We arrived safely home today after visiting my mom and dad, my birth mom (yep, I was adopted) my step brother and sister. It was a wonderful experience of gaining two brand new families when I found my birth parents. My birth mom’s name is Janet and I have a sister Jill and a brother Jeff. And my mom named me Julie! It kinda trips me out that we are all four J’s.
Anyway that is another story for another time.
What I wanted to share with you tonight is this wonderful website called The Shepard Press Blog. It’s written (in part or in all) by Jay Younts and the company Shepard Press who published Tedd Tripp’s books "Sheparding a Child’s Heart" and "Instructing a Child’s Heart". There are many wonderful resources there and something encouraging us towards raising our children for God every day.
I read this here today:
Do you pray for this power?…
The next time you are tempted by the thought that the power you need is just not there, think of the creation and the power of God manifested in it…in the stars, in the lightning, in the earthquakes, in the hurricanes, in the tornadoes…and remember that that power, expecially the power of Christ raised from the dead, is God’s power for you to draw on to overcome the sin that remains.
-Mark D. Futato
Creation: A Witness of the Wonder of God, 37.
Isn’t that wonderful? Wow, talk about blown away with the power of the one who owns me, loves me and calls me his girl.
There was also listed on the website a link to the HUBBLESITE.
It’s amazing. So take some time to go explore.
It’ll be worth your time!
Rest in Him today,
Julie, Glad you liked the site. The Hubble shots are stunning.
Thanks for referencing it!
Blessings,
Jay
