You are a blessing

I have been blessed recently to have found so many wonderful blogs and facebook sites about raising boys to be Godly men.  I have become serious about my responsibility to correctly train my children to follow His teachings.  We are continuing our nightly Bible time, using different materials that I have on hand.  I really like God's Mighty Warriors, a devotional book for young boys which has Bible readings and a way to make Godly choices explained in similar situations that my children may face.  (ex:  what to do when your little brother takes your favorite toy, how do you respond when your friend at school hits you, obeying mom and dad.)  Hopefully soon I will be able to afford to purchase some of the materials from Doorposts.  I have really liked reading through their blogs and would like to try their Bible teaching material.  I am also continuing to stay in prayer over chosing to Home School or keep our children in public school.  Right now I am defering to my husband's wishes for public school.  However, this is weighing heavily on my heart.  How do I train my children at home to be followers of Christ, and then send them out into an ungodly environment?  I already see words and behaviors being picked up from his "friends" at school.  My heart's desire is to keep them separate from worldly influences.  Even at home it is a challenge with all the TV, superhero movies, video games, etc.  How does a mom compete?  I am turing this whole thing over to God and trusting Him to bring about His will.  "Cast the whole lot unto the Lord"  "Thou wilt keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast"

  1. Managing the worldly influences is so hard and requires such prayer and persistence.

  2. I would like this material for little girls. I have two granddaughters very close in age so they will need to learn to respond to each other appropriately in different situations.

  5. We just have to do our best, pray, then let God do the rest. Hard to do, but recently God showed me how He takes care of those things I left up to Him. I taught my son to be careful about his choice of music, but as he is 16 yrs old, I can't really check on what he is listening to. Recently his cousin with a big influence on him, showed him videos on Utube about the music industry. Praise God, he removed a lot of the worldly music from his Ipod and replaced with praise music.

  6. My husband was against me homeschooling at first, but G-d spoke to both of us in a big way and now I'm going to homeschool my two youngest next year! Pray - it works so powerfully. Samantha from vB
