Every Moment {COUNTS}

Image from Google Search
Do you ever feel like you are running in place with your children? That you tell them a million in one times how to do something however they seem to never get it or chose to do go against you?

Every moment counts in how we react to are children.

Turning every moment into a teachable moment draws them closer to God. Pressing through and holding fast to Jesus for them to "get it", for them to understand that every thing in our life is to prepare us for what is to come.

In our home we are teaching Discipline, and this has been hard for the children and myself for that matter. Why, because not only am I teaching my children how to be consistent, I have to be consistent, so they get it. 

How do we teach Discipline?

Turn every situation into a teaching ground. Pointing towards Jesus in the lesson to help them envision that all they do is for Jesus! That mom/dad are not out to make their life miserable, we are preparing them for what is to come so they dont compromise their faith and can withstand what the world has to offer.

We have dry erase boards with a list of each child's chores for the week. They are responsible for getting their list done. To accomplish consistence we shared with them that they are to get their list done every week without mom/dad asking them, or having to do anything on their list. If their list is not completed by Friday or mom/dad had to do any of their list, their weekend will not be filled with "fun things" they love to do {play games on the computer, video games, friends over}.

We also wanted to help them with problem solving when their days are packed and they can not accomplish their list that they ask for help. {my 14 year old plays basketball and they have practice every night till 715 and with homework afterward sometimes his load is heavy}. Instead of just not getting their list done they ask us for help. This way they are learning how to mange their time for the week.

This week was a challenge for my 14 year old and he wanted me to let him still play his video game when he was not consistent in accomplishing his list this week.  

Here is my chance to embrace this moment and use it to point him to Jesus.

Using the example not being consistent with the mundane things around the house will carry over into compromising our faith and not be able to fight off what the world has to offer.  Embracing that our home is the training grounds for what is to come. If we cant be discipline at home we cant be discipline in the world.

Seeing his face light up because he "got it" made my heart sing. Every moment does count and we want to embrace it with courage and always point them to Jesus in why we do what we do.

How do you point your children to Jesus in every moment?

What is a Christian?


What is a Christian?

This question has had me on my knees crying out to God. Why, because the term "Christian" has lost its meaning. Anyone you talk to says they are a Christian.
Matthew 7:16-20
"By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them"

What do you say when people ask what a Christian is? My first thought to this question is, if I could show someone what it looks like to be a Christian who would come to mind? There are two, Tim Tebow and Josh Hamilton.

The both know kindness and willing to take the extra mile for others because of their faith in Jesus Christ.

So it got me thinking, how would that conversation go if my friends were hanging out having a discussion over dinner and asked "What is a Christian?" Would they mention my name? Do they see Jesus Christ in me? Do they know what I believe and stand for?

Our lives are so much more then just going to church on Sunday, its a way of life.  Its living in a way that people can see there is something different about you.

Sidewalk Prophets say it very well. Take a listen to the words and ask yourself "Am I living like that?"My prayer that I can LIVE LIKE THAT!

"Focus on showing Christ's love and allow the
Holy Spirit do the convicting"


Sometimes I think
What will people say of me
When I'm only just a memory
When I'm home where my soul belongs

Was I love
When no one else would show up
Was I Jesus to the least of those
Was my worship more than just a song

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

I want to live like that
I want to live like that

Am I proof
That You are who you say You are
That grace can really change a heart
Do I live like Your love is true

People pass
And even if they don't know my name
Is there evidence that I've been changed
When they see me, do they see You

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

I want to live like that
I want to live like that


I want to show the world the love You gave for me
I'm longing for the world to know the glory of the King

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

I want to live like that
I want to live like that

One Thousands Gifts Review & A {Giveaway}

I am excited to share with you a sweet new friend Regina from Blessings Unlimited. If you have not heard of this amazing company I would encourage you to stop by Regina's website and check out some unique blends of business and ministry with exclusive home decor items and gifts created to encourage hearts, build relationships, and bring beauty to the place you live.

Regina contacted me and ask me if I would consider doing a review on the book "One Thousand Gifts" and the "1000 Gifts Journal" by Ann VosKamp. I was humbled to do so and very excited  because I am always up for a challenge in my walk with God. Needless to say what I was in store for.

 Here are my thoughts.

If you have not met Ann or take a moment to pick up this book, PLEASE do so. This book will change the way you look at everything around you. One of the best things I love about this book is that Ann truly inspires you to embrace the smallest thing and see it as a gift.

She pours out parts of her life and how she got through every moment. She has weaved scripture through the book to really embrace God and she has a gift with words. She teaches us how to take a deep breth and breath in to all the blessings that God surrounds us with every single day.

It has helped me to focus everyday on Gods little gifts so that I may see Him daily. She has reminded us how to reconnect with God. We as moms are so caught up in "life" that the lines to God has gotten tangled.  She shares with us how she discovered God in the midst of this life with children, all by teaching us how to take the time to write down all that God has given us in the moment. WOW!

I have been forever changed by One Thousand Gifts because being grateful brings me into the presence of God. I can find a blessing in hanging out with my 9 year old son, driving down the road, doing dishes, fold laundry, cleaning bathrooms. By stepping into Gods presence daily it helps me to stay focused and not sweat the small things. With out God every moment can turn into a deaster and me questioning, a place I do not want to be. When I am grateful the world looks so awesome through Gods eyes and worth every moment in taking our time not to sweat the small stuff.

"Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experince life and the world" Sarah Ban Beathnach

The greatest reminder we can encounter is that God is with us, right in our mess. I an thankful that I can now see Him in everything when I take time out to notice.

Having the journal was a great part of this jouney. Each page shares a little of Gods love through scipture and pictures for writing down each day of thanksgiving. Looking back on what God has given you is the best part in take this journey!

Regina thank you dearly for letting me review this book and journal, it was truly a blessing.

Regina has blessed us with 1copy of "1000 Gift Journal" to giveaway to one special reader. Simply chose below one of the ways to enter through rafflecopter. Enter once or all.

The Good Wife’s Guide Review & {A Giveaway!}

I am SO excited that Friday has come so that I can share with you a new eBook by Darlene Schacht from Time-Warp Wife called The Good Wife's Guide with a foreword by Candace Cameron Bure.



When Darlene from Time-Warp Wife contacted and ask me if I would review this book I will say that I was very excited. I am all about learning more and more about being a GOOD wife. I have followed Darlene around every since I have been blogging because of her wise wisdom she has to share.

The thing that I love about Darlene, even though we have never met in person, she is the real deal. Her passion in sharing Gods truth brings me to boldness in sharing as well. She has amazing ways with words and really can get to the core of your heart.


This book really does give you another look inside of Darlene in what God is doing through her, to help us to become good wives/moms. I love that she weaves her own personal stories to really help us to grab what she is sharing.


No matter what season of life the Lord has you in {single, newlywed, married} you can grab much wisdom and scripture from this book. Darlene takes the time to hit every kind of topic that we as wives/moms struggle with and backs them up with scripture. Topics you will find are defining Biblical submission, time management, honoring our husbands, being domestically challenged, selfishness finding rest so that we are able to serve.   

The one thing you wont find in this book is worldly views, you will find a life that God intended us to live joyfully serving our husbands/children.  Darlene encourages us to look past what the culture is telling us and embrace what God has planned for our lives as wives/moms.


The second part of the book I NEEDED the most, it tackles organizing our homes, creating a housekeeping schedule,  deep cleaning schedule through out the home and so much more.

I know this book helped me to look at what Gods plan is for us as wives/moms not the worlds. It is crazy out there and the world is truly trying to take Gods ways and twist them up. Taking a stand and knowing that God is who we please I believe we can embrace our rolls as wives/moms seriously just as Darlene has laid out for us through this amazing eBook in being a "Help Meet"! 




Here is a little bit about Darlene:
goodwifedarlene
“Darlene Schacht is an ordinary mom, living an extraordinary life, because of who she is through Jesus Christ. As help-meet to her husband Michael, she guides and nurtures their four children, leading them toward a deeper walk of faith.
Her work has been published in anthologies by Thomas Nelson, Tyndale Publishing and Adams Media. As well she has co-authored a book with actress Candace Cameron Bure, the award-winning and New York Times Best-Seller, Reshaping it All: Motivation for Spiritual and Physical Fitness.?”


Darlene has blessed me with 3 copies to give away to 3 special readers! Simply choose below one of the many ways to enter through rafflecopter. Enter once or all 6 times!

Saying Yes to God Week 3- Focusing on Our Parenting



Wow we are on week 3 of the Saying Yes to God Challenge! How are you doing so far? How has God worked in YOU, YOUR MARRIAGE since starting the challenge? Please take a moment to share in the comments what God has done through this challenge.


Today we are going to focus on Saying Yes to God in OUR PARENTING!

 Psalm 127:3
"Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward"

How do we say YES to God in our parenting? We let God write the story of being a mother instead of trying to create it ourselves. I know I am guilty of this.  I always dreamed of being a mom and told myself that I would be the best mother, then life got in the way and I FAILED terribly.


To be honest, I truly did not have the blueprints (Gods word) on motherhood to say any of those things. God is the creator of motherhood and He lays it out nicely!

How can we Say Yes to our children? We make them a priority. We treat them like they mean the world to us. We offer every bit of ourselves to them. We love them right where they are. We invest in them. We never give up on them. We tell them how much we love them. We make time for them. We set personal time with each child. We embrace that our children are our ministry. Most of all we are content with our life with them.

The world will tell us that children are a burden, they kill our dreams, they are pains, however when we believe what the world is spewing about our children, we are embracing the lie of the enemy. Keeping our eyes on Jesus always brings us joy in embracing the life HE has for us with our children!

This Week Challenge:
focuses on saying YES to things that bring joy to your children. Study them, learn their likes and dislikes, deeply. Dont let any distraction {computer, sleeping, cell phone, tv} come in the way of saying YES this week.

Here are some tips to help you to say YES to children this week:

1. Plan your days/time accordingly
I think for me this is my biggest weakness. When my days/time is not planned out,  saying NO to my children comes SO much easier because there are other things that MUST get done.


2. Start each day by spending time with God
This always helps to start out with God and then my attitude is ready to go for my children


3. Bend down eye level with each child and give them your FULL attention
This has made huge difference in both of my boys {14 & 9}, it shows them that what they have to say is very important, no matter what I am doing I stop and given them my full attention

4. Plan a special one on one time with each child
Taking time out to spend one on one time with your children truly does make a difference. It helps to build a relationship with them that is bonding. It also tells them that they are an important part of our life and we truly care what is going on in their life

5.  Have Family dinner nightly {if possible}
This is a time for the whole family to get together and talk about their days. It is a time for bonding as well in stealing how important family time really is

  
Lets stand up to the enemy and not let him dig is heals into our children. Being a mom is the one of the HIGHEST callings God can call us to be {in my opinion} and embracing it as a ministry will be forever changing in these precious little ones lives! Embracing the words "I will not let anything come between raising my children to TRUST and LOVE the Lord" will forever change how we look at raising our children.


Who is ready to SAY YES to our CHILDREN???


I am inviting you all to join me on this challenge. Please leave a comment and link up that you are joining me. If you are a blogger can I humbly as that you grab the "YES" button and place it on your blog somewhere so that others might join us on this challenge.

Tasty Tuesday with Janelle {Link up}

Sisters it is that time again TASTY TUESDAY!  Dig out those recipes {Link Up} and help us all to add some NEW recipes to our kitchen!

Janelle from Comfy in the Kitchen is sharing another great recipe, "EASY Apple Dumpling".  I will say that I can NOT wait to try this one and see if anyone can say what the "secret" ingredient is!!


EASY Apple Dumpling


I’ll never forget the first time I tried these Apple Dumplings at my Mother-in-Law’s house. She walked out of the kitchen wearing oven mitts holding the pan in her hands. She had a huge grin on her face and said I would never believe it- “Mountain Dew” was the *secret ingredient! “WHAT?!, who would ever think to put Mountain Dew in Apple Dumplings?!” I thought. Truly, I did not think they were going to be very good. But, I love my Mother-in-Law, so with a smile, my fork held high, and the silly comment “To my very FIRST caffeinated apple dumpling!” I dug in. “Mmmmm….WOW, are you serious!? Mountain Dew is in these?! These are delicious Kathy! Wohoo!” I said to her. I not only said it..I meant it…WOWSA! Alas, I have put aside my typical apple dumpling recipe (the kind that takes more time that I would like to admit) and showcase the most delicious EASY Apple Dumpling recipe you would ever stink you teeth into…enjoy ladies!


Peel, core and slice 3 Granny Smith apples (that is all you will need, honest).

Place one slice of apple onto one triangle of crescent roll. Start at the wide bottom side and roll up a bit, tuck in sides , then continue rolling.

Place in a buttered 9×13 pan

In a medium sauce pan add 1 cup butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla. Heat on medium high heat until boiling.

Pour sauce over apple dumpling then add Mountain Dew to the sides.

Sprinkle cinnamon on top. Bake uncovered in a 350 oven for appx 35 mins.

Here they are fresh and piping hot out of the oven. Serve with vanilla ice cream. This recipe makes a GREAT conversation piece…ask everyone to guess the *secret ingredient…they never will, hehe.

Her spiritual gifts are a mix of “hospitality and evangelism” and is here in the center of God’s will hoping to help you get a little more “comfy in your kitchen”!

The Girlfriends Guide Book Review/Giveaway

When I was contacted to review this book, I have to say that I was excited and nervous at the same time.


I was not sure if I wanted to jump into this book. Not because it would not be a great book but because I wasn't forsure I wants to face the fact that I might NOT be the friend that Christ has called me to be and this book would have me face those fears head on. Yikes!


However I took on the task of reading it and let me just say that the Lord help me to understand how to have a Christlike friendship with this book.

 If you have been with me long here at Becoming a Strong Woman of God you know that I am a military wife of 11 years. This life makes it hard to make friends because we are moving all the time. It seems just as we get settled, meet someone, it is time to leave.  I do have a best friend who we have been best friends with for 20+ years, she lives in one state and I live in another.

The first thing that caught my eye on this book was the warning it gave "Please read this book for yourself......not for your girlfriends". {2} I believe as women we tend to find great comfort pointing out our girlfriends issues instead of addressing our own.


The next thing I loved about this book is she relates her real life stories to explain our actions. I can relate to that and it made it truly easier to understand why we do and act the way we do sometimes. 


This was an easy read.


Marian takes the time out to discuss some pretty touch questions we face as women in our friendships. She also helps us to see that our friendships have "divine purpose" along with a few pointers for our friendships. 
  • Our Culture
  • Our Calling
  • Our Heart
This book is packed with scriptures to help guide us in our friendships, probing questions to get to the core of our actions and helping us to examine our friendships from the perspective of God's Word.


Marian really helps to get to the bigger picture that NO ONE can be our Jesus, except Jesus, not our girlfriends. "Only One saves us, Only one defines us, Only one completes us, Only one truly lays down His life for us, Jesus".{52} 

Though Chapter 4 {Dealing with your Baggage} was convicting, it was my favorite. Because it truly help me to look at myself and see what I was hindering in my relationship with Christ to be a Christlike friend.

Soaking on what sinful natures will hinder our friendship was laid out nicely.
  • Pride
  • Envy
  • Competition
This quote "Only when we choose to deal with our baggage do we experience the freedom and joy in our friendship that God intends".  Spoke to me in a way that Jesus is the way to a great friendship. Without Him we look to our friends to fill spaces that only Jesus can fill.


After completing this book I felt refreshed and filled with a starting point on how to look to God first to be able to become a Christlike friend. Dealing with my "own baggage" releases anything that can hinder my relationships. Finding out what kind of friend I truly was, was an eye opener in where I need and want to be as a friend. Most of all it showed me that the more I learn about God the better I become in all areas of my life!


THIS BOOK ROCKED!!

Say Yes to God Week 2- Focusing on Our Marriage

Photo Credit

How did your first week go in Saying Yes to God? I pray that the Lord moved mountains in revealing more of Himself to you through our first week. I believe Saying Yes to God to be the solid foundation we need to to carry on in our marriages and parenting.


Today we are going to focus on Saying Yes to God in OUR MARRIAGES!


How can we say YES to our spouses in away that we have never done so? I believe it starts with our way of thinking. When we redirect our thinking to our relationship with Jesus we carry out what God has called us to as wives.

Remember when you first got married you uttered the words "I will always make my marriage a priority",or "That will never happen to us". I know I said these things about my marriage.  


Then


work took up more time, then children came along and the next thing you know our marriage took  a "back seat" to LIFE!


By the time you realize it, the hurt feelings, the unspoken words, the broken promises, being too tired has consumed you.


This is the BIG sign that our eyes are on US and not JESUS! However thank God for His GRACE every single day to help us get back on track.

As we focus this week on Saying Yes to God in our Marriages, keep in mind that we will be at the foot of the cross seeking Jesus to become the wives that God has called us to be.

Saying Yes to God in our Marriages is keeping Jesus at the center of the marriage. Always running to the foot of the cross when we need to cry out. This is the key ingredient that will keep us saying YES to our Marriages.


This Weeks Challenge:
focus on ONE part of your marriage that you want to improve on. Take it to the cross daily and let God transform your marriage in away you have not experience Him. Hold your tongue and replace it with prayer.


Here are 8 tips to add to this week challenge to Saying YES to our Marriage:


1. Get up with your spouse before he goes to work and spend some one on one time with him.
I get up at 515-530 with my husband, most of the time, I make his lunch, talk with him, insure he has everything before he leaves, walk him out, just me and him before the day starts. This yells I LOVE YOU. When he feels secure in the marriage it creates a bond.


2. Call or text your spouse through out the day with encouraging words to lift him up.
Lifting him up builds up his confidence and lets him know he is believed in.


3. Greet your spouse at the door with hi's and kisses helping him to unwind
This is one of my favorite things to do for my spouse. I have no idea what kind of day he has had however putting him up on cloud nine when he walks into his home is always my goal.


4. Do something that your spouse loves to do
I took up watching football and being apart of what is important to him. This brings us closer and show him that I love what he loves. I do this without grumbling or complaining or trying to talk him out of it {wink wink} its ALL about him


5. Go out of your way to hold you tongue when he does something that bothers you.
When you hold your tongue and replace it with prayer you are letting God work on your husband. Walk away or out of the room if you have to. 


6. Get out and Date your spouse.
I can not tell you how IMPORTANT this one is to our marriage. When we take time to make this a priority all kinds of things happen in the marriage. This is where we bond, talk, reconnect, fall in love again. When we release stress we are better for each other and for our children.
  
7. Pray for your spouse.
Any weakness or area that  you would love God to work on, take them to the cross in prayer. Let God be the one to change his heart. When you feel like intervening get on your knees and pray.


8. Study what the Bible says about being a Wife.
Knowing what God expects of us as a wife will truly help us in our walks to saying yes to our marriages and NO to the enemy.  Standing along side God and letting Him take on the enemy will bring God centered peace.

Saying YES takes a lot of work and it truly shows us that we can NOT do it with out God. Take this week to truly focus on that God has in trusted YOU to be your spouses wife. That being a wife is our mission field. Embracing the words that "I will always fight for my marriage, NO matter what the enemy throws at us"!


You will see God transform your marriage in away that you have not seen Him when you say YES to Him and NO to the enemy!
