As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.

Robert and I have been slackers and now we're paying for it.

A missionary once told my son Robby that he is teaching his daughters not only to obey but how to obey.

Immediately- right away
Completely- all of the job the right way
Willingly- with a happy heart and a smile

We started enforcing this into our everyday lives awhile ago. However with the change of living with Roberts mother and siblings we have slacked off as parents and now are paying for it. Robert and his brothers often insult each other as jokes and laugh about it because they think they are funny. This is something I parttake in occasionally i admit. However I am now hearing the same things come out of my 7 year old's mouth in the wrong context. In many cases it's out and out insulting. It my fault I take film credit. Now I am having to buckle down on my kids and myself and reteach them manners because I wasn't paying attention. I feel like a horrible parent because I screwed up. I want to raise my children surrounded in the gospel. I don't want to shield them from the world I want to prepare them for it. I want them to face everyday with God as their cornerstone. When they get up in the morning and get dressed I want them to put on the full armor of God. Do so So that they are aware of where evil is what it does what it looks like so that they may fight against it. I want to hear them singing praises to the Lord and giving thanks to Him everyday. I want them to know that Christianity is not easy but it is beautiful. I want them to look at Christ and want him on their own accord not just pray to pray. I want to make the Bible exciting so that we'll all want to read it more. Then I want them to want to share their own life story and how Jesus saved them I want them to become a testimony of Christ. I want them to love people like we do. I want my children to be on fire for Christ. I don't care what their profession is I just want to look back and say yeah I made mistakes but I was the parent I wanted to be. I love my Children I dedicated them to the Lord. Time to do it again this time in preparation for the mission field. Is that to much? I can strive for this can't I?

We have 6 weeks and then we meet the missionary and volunteer team at the camp in South West Pennsylvania.
I am so excited. Please be praying for us.
