Show Me Your Glory Movie Review & Giveaway
I have a new movie to share with you today, Show Me Your Glory! This just released in theaters today, May 13 so you can buy your tickets now.
Movie Synopsis: How do you explain ... the unexplainable? When does the impossible ... become possible? Why are some prayers for healing answered and others ... never are? Through true stories of the supernatural crashing into human
suffering, a compelling new documentary arrives in theaters this spring—unlocking
the possibility that the impossible still happens in our world. Meet experts who have studied miracles and suffering, discover true stories of the seemingly unbelievable, and be reminded that prayers can be answered in ways that we could never expect or imagine. If you or someone you love has ever pondered life’s deepest question—
“If there is a loving God, why is there so much suffering and evil in the world?”
David and I were able to watch a pre-screening of this powerful film. We saw hope, encouragement and awe as we watched many true stories of God intervening in people's lives. God uses real and everyday ordinary people from all walks of life. I love that He meets us where we are - whether that's a forest, a jail cell, a hospital room, a church...you get the idea. This film does a great job showing some of the ways that God works in miraculous ways and even some ways that He still works when miracles are not seen. We definitely recommend watching this thought-provoking and inspiring film!
Check out the trailer below!
Time for a giveaway! Want to win a $10 Amazon giftcard? Just comment on this blog post letting me know if you have ever had a supernatural experience, that's it! (This is limited to US winners only. Giveaway ends on May 18th at midnight.)
Disclosure: Many thanks to Abba Heart Ministries for providing a pre-screening for Show Me Your Glory. Opinions are 100% my own.

Graphic Design 101 Review
I want to share with you an online graphic design course from Timberdoodle for middle school and high school students, Graphic Design 101. This course is published by Film School 4 Teens and is geared for students ages 12 and up or 6th-12th grade. This course has 12 Modules and will earn you a semester credit or 1/2 credit on your transcript. While the bulk of the course is online there is also a consumable workbook. You will have access to the pdf of the entire workbook with your online course so you can easily print from there. We printed all the necessary pages and put them in a class binder.
It is recommended to complete one module a week for 12 weeks. If this pace is too much you could also break each module into 3 parts - lesson, assignment, and workshop and complete one part every week. If you choose this route it will take you longer to complete. And likewise, you could speed it up - ultimately you decide. I love that you can pick your pace and what suits your needs.

C's Senior Pics
I can't believe C is about to graduate! He has been accepted at multiple colleges but is in the final stages of deciding where he wants to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering, stay tuned. He recently took his senior pictures and I love how they turned out. Enjoy!
Timberdoodle's 52 Essential Social Skills Review
I want to share with you a set of cards from Timberdoodle on social skills, 52 Essential Social Skills. These cards are geared for kids 5-9 years old or K-3rd grade and are manufactured by Mind Brain Parenting. It is suggested to use one or two cards a week to complete the deck within a typical school year; however, you can choose the best pace for your situation.
- Your friend told your teacher that you took her cookie from her lunchbox. You didn't take the cookie but saw someone else do it. How would you respond? How do you get them to believe you?
- You bring a fancy pencil to class, and it falls on the floor. Another student picks it up and says it's their pencil. What would you do? What would you say?
- You're playing soccer, but some students aren't playing fair. The teacher on duty stops the game and says no one can play soccer for the rest of the week. What would you do? Why do you need to respect this decision even when you did nothing wrong?
- Your class is split into two teams to play a trivia game. Your team loses. Your friend from the winning team comes over to talk to you after the game. What would you say to your friend? Can you feel good and bad emotions at the same time?
