“If I honor God I will find success, ensure freedom, and culture friendship, by practicing good stewardship, disciplining our minds, encouraging creativity, and welcoming recreation.” This is our family motto.
God started our family in 2004. He gave us our first child in 2011, and another baby about every 2.5 years. He is a GOOD, GOOD Father, isn’t He? Our family culture includes hiking, music, good food, lots of laughter, and appreciate a great joke! We love adventures, and we live life with passion! We love any excuse for a party, too. We love celebrating!
Back when I was pregnant with my first child, God started talking to me about how to raise children in this generation. They need to know warfare… spiritual warfare. I stand firmly on Ephesians 6 that says we fight against rulers, authorities, powers, and spiritual forces in the heavenly realms… and that God has equipped us with full armor, and urges us to “pray in the Spirit on all occasions,” and to “be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people”.
I want to be in the trenches with other parents and children, learning about God together. We are in the times of revival starting again in America. We need to place ourselves on our faces before the Lord and say “pick me”, like Isaiah did. And we need to teach our children how to hear God’s voice.
The family unit is where God starts revival, within each person’s heart. And the parents have authority and responsibility for the children. God’s ways are higher than ours, and there is a deep chasm between us and the heavenly realms, and God wants us to empty ourselves before Him, so He can fill us. He has said to me for many years now He has set a plumb line and is looking North, South, East and West for those that would desire purity and holiness before Him.
God has a unique mission and vision for each family unit, and children and siblings have a specific role within the family unit. America, and perhaps the world, is so ill that we have not seen the proper function of families for many generations. God would like to work with us to see this restored. He will fill the generations with His love and help if we would lay down our rights and privileges (false yokes) and pick up His yokes instead.
God wants to teach us how to train our children to be overcomers. We know we are all fully responsible for our child(ren)’s well-being. Physical. Emotional. Their thought Life. Spiritual life. You’re forming patterns in them. Your passing along a spiritual inheritance whether you intend to or not. Let’s allow God to unlock the door and show us how to create the patterns and imprints of the Lord on His children – This is still His heart-cry.
Love in the Son,
