    83. My Help Comes From the Lord: A Reminder of Our Source of Strength

    The first thing Moses does when the Israelites survive the Red Sea crossing is to sing praises to God's strength. He immediately recognized that they had witnessed something that only God could do. That no matter how much they rallied their own strength and grit, they could never have literally parted a sea to save millions of people and conveniently swallowed up their enemy. Moses could be pretty smart sometimes. Throughout the bible, there are verses and lessons that give us wisdom regarding how weak we are but we have God to fill the gap. This applies to parenting too. We could read or even write all the parenting books in the world, but without going to the One who actually created us, we can't even fathom the power we could wield with him. Scriptures in this Episode: Exodus 15:2 Exodus 15:13 Psalm 121

    82. The War on Worship - Giving God Space in our Calendars

    Is your calendar full of the kids' activities? Do you have a to-do list a mile long? Me too. These are things that try to steal my attention and time away from God. But we need to put Him first. Anything that tries to get in the way of that has the potential to become an idol. Let's revamp our calendars and to-do lists so that the enemy does not have a foothold in our calendars. Let's put God in His rightful place: first. Scriptures in this Episode: 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 John 4:23 Check out all the new inspirational wear at Izzy Drew Lane! Looking for something specific?

    81. Rest and Refresh with God

    Daily diligent seeking of God is necessary to keep us built up in our faith. We need to seek His Word regularly to continually put on the armor of God. Some days we have more questions than answers, but some days we can just sit and be thankful. I stepped out my Bible study routine and decided to listen and praise Him before opening my study instead of after, and it became an even more personalized and intimate experience than I expected. God is so good. He loves us and wants us to just sit at His feet, rest, and be refreshed in His presence. Join me. Scripture in this episode: Colossians 2:6-7 Check out the new inspirational wear at Izzy Drew Lane! New designs being added reguarly so be sure to favorite the shop and follow them on Facebook.

    79. Your Testimony is Not About You

    Do you ever wish you had a testimony to share with others? If you think you have no testimony, think again! God is your testimony. If you think you have nothing else, you have Him, and He is everything! Listen to today's podcast for more encouragement in this area.

    78. How Parents Can Have Peace in the Midst of the Storm

    When we have to watch our kids walk through the same sinful behavior repeatedly, it can be heartbreaking, frustrating, exhausting, etc . . . Just when we want to give up or yell or more, we need to remember that no matter what choices our kids make, our own hope can still rest in Jesus. He doesn't change even when the circumstances do. He isn't moved by storms. He is steadfast in them. He is always available when we need Him and He is our sanctuary. Hebrews 6:19-20 says "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek." Let Jesus be the anchor in the storm and the Captain of the seas. Though we steer our rudders, we take our directions from Him. When we do that, we will be safe, we will find rest, and we will keep our hope that is in Him alone. And our kids will see that and hopefully follow suit. Don't give up; give them up to Him. Scriptures in this Episode: Hebrews 6:19-10 Luke 8 James 3:4

    Happy Mama’s Day!

    Fear not, mama! God’s got this. We tend to worry as parents. It’s natural. But what does worry bring us: fear, anxiety, stress, physical discomfort, and more. Instead, leave your worries at the Cross and trust God with our and our kids’ futures. He has them in the palm of His hands and He’s not letting go. Let this be your Mother’s Day encouragement. Scripture in this episode: Philippians 4:6-7 NLT
