Prayer

 God will not lead you astray.
.This season that we are in is part of our kids' testimonies.
Asa = missionary, gospel to the nations
Pearl = strong, carry her mother's story; spend 10 minutes with her a time, develop that relationship. God knew what he was doing when he gave me a daughter with all the boys around. 
Zachary = adventurous, strong immune system
Josiah = black & white = right & wrong, strong moral character, servant-hearted, may he know when to rest and say no.
Luke = intelligence, that he would also know his calling at a young age, by age 13 and not waiver
Julie = new life inside her, healthy cells, good health, Daughter of king, needs/desires
David = sleep, lead with strength, that he would meet God in his dreams

season of trusting God for bread
God is using this season to sharpen us and our children, We want the best for our kids, but God is caring for them and writing their stories...
"For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills." Psalm 50:10

  • The primary message is that God is not lacking anything from humanity, and true worship involves a sacrifice of a thankful heart and obedience, rather than just offerings. 

  • God show us the right property for us. 
  • One day we will look around at all the friends we have, women and men and understand why
    we went through this season
