Since the books of the Bibles aren’t in order when we do open our Bibles to read we don’t typically focus on a singular story line. Instead we focus our attention on the various lessons we can learn from the different books. But the story of the Bible, the big picture story, is the most and priceless story to ever be recorded.
So fast forward to now. We’re doing things differently. Preparing and celebrating differently. We’re leaving easter as most know it behind and getting back to the roots; refocusing our attention on the miracle of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection.
My kids are HUNGRY for the Word.
My kids are absorbing scripture.
They are memorizing scripture (which was our whole reason for starting this study in the first place).
They are connecting the dots when it comes to godly character.
They are eager to learn!

It’s one thing to know that prayer is the answer. It’s another thing to understand what exactly it you’re praying for or even how to pray. I know some people cringe when conversations like, “how to pray,” come up, but honestly, how we pray matters!

These three tips can help you navigate your prayers when praying for your spouse while also setting the standard of Christ as foundation for your marriage.
Ready for some honest? In my experience, most of the stumbling blocks we face when pursuing our goals and passions aren’t circumstantial. I used to think if only I knew the right people, if only I had a bigger following, if only I had a bigger budget; as if those things were the factors that would determine whether or not I was going to be successful.
