Trusting God with the Impossible as Mothers

Adult Children Christian Living Encouragement Grandchildren Loving Our Children Motherhood Praying for Our Children

"We mothers must take care of the possible and trust God for the impossible. We are to love, affirm, encourage, teach, listen, and care for the physical needs of the family. @prodigal #prodigalchild @mferrell

There's been a book that has been a comfort to me in my walk with the Lord as I parent a prodigal by Ruth Bell Graham called Prodigals and Those Who Love Them: Words of Encouragement For Those Who Wait. Waiting on a prodigal is hard, and this isn't a how-to book but a book of prayers and promises and meditations in the Word for troubled hearts. One section of the book that was a comfort to me and my hope is it will be to you too - whether you have a prodigal or not was the section titled: ... continue reading...

Praying God’s Word Over Our Children

There is no better way to grow in your love for your children than to intercede for them in prayer. @mferrell

“I have so much business I cannot get on without spending three hours daily in prayer.” ~Martin Luther Our children are a gift from the Lord, a heritage, a reward (Psalm 127:3) and they are ever so precious to the Lord and us.  Caring for our children is an immeasurable responsibility but one as believers we are not left alone in or to fend for ourselves.  We can cry out to the One who created all things and is the only One who can redeem them. We must take the time to train them up in ... continue reading...

I'm finding myself in a waiting room on the Lord, and it has reminded me that when I gave myself to Him I gave up my "right" to be in charge. #waitingonGod #trustingGod @mferrell

I'm finding myself in a waiting room on the Lord, and it has reminded me that when I gave myself to Him I gave up my "right" to be in charge (we never were in charge anyway we just came to that understanding when He opened our eyes to His sovereign control over our lives).  Even though it is a truth we know, how many times do we want to think that somehow we can effect change in our life situations? So, I am learning as the apostle Paul did that the thorn in my flesh is there to keep me ... continue reading...

Loving Your Young AdultTeen In The Difficult Times. @mferrell

  This week I'm sharing some articles from around the web that may be a help to those with difficult situations with teens or young adults in their homes.  I am praying these links may be a help and an encouragement to you to stay focused on the Lord and continue to pour forth love, grace and the gospel to your teen.   Make sure you are making time with your teen a priority in your life.  This is where the early years of building an open relationship of good communication are really needed. ... continue reading...

I am not sure when I was first introduced to Israel Wayne or his mom Skeet Savage but I am thankful the Lord crossed our paths.  His blog Christian Worldview has been a resource I have turned to time and again to: "Understand how the Lordship of Jesus Christ extends to all areas of life" (tagline from the blog).  He and his wife Brook have a great podcast that is practical to all areas of family life and their resources will be a blessing and encouragement to your family. One of his resources ... continue reading...
