Sovereign Savior, many are the plans of my heart for this day, but it is Your counsel that shall stand; this is not the day I have made but the day You have made. You graciously give us the gift of “today” to repent & believe the Gospel, seek first Your Kingdom…

We can spend our lives fleeing the world in fear, fighting the world in anger, conforming to the world in surrender, or transforming the world in hope. Christ is the hope of the world. Rejoice!

I've made a lot of mistakes, but I have nearly 4 teens now, and I've learned a lot the hard way, and see other parents around me with less kids who are just getting to that stage make the same mistakes I made, so I want to share what I've learned. If you want to teach your kids
