Memories

Tonight I spent some time writing to my babies. I keep a journal for each of them and write things that I pray over them, stories of their growing up, encouragement, Love, blessings. The things I want them to know and remember. The journals are a way to show my little loves how important they are to their daddy and me. When they have grown and no longer are being trained and cared for by us, they will have the memories to carry with them. The promises God has for them.
It also allows me time to reflect on who they are individually. While writing I take time to look deep into each of their personalities. I can see the wonderful gifts God has placed in them and how evident they are as my children go through each day. My son is so loving and compassionate, I know God has placed in him a heart for people. A heart to care deeply for those around him. This will be such an inspiration to him as he grows into the man God has him to be, as he shares the Lord with those around him, and as he brings glory to God with all he does.
My sweet little girl loves to talk. I can tell by her personality that she will not let important things go unheard. I pray that she will use her voice to tell the world about the greatest Love there is.
I can't wait to see what God has for each of my children.

Getting back into blogging

This is one of the great moments in our family's life.... Alex learned to eat! Today, I had a visit from my very good friend Kati and her mother Cheryl to learn how to do special things with our blogs. We learned many things that can be done to enhance a post and the blog itself.I am so inspired now to do more with my blog, I just wish I had a more reliable laptop so that I could use it daily. That is one of the things I have on my dream list, along with a nice digital camera to help me capture and document all of the great things in my family's life.

My Goal

My name is Britni and I have a beautiful three month old little boy. It is the goal of my husband and I to train our children to love the Lord and follow His will for their lives, and to fully support them in doing so. Let me give you a little bit of my background. Many people may think a 21 year old with only one small baby wouldn't know a whole lot about raising children, but I have been around children my whole life. My parents adopted my little sister as a newborn when I was fourteen years old and I had the joy of watching her grow up and learn things through homeschooling just as I did. Also from the same age I have been a teacher of ballet, tap, and jazz to children from the ages of three through nine. Long story short, I have been working with children for a very long time so many of the things I may write about have come through a lot of thought. I plan on using this blog to share with other parents some of the things we have done and will do with our children to help t

{31 Days of Worship- Day 6} Forever

God's love and faithfulness endures forever. Forever for us as Christians is quite a long time, considering we are going to spend eternity with the Lord. There is nothing that could change His love for us from now through forever. Sometimes it's hard for us as humans to grasp the concept of forever, because as far as we know everything has a beginning and an end. But God is above everything we know. He always was and will always be. Forever. With all that in mind, let's sing praise to the one who is for us forever. Forever- Michael W Smith Give thanks to the Lord our God and King His love endures forever For He is good, He is above all things His love endures forever Sing praise, Sing praise With a mighty hand and an outstretched arm His love endures forever For the life that's been reborn His love endures forever Sing praise, Sing praise Sing praise, Sing praise Forever God is faithful Forever God is strong Forever God is with
