Gamechanging Habits in the Thick of Raising Littles
Starting and ending our day like this has been a total gamechanger during this busy season with so many littles.
It's taken tweaking and refining, and we're still open to feedback on it, but it's blessed us so much that we just had to share it with you guys.
This routine gives us time to focus on what's most important, it allows us to shepherd our children in the way we desire to do so, and it keeps our home running smoothly while staying well-kept.
We'd love to hear if this inspired you to try something similar! Also let us know what your routine looks like, we're always looking for ways to improve ours in order to be closer to the Lord.

Can 3 Year Olds Get Saved?
We came across a beautiful clip of Rich Mullins recently, where he tells the story about how he got saved when he was 2 or 3 years old.
It's sweet, but it brings up the question: can kids that young really be saved?
Which brings up...a lot more questions.
Join us as we dive into this question from the perspective of a mother and a father who desire their children to be saved with "boring testimonies", who are thinking a lot lately about what it really means when Jesus tells us to be like little children.

He doesn't expect you to have anything really. We literally actually have nothing without him. But I think it gets like I've noticed that it's like he yeah he gets upset. He gets upset when you don't realize like oh I don't have the strength but then don't go to him for it because he wants to give it to you and he you can have it abundantly in him. […]
