Proud Mommy



One of the greatest joy's as a parent is to listen to your child pray.  I enjoy our nightly prayers together and one of the last nights before going back to school after Christmas break was extra special when my daughter said, "mom, I really want to make sure I go to Heaven so I am ready to pray that prayer."  You see in Children's church we had discussed salvation here and there and a week prior I had a very good conversation with my daughter about Heaven.  It was her who started asking me questions when she noticed I was reading the book, "Heaven is for Real"-  a great and fast read if you are looking.  

So as any 6  year old would pray she told Papa God that she was sorry for the naughty choices she makes, she ask him to make her a special house, and she was herself and real.  

There does not have to be a guided prayer that you say as long as it comes from your heart and you let God in and become the leader in your life each and every day.  

I pray right now you would get real with God and seek his face with a new hunger that only he can supply.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program.

After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way. Scared is a feeling that can be hard to face, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves. In  God, I Feel Scared , children will discover that it’s okay to be scared and that God is with us in all things, including fear. With simple, accessible text, scared becomes an emotion that kids don’t need to avoid and instead something they can use to better understand themselves and grow closer to God. The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way. God, I Feel Scared  teaches kids ages 4 to 8 how to: Identify the feeling of fear and recognize thin...
