the girls did amazingly well this past week learning our verse of the week.  mykah even memorized it!  {HIGH FIVES all around!!!}

so this is the verse for this week ... "always pray and NEVER give up.  luke 18:1".  i chose this one because we've been talking to karsyn a lot lately about never giving up when she is trying new things and to always remember that God is with her.  that it is okay for her to pray at school to herself.  that it's okay to tell her teacher what her new verse is.  and that no matter what she is feeling (sad, scared, excited, happy...) that God is always there.

i am constantly trying to find new ways to fill our home with Jesus.  this isn't something i've always been that good at.  sometimes we went to church.  sometimes we prayed before we ate.  sometimes we read bible stories.  sometimes.

now.  it's all the time.  we seldom miss a week of church.  we pray all the time.  we even pray when the girls are fighting.  we pray before meals.  we pray before bed.  we pray before we leave the house for school.  we read a devotional at breakfast and we read a bible story at bedtime.

we so desperately want our children to grow up knowing who God is and what He did for us.  another way we are making Christ the center of our home is by having a "verse of the week" for all of us to memorize.  easy enough for the girls to learn.  "you fill me with joy.  psalm 16:11"
