Last week I first wrote about my New Year's Resolution to parent better. Which means to be more intentional in my parenting, training my daughter to seek God through teaching and watching.
So how did we do this week?
Well, Not perfect. However, we did a "little girl" devotional this week, memorized a bible verse, and watched fewer movies. So I'd say we're off to a good start.
Pretty far from where I'd like to be, doing a devotional once a day, working on our memory verse once a day (atleast), and having her see my spend time with God on my own. Usually I do my own personal devotional time at night, although, I'm noticing that if I take the time to spend with God during my morning I get alot more out of it... because by 9:30..10...sometimes 11 pm God gets the tired brain cells that have a hard time even reading, let alone processing.
So that's my little update. We're working on things and in time - we'll get it down.
I am looking forward to the change in Amariss as she is becoming more aware of God and others around her.
This morning on the way to church she declared "I wanted to be a real princess!" And I said "Honey, you are a real princess! If you believe that Jesus died for your sins and became alive again you are his daughter! And he is the King bigger than every other king!" To which she replied "like me! I believe that! - God's light is shining in my eyes." (as we headed towards the sun).
I love having a 4 yr old, their minds are always moving and they have the words to talk about it!
