It was twelve years ago when there were three children under the age of six when I was introduced to Educating the Wholehearted Child by Clay and Sally Clarkson. Little did I know there were to be two more children added to our nest in less than four years.
Thank goodness the Father afforded me the opportunities to regularly attend annual Mom Heart conferences where the training, inspiration, and discipleship method of parenting was instilled and modeled by the Clarkson family.
Having been raised in a broken home, I longed for something solid to ground myself and my family. The banner of Christ along with the nature and character of God has been the driving force of Mom Heart conferences as we have embraced the biblical design of motherhood given to us by God.
Over the past twelve years as I practiced this method of discipleship and put into place certain elements in our family, I am seeing the fruit of my labor as I celebrate each unique season of my individual children's lives.
This past weekend I was able to, in turn, pass on some of these methods to a group of moms hungry as well to reach the hearts of their children. But I forgot to tell them something...
I forgot to tell them that on Sunday when we departed our spiritual mountain top experience beside the lake that they were entering back into the trenches of nothing less than warfare. I have had three of my gals calling in tears because it's just so hard...so hard to be in a broken marriage, so hard to deal with the spiritual training and development of our children when they are angry and rebellious. One woman even called me about another friend who needs to be encouraged and has no one to talk to.
So, today, I am so thankful for Mom Heart online, another resource to help us as we journey together to weather the storms of life. It is an honor to be considered a contributor to this powerful tool to encourage women. Thank you Father.

ReplyDeleteI had fun this weekend but I'm having a hard time with one thing. How do you describe honorable to a small child without using the word?
Oh Amy, you ask the hard questions and keep loving me whether I can answer them right away or not. Honor makes a person feel special but can look alot of ways...maybe that will help. Let's talk more about it at Mom Heart tomorrow! Love you friend!
