Let's work to fill our children to the brim with words of love, value, strength, and true identity from the very beginning so that when words that are contrary come, they will find no available space in them. Frederick Douglass said, "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men."

Do Faith Acts!
An action is a qualifying factor for faith. It's what faith is and what faith does. It begins by hearing faith words, then continues by speaking faith words, but then must have actions of faith. In Mark 5, the woman with the issue of blood heard something about Jesus. She must have heard that He [...]
Correction Is a Rescue!
Correction is always meant to be a rescue to us, if we'll let it. When a small child begins to step out into a street full of busy traffic, a parent must grab hold of them and pull them back to safety. When you are driving down the highway and you veer off momentarily, you [...]
Our Children Are Blessed Through Our Obedience
Living under the blessing described in Deut. 28 is not just limited to financial/material wealth. It means every arena of your life will be blessed. When we are faithful to diligently obey God’s commands, that means we keep His statutes: His commandments, serving, gathering together, tithing, etc...AND we obey the things He directs us to [...]
Don’t Be Moved By What You Feel
Feelings are fickle. They can be up one minute and down the next. You might be feeling utterly exhausted or super energetic, lonely or hemmed in, exuberantly happy or down in the dumps. Feelings are a normal part of living in this earth suit. But we don't have to be ruled by them. Feelings are [...]
Rest in His Promises
Everything that we have need of in this life, the Word says that God has already supplied. He has made provision for our needs of healing, peace, finances, relationships, wisdom, favor, direction, sustenance, and shelter. We have His promises in black and white, so stop waiting on God to do something for you that He [...]
God Gives You the Power to Create
God is a creative being, full of creative power and ability. He created the universe and all that it holds with the words of His mouth and the power of His Spirit. When He made man, the Word tells us that we were made in His image and according to His likeness. Just like you [...]
Homeschooling is Teaching How to Learn, Not What
The homeschooling of my children has been the most rewarding journey of my calling as a teacher. It has allowed us to enjoy so much more family time, which I will never regret one bit. We have truly all learned and grown up together. For they have taught me some of the most valuable things [...]
Praise is the Expression of Faith!
If we are truly in faith, then we will leave the place of prayer with praise on our lips because we know we have our answer. Not because we see it with our natural eyes, but because we believe that when we prayed and released our faith that God heard us and we are confident [...]
Are You Sowing Seeds For a Harvest?
The Word of God is an incorruptible seed. If we sow the Word, it has to produce, it will always produce, it has no other choice. Its function is to produce because it is full of power. If you've sown seed, whether financially, materially, relationally or of your time, that seed went into the soil [...]
