What IF

What if? So not too long ago my friend & I hosted an IF local at my house, a women’s conference that you stream live at home. One thing that really hit me was a women sharing the story of The Good Shepherd. The lady shared the Bible story with her young 6 year old daughter & her daughter said something along the lines of “I don’t know the shepherds voice yet Mommy, but I know you do so I’ll follow you. ” And something about those words shook me to the core & I had to ask myself some hard questions. 

Is the way I live my life leading my sons to hear the GOOD SHEPHERD’S voice? We talk about God everyday but am I displaying it for my kids in a tangible way!? Ouch!!!! When I rise first thing in the morning does my son see my pick up my phone or my bible?! If I’m being honest most days it’s my phone. I eventually get to my Bible, But what if it was the first think my little Mason saw me pick up! So those simple words from a six year old, challenged me to a total Paradigm shift. “Where are my priorities & what am I doing to lead my kids to hear The Good Shepherd on their own?” It has changed the way I do life. I’m not gonna stand here & say every day since then I haven’t missed a day starting with my bible. Every day is a challenge, sleepless nights, busy morning, but I’m reaching for Him first. I challenge you to start the day in scripture, it changes the pattern of your day & cultivates love, grace, & peace. Seriously my heart is singing this morning because I am free in Christ. Happy Monday y’all, the struggles are real but God is Real so rest in that. 😘
