162. It's Time to Take a Break. Why I'm Hitting Pause on the Podcast

Mama, I didn't want to take a break and not let you know why you haven't been hearing from me.
Basically, in a nutshell, I am feeling like I can't pour from an empty cup. With all the change life is throwing at me recently, including a fair amount of spiritual attacks, I feel it's time to have a rest.
For how long? I'm not too sure. All I know is that it won't be forever.
So until the next time you hear from me, be blessed in your journey of pointing your kids to Jesus.
Much love,
Deb

161. Want To Be a Better Mama and Christian? My Number 1 Habit That Can Give You This!

Mama, is it possible to form one habit and for it to transform your motherhood AND your walk with the Lord? 
I think so. In fact, I know so. 
In this episode I share how I have formed the habit of reading the word and how it has transformed the way I parent and my relationship with God.
Don't fret Mama. I don't leave you hanging with nothing else. I also share how I have formed the habit and what I would do if I did it all over again.
My heart is to inspire you to pick up your word and develop this habit of your own. And watch how your parenting and walk with the Lord changes in the process.

Want to be a fly on the wall in my life? I can't promise you it's extremely thrilling. But it will hopefully fill in any questions you may have on what life has been like for me as of late.
We have moved countries so we are navigating how to obtain a new home, school, church and hopefully new friends.
Not everything has gone as smoothly as we might have wished. But through it all, God is evident and drawing us closer to Him. And you can't really get any better than that can you?!

158. How to Teach Your Toddler How to Pray and Read the Bible

Mama, just because our toddlers struggle with words and can't seem to do a heck of a lot for themselves at times, doesn't mean they can't pray and be exposed to the word of God.
In this episode, I share how I am teaching my 2 year old son how to pray and how I am reading the bible with him.
I share where I would start in the process and what I would do next.
Even if you don't have toddlers, I hope this episode blesses you to pray more with your kids or get in the word more.
Much love to you Mama.

It's my birthday Mama. Today I have hit the big 4-0! Am I wise in my 40 years of life? Nope. In fact, the older I get, the less I realise I actually know. 
Despite that, I do want to share 5 lessons I have learned along the way. I share a lesson I have learned in my finances, faith, Parenting, Marriage and Health. 
My hope and prayer is that you take one of these lessons and apply it to your own life.

Much love Mama.
