We Will Not Forget...

The Ten Booms

I am sad to announce that we have officially finished reading The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom. We will never forget the lessons we learned reading this amazing book.

I had the students pick some of their favorite quotes from the book. Please take your time as you scroll through each students choice ( some were out because of Speech Meet ). Read these treasure truths and allow God to speak to your heart! These are powerful, Holy Spirit lead words! Be blessed!

Next, I had the student's choose between a few different Book Report Projects! They had fun with this and did a great job! Below are some pictures of their projects!

               Chris Smith's project ^ A diorama of the prison - very impressive! We've got builders!

      Jack's Diorama of the scene where the Ten Booms are getting arrested because they are caught hiding Jew. I love the detail of the "watch shop" written on the pieces. 

              Pete's Diorama of the scene where Corrie was sharing Jesus with the German officer. Pete made this scene precisely how it was envisioned in the book- pretty powerful!

             Ben giving us a puppet show of the Jews practicing the emergency drill (for Jews to hide in secret room). It was very thought out and entertaining.  

 

Noah's diorama of the Prison the Ten Booms stayed at. He put a skeleton in the jail cell representing death.

              Ethan's Diorama of the concentration camp! Look at the faces on the erasers! So creative!

 

Lexie's Diorama of Corrie in prison speaking to her friends, the ants... and sitting next to her most precious possession, a Bible.

Mack Presenting her mobile of the events in The Hiding Place

 Megan presenting her diorama of the scene of Betsie holding a Bible Study in the concentration camp sleeping quarters.

 The students watching "LIVE" on the scene breaking news by Alex Cornwell. He was showing us Corrie's room and the secret hiding place.

I am forever changed by the truths found in The Hiding Place. 

We will not forget the Ten Booms 

After a Full Week of Testing...

The kids are relieved! Can you tell?

Onto Chapter 2 we go...

I wanted to brag on Alex Cornwell for making a 100 on his History test!

Many of the 5th and 6th graders made A's and high B's as well. I'm so proud of our hardworking students!

 

(We interviewed Alex as Matthew from the Gospel's this morning- He did a great job.)

I can't believe how fast these weeks have flown by! Can you? Before we know it, it's going to be Christmas!


Before I end this post, I wanted to give some encouragement.
My family has gone through some trying times this past year, however God has been so good to remind us of some truth from His awesome Word.

The most important truth we've learned is: God is good... Always!

Even in the midst of suffering and hardship.  

 

 

 

"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,  through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;  perseverance, character; and character, hope.  And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." Romans 5:1-4

 

 

"During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.  Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered ." Hebrews 5:7 -8

 

 

Our sufferings are preparing us for the eternity with Jesus, as well as teaching us the importance of obedience on earth. Praise be to God for His molding...His sanctification!

 

God is good... even in the midst of suffering and hardship.

Amen!

 

In His everlasting love,

Mrs. Houck
