Life connections in HOD!

I wanted to share something I posted on my blog today with all of you ladies. I hope that you will be blessed, and if you're not doing it already, begin to look for those little 'coincidences'. I believe it will be an encouragement to all of you!
Quote from my blog:I began a different school curriculum with Hailey today. We've been using Beyond Little Hearts for His Glory by Heart of Dakota publishing, for spelling and reading this year. We used it last year, but only made it through the first 14 Units due to focusing very hard on her reading. So, we are now going to finish Units 15-34 before the end of the year. It's just a better fit for her than trying to do the same as Logan for History, Science, Art, and Literature. She will still have the option to listen in on any of his she chooses, but will not be graded on those. She really enjoys their spelling methods, and has done very well. I'm excited to get into the rest of the units with her! We started The Cricket in Times Square today (thanks Jeanine) and after just the first chapter we are eagerly anticipating what will happen next....
It's interesting that we are living in New York, and picking up where we left off last year, we are reading about New York. We learned about how the Dutch came to New York City (they called it New Amsterdam), and the book we chose (we had to choose 1 out of 4 selections, and I chose it before I realized the unit was teaching us about New York) is set in New York. God plans everything, and it is so obvious if you just look for His hand in your life. He knew we would make the decision to move here to New York; He knew I would switch Hailey to BLHFHG at just this time; and He knew that I would begin with this particular unit! I have a book about New York sitting on my shelf, that I have not used yet because I didn't know when to fit it in. Now, it will fit perfectly within these next units, and it will connect with what we are learning! I am so blessed by things like this, that seemingly have no connection, but are in His timing all the same. I can't wait to see what else He has in store for us! Does that mean He knows which house we will buy, and what state (or country) it will be in? I'm glad He does, because I really haven't a clue!

Thanks so much to all of you who helped me decide just how to finish this unit with my dd. God used all of you to help make this wonderful connection in our schooling at this time in our lives!
