Both of my boys started out learning about God through stories we read them from a Beginner’s Bible. A friend of mine gave me one when my first son was born, and I passed it along to my second son. Even though they have graduated on to reading an adult Bible, the Beginner’s Bible was a wonderful foundation.
When you think of courageous women who do you think of? If you are like me, you probably think of women like Rosa Parks who stood up for civil rights or Amelia Earhart who was the first women to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
I love when I receive a box in the mail with books inside for me to review. I was especially excited to unpack Lies Moms Believe and how the Gospel Refutes them by Rebekah Hargraves. I couldn't wait to see what scriptures she used to bring light to the dark lies I have believed during my own motherhood journey. I don't know a momma alive who hasn't dealt with some form of guilt when it comes to raising her babies. I also don't know a momma alive who hasn't battled with at least one, if not most, of the lies Rebekah covers in this page turner.
EXCITMENT! That's what I felt when given the opportunity to receive, read and review The Shadow by Kimberly Rae. The cover of the book reads, "She fights human trafficking. Who would want to frame her for international crime?"
I'm raising two boys. One is eleven and one is seven. The eleven year old is obsessed with medieval times and Scotland. He talks excitedly about owning his own kilt, suit coat, and bag pipes. He can't wait until he grows a full beard. His free spirit loves to draw and create stories. As he transitions into the teen years, changes are coming. Some are already evident. More experienced moms say, "Brace yourself. The season ahead is hard."
My youngest son turned seven on April 1st. I am trying to savor every moment of innocence he has left, and I find myself squeezing him a little harder each day as I watch him grow and change. Recently, he told me he has his first loose tooth, and I wanted to cry. I want him to grow up, obviously, but the realization I won't have a "baby" much longer has me emotional. Sniff. Sniff.
Hey, friends. I am so excited and have to tell you about my latest devotional! I am absolutely loving "Designed to Pray." Prayer can be about so much more than the spoken word. Prayer can happen through art, music and other forms of creative expression.
Love is absolutely one of my favorite topics in this life. I want to make sure I show the love of Jesus to everyone I meet. When I was invited to read and review Jennifer Rothschild's new book, "66 Ways God Loves Me," I was very excited. I won't even lie.
