Quotes to Remember:

“My childhood was pretty messy. In my in our home growing up there were so many strikes against me.” “I was really excited about being a Christian and being God’s child.  I had never even been to church.” “Our home is a place of service and blessing and we’re always remembering that we’re pilgrims and strangers here on the earth.” “I think when you take that extra time to build an environment of love and teamwork, and we’re all serving God together when they’re young that carries into their teen years.” “The responsibility is on us to set the direction and vision for the family and with the kids.” “It’s not something that I want people to think you have to have this big, rigorous plan to do everything perfect. Start somewhere and respond to your heart and your walk with the Lord.” “There’s a lot of ways to cast a vision to get your kids involved with your heart in serving, honoring God, and blessing your neighborhood.” “Casting a vision happens in the non-confrontational moments when the kids are the best versions of themselves, and they want to participate.”
