Well all, I've jumped on the blog wagon. This isn't the first time and it probably won't be the last. But, lately God has been putting on my heart that I need work when it comes to my parenting abilities.
I need to be a direct link to my children growing up to love the Lord. And I'm not so sure that I have been that role model that they need. Yes, I know that my girls know who God is, they know what He did and why...but is that really enough? Is it enough to put on a Veggie Tales video about obeying, or is there something more that I need to be doing? Yes, I am faithful to go to church every Sunday, yes, I am faithful to give, yes, I am obedient to help others before I think of myself, but what are we teaching our girls when I don't always obey what the Lord is instructing me to? When we are living in debt, when we cuss, when we don't take time to pray as a family, when we don't open His word everyday. How can I expect my children to obey and grow up loving Him when I don't show by example?
So, with this blog I hope to learn daily from my 3 girls. I am hoping that I can successfully open His word on a daily basis and learn on how to learn from them, but most importantly how I can raise 3 beautiful Godly children.
Thank you all for joining me on this journey! It will be one for the record books I am sure.
Because of Him,
Michelle
Yay! I'm so excited to share in this journey with you, online and in the 'real world'!!
