Greeting to all members of this wonderful family in Jesus name

Moms, I could use some encouragement and advice. How do you stay consistent reading the Bible with your children when you’re struggling to stay consistent in your own personal time with God? Lately I’ve been feeling discouraged. Even when I make the effort to get back into reading, my son often doesn’t seem interested. Sometimes it feels like I’m forcing him to read rather than helping him develop a genuine desire for God’s Word on his own. I want to lead him well, but I’m not sure what the best approach is. Have any of you experienced this? What helped you encourage a love for Scripture in your children without making it feel forced?

I don't know who needs this tonight, but I'm going to pray for you the same way I'm praying for myself.Father God, Lord, I'm not asking for the easy route. I know that's not how growth works.I know that's not how faith is built.I know that's not how You shape us. But Father, I am asking You to keep my mind. Don't let me lose my way in the middle of the battle. Don't let disappointment make me bitter.Don't let waiting make me wander.Don't let loneliness make me settle.Don't let exhaustion make me quit. Keep me. Your Word says You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on You. So tonight, I'm seeking what You promised. You promised to lead me beside still waters. Lead me there. Because my mind has been Loud. My heart has been heavy.And my soul is tired. But You promised to restore my soul. And I believe You. Even when I don't see it yet. Even when the evidence hasn't shown up yet. Even when my circumstances are trying to tell a different story. I choose Your Word over what I see. I stand on Your Word for myself. I stand on Your Word for my children. I stand on Your Word for my finances. I declare that lack is not my portion. I declare provision over my household. I declare wisdom over every financial decision. I declare that my barns are full and my cup is running over. I thank You that You are teaching me how to steward what You place in my hands. And Father, when loneliness tries to visit me, remind me of Your promise. You said You would never leave me. You said You would never forsake me. So even when the room feels empty, I am not alone. Even when I feel unseen, I am not forgotten. Even when I feel weak, I am still carried by You. Tonight I lift my eyes to the hills. My help is not coming from people. My help is not coming from circumstances. My help is not coming from my own strength. My help comes from the Lord. The Maker of heaven and earth. The God who has never failed. The God who has never broken a promise. The God who is writing a story bigger than what I can currently see.

Someone said go celebrate yourself and she said SAY LESS. She did not stay home. She did not do a little something. She went OUT. All the way out. Full send. No looking back. And that DRESS. Can we talk about that dress for a second because it is absolutely stunning and she wore it like she knew exactly who she was when she put it on. This is what I am talking about right here. This is what it looks like when a parent who has been pouring into everybody else finally turns the cup toward herself and says today is MY day. You earned every single moment of yesterday Natalee. Every reservation, every compliment you received, every head that turned you deserved all of it. Because behind that stunning dress is a parent who never gave up, who kept showing up, and who chose her children again and again even when it was hard. Yesterday you chose yourself. And it looks GOOD on you. 🔥 My Grandma would have looked at this picture and said now THAT is how you celebrate. 🧡 We see you Queen. We celebrate you. Don't ever stop showing up for yourself like this. In honor of Frances Marie Williams. 🧡 @Natalee Pinnock

Please forgive me for my lack of connection here. I have been trying to catch up with my class and maintaining my household with teens and preteen. I have been missing a lot and I need to be diligent. I have been more intentional in God’s word lately. Wanting to go deeper in him.
