I have had the privilege of getting to know Wendy Speake over the last year and a half via her Facebook Group (click here). She is filled with wisdom, gracious, and kind. I recently had the honor of meeting Amber Lia, who is also knowledgeable, fears the Lord, and who is generous with her insight into raising children. These two ladies are the...
It’s LAUNCH DAY for my friends Wendy and Amber. I have been praying, planning, and preparing for this day alongside my friends for a few months now. I wanted to give all my readers an inside peak into some of my favorite quotes from their book and provide all the links you need to get your copy today!
“As mothers, we forget that our kids are immature. Yes, they will also be out rightly defiant at
times; but I find that often we are dealing with our own unreasonable
expectations for obedience. These expectations
lead to biting and cutting punishment, instead of training our children in the
way they should go by pointing them to Christ.”
“Whining is not a sin, it’s merely a sign:
A sign that they
still have a few things to learn.”
“Peacemaking moms produce peacemaking kids."
Each chapter is jammed packed full of scriptures and sound
wisdom on how to direct our hearts and our children’s hearts to the Lord. I also love that every chapter ends with a prayer
to help navigate our overwhelmed hearts into His presence.
Here is one of the prayers from the book,
“Dear God, You want
all of Your children to be obedient. I
know that when we obey You, we receive blessing and You are glorified. Father, I want to raise obedient children,
but I also want to model obedience to You in my own life. Help me to see my kids through Your eyes and
to be their enthusiastic coach, lovingly pointing them to Your standards with
grace and truth, instead of anger.
Replace my frustrations with mercy.
Make me slow to anger! Help me to
run alongside my children, championing them and loving them well, even when
they disobey. May we all be more like
You, Lord Jesus! Thank You for Your
promises to help me
become a godly mom!
In Jesus’ name,
Amen!”
