Sewing Seeds..

My little Molli will be 2 years old in a few months, and I have decided that now is the time to start training her up to have a heart for Jesus. She is at that age where she is starting to learn new words and behaviors and I really feel in my spirit that God wants me to start working with her more. She's been in Church her whole 2 years of life.. but now is the time for me to start teaching her to apply it to her life and relationship with the Lord. I know a lot of people would perceive her as being too young for this.. but the way I feel is that if she is old enough to see a random tiny pawprint on something and ask for "Blues Clues"- then she is ready to start learning about her Creator!

Another big issue that I have been praying about is homeschooling her. I want to. Without a doubt in my heart! However, my husband doesn't understand the real reasons why homeschooling is better than public because he is only seeing the "worldly" standards.. (social life, real world interactions, ect. ect.) Things that I don't find as important as my child's relationship with Jesus. Anyway, sorry to ramble, back to the point of my blog (lol)- I have been praying so hard for wisdom and peace about my child's future education and God told me in my spirit- "If you want him to have a change of heart, you must show him.." So that has really been my biggest nudge on starting Molli's homeschooling this week. I need to get her accustomed to it and show him how much more beneficial it is for her soul! And God is so good to me.. I pray for wisdom and creativity for the lessons that I can teach a toddler.. and just 3 days into it, She knows the color blue, says Amen, and puts her hands together for prayer when I say "Jesus"! I am sewing these seeds into her soul and doing what I am called to do. I've increased my prayer time and bible reading.. and I am instructing my baby to have a heart for her Blessed Redeemer!

Thank you, Father, for the love you have given us!
