Sweet, Sweet Sounds

Lately, I have been really focusing on the goals/plans I wanted to accomplish during deployment.  As I have mentioned before, some of my goals are of course the usual get organized, loose weight, re-decorate etc.  But the goals I really want to accomplish that will have a much more lasting, meaningful purpose have really been on my mind lately.  One of those goals was to have a daily devotional time with the kids and to teach them scripture.  We try to read a bible story at dinner when it is possible or as we wind down at bedtime. In addition to this, another goal I had was to help the kids memorize scripture.  We have been working on a couple of  scriptures and they have done really well memorizing them.  I know how important it is for me to memorize scripture and pull on that knowledge during times when I need encouragement or strength etc.  So, I want the kids to have that same knowledge.  I am so proud of what they have learned so far and I wanted to share a couple videos of them saying their verses.

*you may want to pause the music player at bottom so you can hear the kids better ;)

You are such a good Mommy, Jessica. They are learning life's fundamental's & they can cling to that for every circumstance in life.
What a great job, Jackson & Madeline!

That's great!!! Songs for Saplings CD (they have a website) is something I've used with the boys to learn Scripture. They love it and it's helped me learn more Scripture too!

Wow those were not easy verses. The kids did great. I have a dry erase board by my front door and we usually post a verse up for the week.

I am putting my deployment goals to paper this time and holding myself to it! I feel like last time all I did was shop.

Great job Madeline & Jackson. What a wonderful, lasting gift you are giving them.

You are such a good mom! This may sound like a stupid question, but do you read straight from the Bible, or do you use a children's Bible Story book?

Your children did great! I bet you and your husband are so proud!

I made some goals at the beginning of my husband's deployment. I accomplished some and failed at others. But this is a goal that's definitely worth pushing toward. You inspire me!
