The Tedd Tripp book was suggested in a comment in our ABC Jesus Loves Me Group. I wasn't surprised because it has been shared several times by our group members. Actually the premise of the book Shepherding a Child's Heart is the reason why the 4 Year ABCJLM Preschool Curriculum focuses on character education. Digging deep to ...

Need a Prayer Guide?
credit I found this page in a folder of Women's Ministry tools that I have collected over the years. I thought I would share it as a basis guide to help you during your quiet time. The guide is based upon the A.C.T.S. prayer model: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. This is similar to the D.R.A.W. Deeper ...
Parenting 101 – Tip #1
credit Parenting is rough. Period! I have yet to find someone who disagrees with this statement. Even those with "angel" children find themselves on their knees begging God for wisdom and strength.

How Will It End?
It is hard to believe that it has come to an end. A set of videos that have explained the Bible and caused us to fall in love with puppets named Buck Denver, Pastor Paul, and Sunday School Lady.

Impressing Jesus on Them: It All Begins with Me Part 1
credit Last week I shared a children minister's wisdom that I can't raise "godly" children if I am not growing myself. To raise children who have a personal relationship with their Savior, we must "practice faith together as a family." With so much truth, she shared, "It's easy to want something for our kids that we don't have ...
Impressing Jesus on Them: Where to Start?
credit After reading two articles, I realized that my goal of parenting was seriously missing the mark. Instead of raising good, moral children I should strive to raise children who you are broken. {Yes, you read that correctly.} Read yesterday's post "Why I Want My Children to be Broken" to understand why. My goal of ...
