Praying for Your Children

{Download} Praying for Your Children

By

I’ve gone through seasons of being incredibly intentional about praying for my children — notice I said seasons. I admit, I’ve not been faithful in prayer, as I wish would have when I look back on the fifteen years of parenting that have already passed. There was this one year that I prayed for each child on a different day of the week. And another year in which I participated in a Moms in Prayer group — and oh my, we saw the Lord move on behalf of our children in amazing ways! But for the most part, my prayers…

In Every Season There is Love

By

As the rooms in my home empty one by one, I am soberly reminded of the brevity of life. When my children were born countless people told me to enjoy every moment with them because time would race by. At each milestone in their lives thus far, I have thought of those precious people and their priceless advice.

How About Exchanging Your Expectations?

By

Have you ever stopped to consider your expectations, especially considering your future relationships? Do you believe that “one day” you’ll be able to have a better marriage than your parents?  Are you hoping that if you find the perfect guy, you’ll experience that love and joy and happiness you’ve always hoped for? Well, you’re not alone. I felt that way when was I teen and 20s0mething, but I’ve since learned that my expectations weren’t the least bit helpful.
