When my son was almost eight, we posed a challenge to him of reading through the entire Bible one chapter at a time. He cruised through the first several books of the Old Testament quickly (even Leviticus!) in his Adventure Bible. Now at 9 1/2, he reads the NLT version each morning on his iPad. This is the same kid they told me might need to be tested for a learning disability at 5. Words cannot express how amazing it is to hear the text of God's Word rolling right off of my son's lips. To say I am blessed is an understatement! So, did he ever truly have a learning disability that he somehow overcame? I don't think so. In this instance, I believe environment and method of learning were total game changers. I used to make fun of ... Read More...
7 Christ-Centered Easter Activities For Kids

The Gospels' account of the Resurrection never gets old. Joy renewed after what seemed like an agonizing, crushing defeat. It has the power to instantly break through my worst day, and remind me of the hope I have for both this life and the life beyond the grave. It is absolutely my favorite part of the entire Bible, a story of victory and redemption almost too good to be true. But honestly, sometimes I fail to accurately translate this message to my children during the Easter season. There are store displays of cute stuffed bunnies, colorful ... Read More...

We've all heard the famous Proverbs 22:6 verse, "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." But how, exactly, are we to train a child? Between laundry, cleaning, throwing dinners together, and keeping the kids from destroying the house and each other, training our children spiritually seems like an impossible task. It is our responsibility, however, to point them to the Truth in God’s Word and live it before them daily. I promise you- it's not as overwhelming as you think! These 7 keys to ... Read More...
5 Simple Christ-Centered Christmas Activities For Kids
*Disclosure: This post contains Amazon affiliate links. That means if you choose to make a purchase, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission that helps support this ministry. I love this time of year. There are so many opportunities to make memories with my kids that will last into their adulthood. Decorating, crafting, baking, and shopping together. Listening to whimsical songs about winter wonderlands and evening sleigh rides. Watching Christmas specials while eating too many sugary treats. But there's also a downside. With so much to do, let's face it: Jesus often gets lost in the mix. And how many of those Christmas shows or commercials on tv actually portray the real meaning of the season? There are ...

Indescribable Book Review & Giveaway
Disclaimer: I was provided Indescribable: 100 Devotions About God & Science for reviewing and hosting a giveaway. All opinions, however, are my own and have not been influenced by the author/publisher in any way. One of my children's favorite subjects in our homeschool is science. There are so many fascinating topics to dive into. During the first part of this year we are learning all about biology, studying different types of creatures from the animal kingdom first before moving onto the plant kingdom. My son especially loved learning about the sea cucumber, which can spit out its own organs at a predator to protect itself and then, amazingly, those organs eventually grow back. Gotta love boys! No matter what we happen to be ... Read More...
