A God-centered activity for “blah” mommy days

May 16, 2012 | Posted by GodCenteredMom on activity with kids, Learn His Word / Tagged: Caroline Boykin, Mediator, Scripture Memory, Well Versed Family | 14 comments

*Would love to have a beautiful, reflective post about my injury…but I’m just not there yet. Continued prayers for quick healing are much appreciated.* Last Monday I woke up and wasn’t feeling the whole “mommy thing”. We had just come home from a weekend trip. The travel exhaustion + extra chores = “blah” mommy. I wanted to stay under my covers and finish my book…but mommies ...

    What a sweet object lesson! And it strikes me that I too am prone to fussing about not getting temporal rewards I think I deserve, and melting down from lack of understanding. Hmmmm…

      such a great point! I am so good at fussing about things I think I deserve & crying because of misunderstandings.

    I LOVE this! What a great way to turn around a blah day. I’m going to share with all of my mommy friends who still have kids they can carry up the stairs! :) I’m almost to the point where mine could carry me. Praying for your healing in that stress fracture!

    Really great idea! Homeschool lesson for sure :) On really bad days, I make everyone go back to bed and we all fake sleep until I come “wake them up” so we can start the day over. If all else fails, movie, popcorn, playground trip.

Only had to die once…

November 21, 2011 | Posted by GodCenteredMom on God-centered, grace, humility, Learn His Word / Tagged: condemnation, flesh, righteousness, Romans 8, salvation, sin | 7 comments

When my middle son was three years old, he spilled his milk during lunch. In his sweet preschool voice he exclaimed, “Oh no! Now Jesus has to die on the cross again!” He didn’t get it. First of all, he didn’t understand the difference between sin & accidents. Beyond that he didn’t understand that the ...

Hiding His Word {replacing “me” with “He” series}

November 9, 2011 | Posted by GodCenteredMom on God-centered, Learn His Word, replacing "me" with "He" / Tagged: Hide His Word, Psalm 1, Romans 8, Scripture memorization, Thoughts captive | 4 comments

This series {replacing “me” with “He“} would be incomplete without focusing on the importance of memorizing Scripture. Remember this is not a religious activity to make you a better Christian. It is for your benefit. When I am left to myself and my thoughts I spiral downward. The lies that I dwell on consume me. I am hopeless, frustrated, defeated. I lash ...

In training our children to be peacemakers and reduce conflict with their siblings ...

Whole Generation

June 16, 2011 | Posted by GodCenteredMom on Learn His Word, mothering, training tips | 7 comments

“After that whole generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation grew up, who knew neither the Lord nor what He had done for Israel.” Judges 2:10 Did you catch that? An entire generation grew up who did not know the Lord or what He had done for them? How does that happen? Hadn’t God commanded them: “These commandments that I give you today are ...
