil-@<br />
<br />
and adoption videos....<br />
<br />
This one happens to be one of my favorites. I hope you love it as much as I do!<br />
