Spoken from the Heart: Parenting 101

When you envisioned being a parent, did it involve juggling a career, household duties, and extracurricular activities? Or, did you image being a stay-at-home parent who excels at growing a garden and keeping the budget balanced?

Regardless of what type of parent you dreamed of being, I think we can all agree that when done right, parenthood is one of the most challenging, but rewarding jobs we'll ever undertake. It takes skills to balance our time and finances alongside the needs of multiple children and household responsibilities. Our mission is to raise children who are self sufficient and productive members of society - while at the same time making sure the most important goal is modeled daily - a personal relationship with God.

While some of your desires and passions may vary from mine, if you're reading this book, we share the common thread of parenthood. With God's wisdom and our choice to keep Him first in our lives, it will not only be successful but we will rekindle the joy we felt when our child was first placed in our arms. Please walk with me as I offer encouragement in what is hands down one of the biggest blessings in your life. I pray you'll be challenged and inspired to continue to make a difference in the lives of those God lovingly entrusted to you.
