Be Relentless!

This morning while getting ready for work I read a post on facebook from a sight called, "Women Made for His Glory." The post was a great reminder of the work God is doing in us and that we need to continue to "be relentless" even when the enemy tries to throw distractions our way. The enemy does not want us to further God's kingdom, and others may not always understand or agree with the chooses you make in following God's call on your life. Rest assured none of that matters compared to you having a willing and obedient heart to "be relentless" to the calling God has put on your life. It won't always be easy, it won't always be pretty even, but it will be worth it! Great reminder for my heart this morning as we're opening our home again to love on kiddos that need us to "be relentless."

Post from Women Made for His Glory...

Satan will try to use any means possible to distract you from what God has called you to do because he knows how dangerous you are to the kingdom of darkness.

Be relentless in your efforts to throw aside every distraction and run the race that God has given you the grace to run!

Empowered to Connect!

A couple weekends ago my husband and I attended a live simulcast training called Empowered to Connect. Man, do I ever wish I had that training years ago going into helping hurt children or even with raising my biological children. Better late than never though:)

Opening our eyes up to what is going on behind the behaviors that we see in children. How to be better equip to help these children overcome their challenges. Learning to understand that what we perceive as willful disobedience may just be to them survival skills.

 I recommend that if you are a foster or adoptive parent, thinking about being one, have biological children or work with children to any degree to read,"The Connected Child", by Drs. Karyn Purvis and David Cross. Also with Wendy Sunshine. I am reading it now and it continues to confirm the information I learned at the training. Bringing hope and healing to our families!!!
