<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-304" title="waiting-for-you pequena" src="http://vimad.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/waiting-for-you-pequena.jpg" alt="waiting-for-you pequena" width="292" height="233" />Fueron tantas, que ya ni puedo contar las veces que me quedaba esperando por la oportunidad de hacer mi crédito.  Solicitaba crédito y me lo negaban por falta de experiencia, no me fiaban porque no tenía crédito y no tenia crédito porque no me fiaban jeje increíble ¡ehh!, pero por qué continuaba solicitando crédito.  ¿Qué me mantenía intentándolo a pesar de que no me aprobaban nada?</p>
<p>El poder de la expectativa era lo que me detenía a no rendirme.  La expectativa es la certeza de que vas a recibir algo; te da las fuerzas para esperar, te hace sentir que puedes vencer los obstáculos en el camino y te deja saber que vas a recibir lo que esperas.</p>
<p>Te pregunto: ¿Qué esperas de Dios?  ¿Son tus expectativas espirituales o terrenales? Procura esperar las promesas que Dios tiene reservadas para ti.  El poder de la expectativa hará de tu vida una exitosa y abundante.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Consejo: &#8220;Enfócate en lo espiritual y tendrás éxito en tu vida terrenal&#8221;.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'>
<p>Today we went to China! We found China on our globe and heard the anthem. We also reviewed the other countries we know (Australia, France and New Zealand).</p>
<p>We got another stamp on our passport &#8211; and put our ping story disk on China on our map to help us remember where it is. We are making a flag, and have coloured in the chinese flag as well.</p>
<p>Google is a wonderful tool &#8211; we found china on google earth and looked at some photos of china, the yangtze River and the Great wall!</p>
<p>Miss E LOVES finding all these new places! She says &#8220;I want to go there one day&#8221; (and mummy says so do I!)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>OK &#8211; we didn&#8217;t wait till after easter to start. I couldn&#8217;t wait.</p>
<p>Yesterday we started rowing Madeline.</p>
<p>Miss E loved the book &#8211; which certainly helped! We read it through twice &#8211; then started on geography.</p>
<p>I showed Miss E the passports we are making, and she helped me finish it. Then I showed her our new globe and explained what it was. We started by playing and finding Australia, the US (where our friend Alyssa is) and New Zealand (where Miss Paula is!). We also learnt to recognise the Australian and New Zealand flag.</p>
<p>Then our lesson proper began. We found France on the globe, and put a stamp in our passports. We learnt about the capital of France, Paris (where Madeline lives) and heard the national anthem. We had a look at how far it is from Australia.</p>
<p>We found pictures of the French flag and went outside and made one for ourselves.</p>
<p>Later on we got Miss E&#8217;s dolls out to make &#8220;12 little girls in two straight lines&#8221; as an introduction to the math concepts we are going to work on later this week. She REALLY liked that! I think this is going to be FUN!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p> </p>
<p>Our other new arrival this week is this amazing globe! It&#8217;s the Smart Globe by Oregon Scientific. Not only is it a globe &#8211; but when you point to a place with the pen it will tell you all sorts of interesting facts about that place. You can hear the national anthem, learn about the currency, size, capital, population, leader, time and weather. You can compare two places or measure the distance between two places. AND you can link it to the internet to download current information!</p>
<p>It even has 3 different levels depending on the age of the child, and games and quizzes.</p>
<p>As we progress through our FIAR books we are going to travel this globe and learn all about our amazing world. We are printing passports this afternoon ( thanks to Angela at Satori Smiles for the link!) (<a href="http://satorismiles.com/2009/04/03/pretend-passports-a-great-homeschool-tool/">http://satorismiles.com/2009/04/03/pretend-passports-a-great-homeschool-tool/</a>)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then we&#8217;ll be ready to begin our BIG ADVENTURE! <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-105" title="globe" src="http://alittlebitsmarter.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/globe.jpg" alt="globe" width="290" height="290" /></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'>
<p>Fluffy mail? Not quite. I  miss fluffy mail but now that Miss E is almost 4 new books and learning things are just as much fun!</p>
<p>Today I got several parcels in the mail . It was like Christmas!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am MOST excited about THIS!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been waiting and waiting and waiting for this book to arrive! Five in a row uses books to guide the lessons we do during the week. We will read the same book every day for a week (maybe a bit over a week here since I work two days) and each day we extend the concepts from the book to learn about art, science, social studies, maths &#8230; all sorts of things!</p>
<p>Eliana and I have worked through Before 5 in a row &#8211; but she is ready for some more in depth discoveries.</p>
<p>The only problem is &#8230; which book to row first? We start after easter to give mummy some time to prepare (and especially as we are going away for a few days)</p>
<p>FUN!</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><span style="font-family:Georgia;">Grabado el miércoles 4 de marzo de 2009.</span></em></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-align:justify;"><em><span style="font-family:Georgia;">Trasladado a la red el martes 17 de marzo de 2009.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia;">Comentario de <strong>Mervy Enrique González Fuenmayor<strong></strong></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia;">Ciudad y Municipio Maracaibo del Estado Zulia, República de Venezuela, América del Sur.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;text-indent:35.4pt;"><span style="font-family:Georgia;">MUCHOS DE NOSOTROS PENSAMOS que el poder de Dios no pasa de ser algo limitado y por ello en la mayor parte de nuestras situaciones difíciles preferimos concentrar nuestra fe y nuestra esperanza en otras cosas, objetos y personas que ciertamente no podrán darnos la solución a nuestros problemas. En el vídeo reflexivo que presento se refiere el episodio bíblico en el que Jesús llega Jerusalén con ocasión de la fiesta de Pascua. Allí se encontraban variedad de personas, entre ellas un grupo de fariseos y paganos. Al verlo, éstos comenzaron a murmurar respecto de la persona de Jesús; algunos lo tomaban como un verdadero profeta y otros, simplemente, como el hijo del carpintero. Jesús sabía y sabe, conocía y conoce el interior de cada hombre, conoce sus pensamientos aun antes de que el hombre los piense. Definitivamente debemos creer que Jesús es el hijo de Dios, el camino, la verdad y la vida. Él es el verbo encarnado, sin él no hay posibilidad de obtener ni el perdón ni la vida eterna. Hay algunas personas que creen que no hay que privarse de disfrutar todo, sin límite alguno, sin moral alguna, sin principio ético que oriente nuestra conducta, al fin y al cabo si lo que dicen las escrituras es cierto, bastará con que nos arrepintamos, cuando ya estemos cansados de gozar y disfrutar, para que nuestro buen Dios nos perdone y de esa manera obtener no solamente la redención sino también la vida eterna. Esta equivocada forma de pensar, por no utilizar otro calificativo, nos conducirá al mismísimo infierno, pues queremos manipular y defraudar la voluntad del Altísimo. Como que si Dios no supiese de nuestras actitudes y pensamientos aun no pensados, como que si Él no conociera los secretos de nuestro corazón, de nuestra mente y de nuestro espíritu, como si fuese posible engañar a nuestro Creador con torcer nuestro camino sin que se dé cuenta. Amigo y amiga que me lees, si tú estás en esta situación, viviendo en la lujuria, en los placeres mundanos, en la prostitución, en el robo, en la estafa, en las perversiones, y en general en todas aquellas conductas y actitudes sancionadas por los designios de Dios, te ruego por favor que te arrepientas de todo corazón, con un propósito de enmienda sincero, para que recibas la misericordia de Dios y por consiguiente todo su amor, su perdón y el acceso a las mansiones celestiales del reino de Dios. Amén y amén&#8230;</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="color:#cc9966;">          Linha clara, para começar o dia. Delicado traço cor da luz, que ela ia passando entre os fios estendidos, enquanto lá fora a claridade da manhã desenhava o horizonte.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="color:#cc9966;">          Depois lãs mais vivas, quentes lãs iam tecendo hora a hora, em longo tapete que nunca acabava.Se era forte demais o sol, e no jardim pendiam as pétalas, a moça colocava na lançadeira grossos fios cinzentos do algodão mais felpudo.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="color:#cc9966;">          Em breve, na penumbra trazida pelas nuvens, escolhia um fio de prata, que em pontos longos rebordava sobre o tecido. Leve, a chuva vinha cumprimentá-la à janela.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="color:#cc9966;">          Mas se durante muitos dias o vento e o frio brigavam com as folhas e espantavam os pássaros, bastava a moça tecer com seus belos fios dourados, para que o sol voltasse a acalmar a natureza.<!--more-->          Assim, jogando a lançadeira de um lado para outro e batendo os grandes pentes do tear para frente e para trás, a moça passava os seus dias. Nada lhe faltava.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="color:#cc9966;">          Na hora da fome tecia um lindo peixe, com cuidado de escamas. E eis que o peixe estava na mesa, pronto para ser comido. Se sede vinha, suave era a lã cor de leite que entremeava o tapete. E à noite, depois de lançar seu fio de escuridão, dormia tranqüila.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="color:#cc9966;">          Tecer era tudo o que fazia.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="color:#cc9966;">          Tecer era tudo o que queria fazer.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="color:#cc9966;">          Mas tecendo e tecendo, ela própria trouxe o tempo em que se sentiu sozinha, e pela primeira vez pensou em como seria bom ter um marido ao lado. Não esperou o dia seguinte. Com capricho de quem tenta uma coisa nunca conhecida, começou a entremear no tapete as lãs e as cores que lhe dariam companhia. E aos poucos seu desejo foi aparecendo, chapéu emplumado, rosto barbado, corpo aprumado, sapato engraxado.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="color:#cc9966;">          Estava justamente acabando de entremear o último fio da ponta dos sapatos, quando bateram à porta. Nem precisou abrir. O moço meteu a mão na maçaneta, tirou o chapéu de pluma, e foi entrando em sua vida. Aquela noite, deitada no ombro dele, a moça pensou nos lindos filhos que teceria para aumentar ainda mais a sua felicidade. E feliz foi, durante algum tempo.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="color:#cc9966;">          Mas se o homem tinha pensado em filhos, logo os esqueceu. Porque tinha descoberto o poder do tear, em nada mais pensou, a não ser nas coisas todas que ele poderia lhe dar. &#8211; Uma casa melhor é necessária &#8211; disse para a mulher. E parecia justo, agora que eram dois. Exigiu que escolhesse as mais belas lãs cor de tijolo, fios verdes para os batentes, e pressa para a casa acontecer.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="color:#cc9966;">          Mas pronta a casa, já não lhe pareceu suficiente. &#8211; Para que ter casa, se podemos ter palácio? &#8211; perguntou. Sem querer resposta imediatamente ordenou que fosse de pedra com arremates em prata. Dias e dias, semanas e meses trabalhou a moça tecendo tetos e portas, e pátios e escadas, e salas e poços. A neve caía lá fora, e ela não tinha tempo para chamar o sol. A noite chegava, e ela não tinha tempo para arrematar o dia. Tecia e entristecia, enquanto sem parar batiam os pentes acompanhando o ritmo da lançadeira.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="color:#cc9966;">          Afinal o palácio ficou pronto. E entre tantos cômodos, o marido escolheu para ela e seu tear o mais alto quarto da mais alta torre. &#8211; É para que ninguém saiba do tapete &#8211; ele disse. E antes de trancar a porta à chave, advertiu: &#8211; Faltam as estrebarias. E não se esqueça dos cavalos! Sem descanso tecia a mulher os caprichos do marido, enchendo o palácio de luxos, os cofres de moedas, as salas de criados.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="color:#cc9966;">          Tecer era tudo o que fazia.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="color:#cc9966;">          Tecer era tudo o que queria fazer.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="color:#cc9966;">          E tecendo, ela própria trouxe o tempo em que sua tristeza lhe pareceu maior que o palácio com todos os seus tesouros. E pela primeira vez pensou em como seria bom estar sozinha de novo. Só esperou anoitecer. Levantou-se enquanto o marido dormia sonhando com novas exigências. E descalça, para não fazer barulho, subiu a longa escada da torre, sentou-se ao tear.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="color:#cc9966;">          Desta vez não precisou escolher linha nenhuma. Segurou a lançadeira ao contrário, e jogando-a veloz de um lado para o outro, começou a desfazer seu tecido. Desteceu os cavalos, as carruagens, as estrebarias, os jardins.<br />
         <br />
          Depois desteceu os criados e o palácio e todas as maravilhas que continha. E novamente se viu na sua casa pequena e sorriu para o jardim além da janela.  A noite acabava quando o marido estranhando a cama dura, acordou, e, espantado, olhou em volta. Não teve tempo de se levantar. Ela já desfazia o desenho escuro dos sapatos, e ele viu seus pés desaparecendo, sumindo as pernas. Rápido, o nada subiu-lhe pelo corpo, tomou o peito aprumado, o emplumado chapéu.</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="color:#cc9966;">          Então, como se ouvisse a chegada do sol, a moça escolheu uma linha clara. E foi passando-a devagar entre os fios, delicado traço de luz, que a manhã repetiu na linha do horizonte.</span></strong></span></p>

<p>Honestly, I didn&#8217;t intend to do much for Inauguration Day. I planned <em>maybe</em>, and that&#8217;s a big maybe, watching it on TV with the kids. But then FIAR came out with an <a href="http://www.fiardigital.com/" target="_blank">Inauguration Day Fold and Learn</a>. Perfect!</p>
<p>It has a short biography of Barack Obama, the inaugural schedule from January 18th through Inauguration Day, some fun facts about the history of inauguration, and Barack Obama&#8217;s favorite dessert!</p>
<p>We are going to have a fun time re-reading <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0807535443?ie=UTF8&#38;tag=sanschrblo-20&#38;linkCode=as2&#38;camp=1789&#38;creative=390957&#38;creativeASIN=0807535443">If I Ran For President</a>, which I purchased during the election. At the same time I also bought the other book by Catherine Stier,  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0807535427?ie=UTF8&#38;tag=sanschrblo-20&#38;linkCode=as2&#38;camp=1789&#38;creative=390957&#38;creativeASIN=0807535427">If I Were President</a>.
