Last week my friend Jennifer had a fabulous history field trip and lesson planned for the kids! Her family has a large amount of land and on the back of their property is an old slave cabin from the 1800's. We took a lovely nature walk/hike out to the cabin and had our history lesson there!

Made to Crave ~ Chapters 15 & 16
"This isn't just a battle in the physical and mental realm. This battle is spiritual as well..." Made to Crave, p. 147 I keep reminding myself of this.
