Prioritizing Church
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it” Proverbs 22:6 Is it just me, or does it seem like things are getting crazier in life? Is it just me, or is the world trying to teach our children things that the Bible clearly speaks against? Is it just me, or is the urgency to teach this generation about Jesus not there? I want our kids to love others.…
School’s Out For Summer
Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a real blessing.” Psalm 127:3 School’s out for summer! Thank you, Jesus. Summer break can bring slower paced mornings. Summer can bring pajama days. Summer can also bring sibling fights. Summer can bring, “I’m bored. There’s nothing to do!” I want to encourage you to be intentional with your summer. Having some goals or objectives can help your summer be kinder and less scattered. I am not suggesting that you plan each day…
Pray for your children
This past week has been full of graduations, preschool and high school. Another reminder of how fast time keeps going by. Another reminder of how fast our children are growing up. Another reminder that it is never too early, or too late, to pray over our children. Philippians 4:6 is a good reminder to pray as well. It says, “Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Purpose – Pray…
Summer Discipleship
Do you know anyone who seems to know Jesus so well, that you wonder how that happened or if you might could ever know Him in that same manner? There are people in our lives that we look up to and hope to grow up to be spiritually mature like them. Well, I have some news, a true fact, “No one gets close to Jesus on accident.” If you want to come to know Jesus in a very real way,…
Summertime Is Just Around The Corner
Here we are in May already. Time for another school year to wind down and end. I clearly remember those last weeks of school when my kids were younger. It doesn’t matter if you have a preschooler, elementary student, middle schooler, or high schooler, this can be a crazy and busy time of year. There are class parties, STAAR testing, award ceremonies, band concerts, graduations, and there are still lunches to be made and clothes to be washed. There are…
Finish Strong
My friends, are you counting down the days that are left of school? Do you have a paper chain showing how many more crazy mornings are left until summer? Do you dream of mornings with no rushing around looking for forms that are due? Have the lunches you pack come down to chips and fruit snacks? Do you long for mornings where the pace is slower, and the words are kinder? You are almost there! Let me take a minute…
Praise For Moms
Mother’s Day is Sunday and what a blessing it is to remember and honor our mothers. Some of us are mothers, some of us still have our mothers, some of us have mother figures we look up to. We see you. You are making tiny disciples in your home and it can be overwhelming at times! Here is a tiny glimpse of what we see you doing and being as you parent your children. We love you. We give thanks…
Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day! Being a mom is one of the hardest jobs. Being a mom is also one of the most rewarding jobs. Proverbs 31:28-29 says, “Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also praises her: ‘Many women have done noble deeds, but you surpass them all!’” Wouldn’t it be nice if our little ones truly called us blessed instead of just calling our name 100 times a day? How good would it feel if our husbands…
