This past weekend, Matthew and I attended the
Teach Them Diligently convention. It was geared toward homeschooling parents but also focused highly on childrearing in general. I've always considering raising children to be an important task, but with all the new insight I gained at the convention, I'm more than ever thankful to know that Matthew and I can "approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in our time of need" (Hebrews 4:16). My next post will be a recap of the help I did receive from the speakers at the convention. This post is a reminder to myself of why we attended it. There are three reasons really...
Philip, my super hero / best big brother around!
Braewyn, my little chef in the making / best big sister around!
and Juliet, my baby who's really NOT a baby anymore!
I thank my Lord Jesus for these three blessings. They direct me back to Him because I cannot do this thing called motherhood in my own ability.
Quoting the Apostle Paul, I am grateful to say, "But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness'. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me" (2 Cor. 12:9).

your children are all so beautiful and you do a wonderful job raising them!
Your babies are getting so big! Philip and Braewyn look so grown up, and Juliet is losing the baby look. You do have 3 precious blessings from the Lord. I'm looking forward to hearing what you learned from the conference.
