This Season's Verse

I have never really had a verse for a particular season of life. I had one that was helpful when Hubby was very sick & I just had to keep pushing through. But it never really felt like a verse given my God.
Well that has changed!
I have been struggling with thoughts that Hubby will never return to Jesus. Its hard after 8 years of feeling like nothing is changing & if anything, things seem to be going backwards. Then to top it off Monkey has started saying that he doesn't want to go to church with me.
This hit hard the Sunday before we made our emergency trip to Oklahoma. I decided I needed to set an example for Monkey & still go to church. Show him that its something that I value. And I'm glad I did!
It was a great service, full of prayer & opportunity to be prayed for. It was an opportunity to cry out to God & let him see my aching heart.
The next day I decided that just because Monkey didn't go to church didn't mean that I couldn't teach him at home so I started thinking of things I could do.
Pray with him more, read Bible stories every night again, and start teaching him scripture! I searched & searched for the prefect first scripture for him to memorize & I thought I had it one night.
Well the next morning it just didn't feel right so I started thinking & praying for God to reveal the verse he wanted me to teach and he gave me this verse...

For me and my family, we will serve the LORD.

Joshua 24:15

This is a verse that I'm not just teaching Monkey but also praying myself!
We are taught that God's Word is "living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword" (Hebrews 4:12) so what better way to conquer this evil that is attacking my son & that has its grip on my husband's heart than to declare that my family with serve the Lord!
I would love to hear your family verse or your verse for just this season. Please share!

The League of Incredible Vegetables: Movie Review

Picture borrowed from  Christian Film Database Another movie review! I was so thrilled when I was walking through Best Buy before Christmas and saw this  DVD sitting on the shelf. If you are a boy mom like myself you know that they love super heroes. I struggle to find age appropriated super hero movies for Monkey to watch. He loves Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, ect. and he has not seen any of the movies/shows that go along with them. Wait...he did watch The Avengers with Daddy one day while I was out. I haven't seen that one so I can't say what I think of it for a 3 year old. Anyway, I love Veggie Tale movies! I think that they do a good job of teaching lessons to kids in a way that they understand and I love the lessons they teach! This one is great because it is about fear and how if you trust God fear can't freeze you. If you have kids, especially boys this movie is great! It helps them get the superheros they want to watch without the bad guys th...

Y3W: I'm Not Perfect

I'm not perfect. I think you already know that as no one is perfect on this earth even though sometimes people can look like it on the outside. I do post many things about the good things going on in my life because I would rather talk about those then dread on the bad or negative things. However today I'm going to make sure you know that I'm not perfect by a long shot. Since about last Wednesday (so over a week now)I have been struggling. I haven't been doing great in my alone time in the Word, I haven't been praying like I was, I'm craving foods that I shouldn't and eating them instead of praying about it and have gained a few pounds back, I'm not doing great on the house work and I'm struggling in making the right decisions in my parenting as Monkey is entering into this new independent/I'm not listening stage. I know what has caused this struggle and I have been working on it but I have been doing alone and not letting God help me through...
