Parents,
I was looking over the scriptures for this week and was almost laughing at one of them. God has been really dealing with me about hearing His voice. It started after serving at Manna House one Saturday for Angel Food. I was placed at a car line with an awesome couple who loves God-Doug and Bonnie. Bonnie and I would take turns praying for ladies and Doug would pray for the males. Doug or Bonnie would say something like "there is evil in that car" or "there is a sad spirit" or something like that. I was hungery for that type of disccernment. So I prayed and asked God for me to be able to His voice more clearly. One morning I was driving out of my subdivision to go to work. I can turn left or right. I usually go the same way every morning. Anyway, I heard go "right" so I went right. I really didn't think much of it at first. But this happened almost every morning. Some days I turned left or right out of obedience. Next I noticed that I would hear His voice "sooner" when I would get in the car and then while getting dressed. Over the weeks. I would here "left" or "right" when driving to routine places. Sometimes I missed the turn and found my self back tracking to obey. Do you know it is so much easier to obey the first time than to find yourself driving around the roundabout and back tracking. How much time and or opportunities have we missed out becuase we didn't hear the small voice saying "turn here" or "go straight." I have found myself anticipating what direction God is going to take me in each day. I so desire to go where He wants me to. As much as I want this for myself I even more so want this for my children. How much heartache would be saved or what kind of doors/blessing we would have if we all could have such an awareness of God's voice in EVERY choice we make every day. That is the place I desire to live in.
I hope you find an increase awareness of God's voice in your own life and as you parent your children.

Wow, awesome scriptures this week as usual. I'm so humbled at the responsiblity we have to raise our children to become who God created them to be. When I look at the mistakes I've made. It would be so easy to wallow in guilt and regret. But I don't have time - we as parents dont have time. God is a forgiving God and can redeem time and our mistakes. He can use our mistakes to grow our children up.
Be blessed this week.

March - Destiny and Talents
Good Morning Parents,
I hope everyone is doing well. We are! Don't you just love those mornings when God wakes you up and calls you to come spend time with Him? This is one of those times. I had put off blogging last night because I felt I hadn't heard from God what to start of with. When He woke me up this morning I told God I felt "empty" - I love it when God answers you back. He said it's not you writing anyway it's ME! You can't argue with that. SO out of obedience I'm starting my blog for this week.
I have reveiwed the verses for this week and I'm excited. The Word is filled with promises of gifts, inheritances, and most importantly never being seperated from God.
So get your journals out and your pens ready for this week. Be excited about what God is going to do in your life for being faithful to prayer over your child and especially what God is doing and going to do in the life of your children.
March 12
"God has given each of you a gift from His great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one anothe." 1 Peter 4:10 (NLT)
Father God, I pray that my child(ren) would use the gifts You have placed deep inside them. I know that You have woven specific and speical gifts into my child(ren) while they were in my womb. Reveal them to me and to my child(ren). I pray that he/she would find completeness and joy in his/her life as he/she serves others with the gifts You gave him/her.
March 13th
"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the Heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." James 1:17 (NIV)
Heavenly Father, I praise You for the perfect gifts that come from above. Thank You Lord for not changing. I pray that my child(ren) would find peace in know You have given them perfect gifts as apart of their DNA. I pray that he/she will use, grow, and apply their gifts.
March 14th
"Just think-you don't need anything, you've got it all! All God's gifts are right in front of you as you wait expectantly for our Master Jesus to arrive on the scene for the Finale. And not only that, but God Himself is right alongside to keep you steady and on track until things are all wrapped up by Jesus. God, who got you started in this spiritual adventure, shares with us the life of His Son and our Master. He will never give up on you. Never forget that." 1 Corinthians 1: 4-7 (NIV)
Wow, Lord! Your Word is amazing. Thank You for never giving up on me. Thank You for giving us everything we need to do what You have called us to do. I declare this scripture over my child(ren) today. That he/she will always have what they need. I pray that they accept Your gifts and never give up on You becuase You have promoised to NEVER give up on them.
March 15th
"What, the, shall we say in repsonse to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?...v 35 Who shall seperate us from the love of Christ?... v38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present not the fututre, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to seperate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:31-39 (NIV)
Might God, I pray these verses over my child(ren) today. I lay claim to the promises that there is NOTHING that can seperate my child(ren) from You or his/her destiny. Thank You for the gift of Your Son and the assurance that you will not withhold anything from him/her so that Your call on his/her lift will be complete.
March 16th
"Furthermore, becuase we are united with Christ, we have recieved an inheritance from God, for He chose us in advance, and He makes everything work out according to His plan." Ephesians 1:11 (NLT)
Father God, I praise You and thank You for the inheritance that my child(ren) have in You. I trust that You will make all things work out according to Your plans for his/her life.
March 17th
"Jesus said, 'if there are no 'ifs' among believers. Anything can happen." Mark 9:23 (Message)
Gracious Heavenly Father, thank You that there is no road block that can keep my child(ren) from his/her destiny. I pray that my child(ren) would believe this verse in the depths of his/her soul. I pray that
my child(ren) would alway know that as long as they are in right standing with You that "Anything can happen."
March 18th
"The Lord your God will then make you successuful in everything you do. He will give you many children and numerous livestock, and He will cause your fields to produce aboundant harvests for the Lord will again delight in being good to you as He was to Your ancestors." Deuteronomy 30:9 (NLT)
Hevenly Father, thank You for the treasures found in Your Word. I pray that You will make my child(ren) successful in everything he/she does. I pray that You will delight in being good to him/her. I pray Father that the trust fund of spiritual blessings created by my child(ren)'s ancestors would flow over them in Your timing. Show me how to leave a trust fund of spiritual blessings for my child(ren) in my walk with You.
I told you. God's Word is powerful and so rich this week. I'm so reassurred this week that God has the best interset and plans for my children. Now, I'm praying this things over my children my question is how can we as parents get our children to know these things? Maybe we can write scriptures on a bulletin board ( I used to do this and have just stopped for some reason.) or we could slip love notes to our children with these verses in their pillows or in their book bags and they can find them and read them. I don't know what will work for you but we also need to share the Word of God with our children not just pray them. God's Word is so full of treasures for both us as parents and for our children.
I hope you contine on this journey with me and may God richly bless each one of you as you contine to journal and pray over your gifts from God.

March-Destiny/Tallents
Good Morning Parents,
I hope everyone has had a great week. My family is doing great. We are in the middle of trusting God for His direction in several areas of our lives. I find great trust in the scripture Ps 32:8 were God saids "I will instruct you in the way you should go and will counsel you with my own eye." That is pretty awesome to know that the creator of this world promises to show me the right way to go. I hope that this blog is encouraging you as parents to pray using God's Word to cover the different areas of your child's life. I love this months focus. One of my daughters is very focused towards a specific goal. She knows what she wants to do as far as college and career (now I know that can change as it does often with teenagers and college students - LOL) but for now she is focused. My other daughter -granted younger- has no real idea as to what she may want to do in life. For both girls I know how important it is to have God's guideness and blessing on their lives. I so desire for them to trust and hear God's voice for their lives.
I hope you find hope and courage in these verses this week. My prayer for you parents is that "God would help you to be the parents you need to be so that your children would grow up and be the man or woman of God that He created them to be."

Heavenly Father, thank You for the promise that Your gifts ar irrevocable. I pray for my my child(ren) today that he/she would function within the gifts and talents You have placed in him/her. I pray blessings over my child(ren) today.
Parents, God's Word is so powerful. I love how it tells us that once He gives a gift it can't be taken away. How awesome would it be for our children to understand their gifts and talents at an early age and be able to walk in them and you be able to see that grow and see God use those gifts to touch other people's lives. I pray that you would journal this week and ask God to reveal what He has placed inside of your children. Pray over that specifically and journal what God is doing and doors that are being opened.
Blessings to each of you this week.

"For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable, (He NEVER withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call)" Romans 11:29 (AMP)
Heavenly Father, thank You for the promise that Your gifts ar irrevocable. I pray for my my child(ren) today that he/she would function within the gifts and talents You have placed in him/her. I pray blessings over my child(ren) today.
Parents, God's Word is so powerful. I love how it tells us that once He gives a gift it can't be taken away. How awesome would it be for our children to understand their gifts and talents at an early age and be able to walk in them and you be able to see that grow and see God use those gifts to touch other people's lives. I pray that you would journal this week and ask God to reveal what He has placed inside of your children. Pray over that specifically and journal what God is doing and doors that are being opened.
Blessings to each of you this week.
