This weekend we moved! I haven’t blogged about it but if you follow me on Facebook or Twitter you may have seen that I have been packing and counting down days! Last week was an exhausting week of packing and this coming week will be devoted to me turning our new home into a haven. Mailbag Question: How Do You Do it All?
Recently I have received a lot of emails with the same question ” How do you do it all?” For starters – I don’t do it all. I do my best to do all I can – and though my heart has good intentions there are weeks my home is a disaster, the kids are out of sorts, my husband and I have disagreements (that’s code for fights lol), I miss my workouts and I over sleep and miss a quiet time.
Raising Your Children to Change the World
The book One Million Arrows – Raising Your Children to Change the World has just been released.
Dennis Rainey says: “One Million Arrows…casts a God-sized vision for parents who long to see their children used by God in mighty ways.”
This book is also endorsed by Franklin Graham and Josh McDowell says “One Million Arrows is a great wake-up call for parents of this generation.”
I will review this book on a post March 1st – but I wanted to share this video created for the book. It’s a quick 1 minute promo and they have included a picture of my family in the video! (We are after the word “Vision”)
I love the final statement “Leave a mark for eternity.” I pray on my knees that God would use my children and their children and their children’s children to leave a mark for eternity!
What is Ministry?
I received this poem in an email yesterday right when I was sitting down to write my next blog post. The words rang with such truth that I thought – “this must be tomorrow’s post”. As you read this poem – apply this first to your ministry as a wife and mother and second to those inside and outside your church.WHAT IS MINISTRY?
Ministry is….
Giving when you feel like keeping…
Praying for others when you need prayed for…
Feeding others when your own soul is still hungry…
Living truth before people when you cannot see results…
Hurting for others when your own hurts cannot be spoken…
Keeping your word when it is not convenient…
Being faithful when your own flesh wants to run away.
As a young girl my mom had me memorize Luke 9:23: “Jesus said “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” As a follower of Christ, we must learn to deny ourselves and follow in the footsteps of our Savior – sacrificing all for him who is worthy. I pray today that you would be willing to minister to your loved ones even when life is not rosy and finding the strength is not easy.
Walk with the King!
