faithful.

David and I were just discussing last night how faithful the Lord has been to us. We have been praying every night for our marriage, our children, our families, etc. Well, one thing we have been praying for specifically for a while now is how to bibically parent our oldest son, Camden. He's definitely gotten a little more challenging as he's aged. According to James Dobson, he's definitely not a strong willed child, which we are thankful for. However, there have just been many situations recently where David and I were unsure of how to handle it exactly right. So, we began praying for help. Well, within the same couple of weeks, we felt like God answered our prayers in two obvious ways. First, we heard about a 3-month class that our church is offering on Parenting in today's society. It's at the same hour as our other sunday school class, which we love, but David and I both knew immediately that the parenting class is where we should be. Then, for Christmas, my parents gave us the DVD series of James Dobson's "Bringing Up Boys". How amazing that now we have tons of biblical advice coming from both of those things. We are so excited to learn and apply everything the Lord is going to show us. We have been entrusted these precious children, but we know we can't do it on our own.

Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. ~Deuteronomy 11:18,19
