Preparing Our Hearts

I want this experience to make a BIG impact in Mackenzie’s spiritual growth.  It’s always been my heart to intentionally raise my children.  My vision for them is that they have a heart that knows and loves the Lord.  I want them to have a personal relationship with God and keep God the center of all that they do.  I want them to have a strong desire to love and serve others. 

Yet, I feel inadequate to equip my children properly.  Life is too crazy; especially now as a single parent with an absolutely crazy career.  So, part of my spiritual journey is to remember I can’t but God can.  I need to remember to pray and ask God to help me prioritize my time.  God can help give me the tools and resources to accomplish what He has planned. 

To start, I know I must prepare myself.  Just like I work out to build my physical strength, I need to “work out” to be stronger spiritually.  I must be a good example for Mackenzie.  She needs to see me prepare; we will prepare together.   I’ve searched on line and have found some journals that I will purchase for us.  I’ve also found videos to help us learn more about Belize and how to prepare our hearts for serving.  If anyone has any ideas that will help us, please send them to me.  We’re grateful for family and friends that want to participate in this journey with us. 

Dear God, Help me to walk FEARLESSLY into this journey. Please prepare my heart and mind for what you’ve laid before me.  Help me to lead and inspire Mackenzie to do the same. Amen!
