The house we are hoping to build

Nicole and I hope to help build a house for a family in Mexico this August. I found the floor plan for this simple home. We are going to be working with Baja Christian ministries and Global Expeditions. The folks at Baja Christian Ministries build houses nearly every weekend. This is good news. I have two hands, but I don't really know how to build anything! I'm going and I'm ready to help. We could use your help. We want to pay the $5000 it takes to buy the building materials for a house. This is not something we must do. That is, they will accept our help even if we don't pay for the materials. I just want to teach my daughter how to trust God for big things. How to step out and try to be used by God. I'm trying to help build her character. I'm trying to help her see that she can personally change the world in a positive way. When we hand the keys to the family that receives our house, I want Nicole to know she really went the 2ND mile to change this families life.

That is so great that you're taking such a leap of faith! I'm sure the lessons you and your daughter learn from this will greatly bless you!

I am a Global Expeditions representative, and will most likely be going on the Baja trip as well; perhaps we'll see each other!

If I can help you with anything, feel free to contact us at geinfo@teenmania.org, or you can email me personally at stephanie.king@teenmania.org.

I have a team of about twenty peers here, and we would be happy to lift you and your family up in prayer!

I can't wait to see how your faith and hard work will expand His Kingdom. Keep the faith alive!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to help these young women learn to read. http://www.ReadingKingdom.com what

Taking at look at Hotels select

I have the chance to review Hotels select.   https://www.hotelsetc.com/ This is a really interesting travel club.   You pay a fee of about 200 dollars a year to use their very extensive site.   I got this membership free.   It has many deals of mostly hotels, but also rental cars, flights, restaurants and events around the world.   I have been spending days looking at what they offer.   So far what I’ve found is amazing deals on the places many people go.   For example, hotels in Orlando are 50% less than deals you find at booking.com.   Rental cars are often 25% cheaper than Rental cars.com.   And they have a search where you can book a condo for as little as 250 dollars a week just 1 mile from Disney world.   That is 7 nights for 250 dollars for up to 4 people.   The exact location on Airbnb cost 650 dollars a week. If you travel to places like San Diego, New York City and Las Vegas this site will save you a great deal of money.   If you rent cars you will also find it wo
