Moving in 24 hours

I have to be moved out in 24 hours. Something I thought I couldn't do but I think I will be able thanks to my fiancé and my dad and my co workers. I would just like to say, "Daddy, I have never felt more like you then these past 2 days. I almost had to be you today or was thinking about it." I almost had to talk hard to someone because they couldn't get on the ball. Something else that helped me these past 2 days is that I could literally here my dad asking "did you call and check on your apartment?" "Do you really have it?" "How much is it really?" "Call the movers and see what they can do?" "Tell them you have lless things now and they are big things And other questions guiding me. I also feel like he was there when we picked the apartment. I think he would be happy with it. I really don't think I could have gotten through these 24 hours without him speaking to me. He knew I needed guidance with the 1st big move without him.

             Then my fiancé packed all afternoon after he got off work til I got off. That is 3 hours and he still ran around with me to get the keys and things like that. He got his friends to lean a trailer over so we could pack some things. They are driving the trailer to the three apartments back and forth. My co workers understood what I was going through. They would let me call people when I needed to during the day. One co worker is covering for me all day tommrow so I can move. I am really blessed right now and I think this whole process showed me that. 

               Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We Are Warriors for Christ!

BEST TIME EVER”

Deuteronomy 6: 4-9

This verse is about being devoted to Christ. Kids seeing us being devoted is a great way for them to see Christ.

Psalm 127:3-5

Kids are arrows and weapons.

Hide quoted text

Parents are warriors.
Parents are the bowman.

We must:

Align ourselves

Be devoted

Parts of the “Arrow”

Shaft

Identity

Body of the arrow.
Gives the arrow strength.
Made in the image of God.
-Gen. 1:27
Values are developed.

Fletching

Character

-Discipline
-Family rules and boundaries
-Consequences
-Proverbs 13:24
-Affirmation
-Provides security
-Build self worth and confidence
-1 Samuel 16:7

Tip

Mission

-Teach them to "set their minds"
-Col. 3:2
-Sharpening natural talents, gifts, and passions.

Release the arrow!

3 John 1:14

Warriors let's set up and make some arrows that will change the world.

1) Read Psalm 127:3-5. What are three things that these verses say about children?

2) Amy talked about the BOW and the BOWMAN. Why is correct alignment so important?

3) Read Deuteronomy 6:4-9. What is it you need to devote yourself to?

4) Life Principle: “More is caught than taught.” Your kids will follow your example more than your advice. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?

5) How can you show love to your neighbors so your kids can show love? How can you speak kind words, so your kids will do the same. Give some examples.

6) Read Colossians 3:2. What is it you need to stop setting your mind to so you can set your mind on things above?

7) What are you going to do to “craft arrows” that will impact your children (or the next generation)?
