Story of a boy and girl. The boy traded his marbles for the girl’s candy, but kept his favorite marble for himself. That evening, the girl was happy with her new marbles, but the boy couldnt help but think that the girl had cheated him as he had cheated her. It is best to approach relationships giving it your all, because if you hold back, you may be less pleased with your relationship.s

Leadership starts with asking questions. The best leaders understand that we empower those we lead by asking questions and being though proving leaders not demanding leaders. I shared an exert from an article on Socratic Leadership. The goal is use questions as a powerful leadership tool. ” Questions can also be used to communicate beliefs, set cultural norms, and push the edges of peoples thinking.”
MOLESKIN:
We recently discovered that my 11 yr old step son has been looking at pornography. As parts this is never an easy conversation. I ask that we have the strength to approach this in a manner that encourages our son to come to us to ask questions not to push him to be afraid.

Alex Cravens, the Youth Pastor at Butterfield Church in Russellville, Arkansas, recently posted.

Don’t feel sorry for or fear for your kids because the world they are going to grow up in is not what it used to be. God created them and called them for the exact moment in time that they’re in. Their life wasn’t a coincidence or an accident. Raise them up to know the power they walk in as children of God. Train them up in the authority of His Word. Teach them to walk in faith knowing that God is in control. Empower them to know they can change the world. Don’t teach them to be fearful and disheartened by the state of the world but hopeful that they can do something about it. Every person in all of history has been placed in the time that they were in because of God’s sovereign plan. He knew Daniel could handle the lion’s den. He knew David could handle Goliath. He knew Esther could handle Haman. He knew Peter could handle persecution. He knows that your child can handle whatever challenge they face in their life. He created them specifically for it! Don’t be scared for your children, but be honored that God chose you to parent the generation that is facing the biggest challenges of our lifetime. Rise up to the challenge. Raise Daniels, Davids, Esthers, and Peters! God isn’t scratching His head wondering what He’s going to do with this mess of a world. He has an army He’s raising up to drive back the darkness and make Him known all over the earth. Don’t let your fear steal the greatness God placed in them. I know it’s hard to imagine them as anything besides our sweet little babies, and we just want to protect them from anything that could ever be hard on them, but they were born for such a time as this.

Just think about this and then think about what your own kids have already accomplished in life … no matter their age.  In all likelihood, you will think of some pretty incredible stuff.  You will also believe that Alex Cravens post is spot on.  Don’t stop with that, let your kids know how incredible they are.  You might catch them off guard and best of all, you might inspire them to achieve greater things.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I have been lacking self discipline over the course of the past month. I have lacked motivation in all facets of my life. I returned to church Sunday and the message really stuck with me. The message was about Ananias in the Acts of the Apostles. Ananias was told by Jesus to restore Paul’s eyesight and ultimately changed the way he lived. Ananias at first questioned whether this was the right thing to do as Paul had persecuted disciples and sought to inflict harm in those early followers of Jesus. However, Ananias was obedient and put his own questions aside and intervened on the behalf of Paul. Paul later became instrumental in spreading the faith across various regions.

Like Ananias, we sometimes don’t want to do things as we all have our own opinions and beliefs. We should strive to be more like Ananias and do those things we might not want to do and reach people when it may seem like a burden to us. Sometimes the end goal is bigger than ourselves alone and can make quite an impact on others as it did in Paul’s life and all those he reached through his ministry. Who has been an Ananias to you? Who can you be an Ananias to you within your family/ work life?

Many of you know awhile back we were looking for a daycare for our 6 month old and we were quickly running out of time.  I wasn’t worried.  I was praying about it along with other friends and family.  I had confidence God would provide and he did!  An availability came up the week after my mother-in-law could no longer keep him.  God answered our prayers but what did I do after he provided?  I went about my life.  It probably took be a full week until it hit me….I never thanked God for providing!  Philippians 4:6 says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”  I did the supplication part of that verse but not the “thanksgiving” part.  Sometimes we come to expect things of God, family, friends and there’s nothing wrong with that.  In fact, we should expect certain things from God, friends, and family.  I expect my wife to love me, be patient with me, share life/family responsibilities, etc.  But that does not mean we should stop being grateful!  Remember as you go throughout your week to show gratitude to those around you.
