Many people would agree that 2020 was a challenging year. Some would go so far as to say it was the worst year ever. At the start of a new year, we are all thinking about the future, and wondering, “What will 2021 bring us?” Whether you are filled with hope or overwhelming trepidation as you step into this year,...
When is the last time you discussed money with your teens? I’m guessing unless it was them asking you for money, it’s probably been awhile. Or maybe it’s never happened. Did you know that money is mentioned over 800 times in the Bible? Jesus talked about money more than faith and prayer combined. It’s a big deal! Money, and especially the love of money, has...
Deuteronomy 6:4-9 serves as an amazing foundation for living the Engaged Life as a family. Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at...
How often do you ask your family members, “How can I pray for you today?” If you’re like me, you pose the question when you see a need or if someone is in a hard situation, but do you ask this on a regular basis? How would our families change if we prayed specifically for one another? Better yet, how...
Recently, I recorded a series of parent trainings for Facebook. The first one was called “The Technology Takeover”, and addressed the ways that technology is taking over our lives during this COVID-19 pandemic. From school and work calls on Zoom to Facetime conversations with grandparents, we are all spending much more time on technology than we were before the coronavirus outbreak. The...
During this time of social distancing and the COVID-19 Pandemic, we are feeling the need for community more than ever. We miss the encouragement of gathering together to worship and serving side by side with friends. It seems like it’s been forever since we’ve had people in our home to share a meal and talk. It is so evident that...
Prayer—the amazing gift from God that allows us to connect our heart with His. We can praise Him, thank Him, confess, cry out for our needs and lift others up to Him through prayer. Prayer is powerful and effective. It is often when things get scary and difficult we return to Him in prayer, but when we pray continually, as...
In a previous post, I mentioned that we’ve been watching lots of movies together as a family during this time of social distancing. Well, Disney released Frozen 2 early, and my eight-year-old has watched it several times so far. One theme that jumped out at me as I watched it with her was a phrase that’s repeated throughout the movie. “Do the next...
Our God is good and faithful. He is all-knowing, all-powerful, and He is always with us. Christ died for our sins, and as forgiven believer, I can have confidence that nothing can separate me from the love of God (Romans 8:35-39) These truths about God’s character and His promises are “known” and familiar to me and other Christ-followers. However, it...
During this time of social distancing and more time at home, one thing our family has been doing is watching movies. With Disney Plus, it’s easy to gather everyone together and pick something to watch. Recently, we decided to pick an older movie that the kids haven’t seen. I gave them a few choices, and Katelyn, my 8-year-old, excitedly chose “Old Yeller” because...
