having your kids in a Private, Christian school - it's easy to relax a bit in the teaching at home.
you know that they are getting solid teaching at school.
you know that they are learning how to handle things the correct way with the awesome instruction by teachers.
i some ways, i feel like i have taken a back seat to really TEACHING my kids at home how to react the way JESUS would react to certain things.
unfortunately, i feel like i haven't been as ON TASK of praying thru problems and for people.... WITH them.
with the change to public school this year, i have an overwhelming sense of wanting to be SURE that i am on my GAME. that i am instilling in them the truths of the gospel as well as the need for prayer, for church, for Jesus in their lives. Displayed ALL THE TIME -- to people who may not know Him.
i'm starting a new journey that i've never experienced before. of course, our home has always been a place where Jesus's name is spoken -- and where we try and live lives that are pleasing to Christ.
However......
i feel like it's time to really get my armour on. to teach my kids how to get their armour on daily. to be ready. to be on alert. to be a reflection of Jesus to their new friends. what an exciting place to be .
i love how life and parenthood are constantly causing you to be a BETTER YOU!
