I want to encourage you to pray that your kids get caught.

“What?”

“Why would I want to do that??”

We had 5 kids in 7 years. Even today, as a grandmother of 21, I can still feel the exhaustion of those early years. Raising young kids is hard for many reasons, but one is that you train and train without seeing results for many years. It’s discouraging.

“Why doesn’t this child get it? I’ve told him over and over! Will he ever learn?”

Our kids keep us on our knees. One of the things John and I prayed for each of our kids was that if they were doing anything wrong they’d get caught....

Are you feeling stuck in your life with all the uncertainty and need God to show you something different?

I’ve felt stuck many times in my life. And then I found Jeremiah 33:3 and I began to pray differently.

Call to me and I will answer you and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. Jeremiah 33:3

I’m excited to share with you on the blog today on what I admire most about my husband John!

Over the years this habit has given me security. In the hard times, the good times, the uncertain times I know one thing is certain: my husband is praying for us. He is trusting the Lord and finding comfort and wisdom in Him. This brings me abundant security and peace.

A number of years ago he was encouraged to write a simple book for men describing his prayer plan and how he does it. It’s easy for men to feel overwhelmed by the idea of a regular prayer plan. Even the wisest man sometimes feels out of his depth in knowing how to love and provide for his family.

Recently we published an updated version of this simple book. It’s meant to be a guide for a husband, father, or grandfather. It’s brief, honest and practical.

It’s written for men who want to love their families well. It’s called How a Man Prays for His Family and the link to buy the book is in the blog and in my bio!

It was such a joy to speak at @stlukecolumbus on Finding Peace in Times of Uncertainty! You can watch the recording at the link in my bio!
It was especially special that a handful of assisted living groups were able to watch via live cast!
Thank you St. Luke Church for having me!

Envy and Jealousy.

Every one of us is tempted by these two destructive attitudes. Parents and children alike.

This desire goes all the way back to the garden of Eden. Adam and Eve had everything but wanted more.

Our greed lies at the center of our sin nature.

It pokes its head up in the most irritating ways, spewing nasty thoughts into our heads and cultivating a negative spirit within us.

So how can we overcome these negative traits?

Check out six ways to root out envy and jealousy - link in bio!

Equips

“Now may the God of peace brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in you that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be the glory forever and ever amen." Hebrews 13: 20-21

Too often I think you might be calling me to do something but I panic because I don't think I can do it. I forget that you will equip me for what you have called me to do, from raising a difficult child, to completing a challenging project.
