Happy Saturday, sweet friends. Today, I was stuck in a corn maze with my husband, sister-in-law, and five small children under the age of seven for over two hours. We never {I repeat never} found the exit. That is right, sweet readers. We exited out the entrance and said, “Good enough! That’s a wrap!” I. Am. Exhausted.
I am too tired to type words that will inspire you and I to live like Jesus today. I simply cannot go on. I need sleep. Don’t judge me.
For tonight, I am entrusting my little space of the Internet to a woman I trust and admire deeply. You know Jen Hatmaker, right? No, she is not guest posting. {I wish!} That isn’t the case unfortunately. Instead, I’ve simply found this perfect-for-the-theme YouTube video from Jen by searching “missional living” and such key phrases in Youtube. I know. I’m brilliant. Hold your applause.
Quite frankly, I feel like my last two posts on the topic of raising mission-minded children have been borderline bossy-pants. So…thankfully, Jen Hatmaker found more eloquent words.
Here’s Jen Hatmaker on the subject of Raising Disciples. {Click on Raising Disciples, friend.} Happy viewing!
Goodnight, precious readers. My pillow is calling me.
From my sleepy heart {and Jen’s timely words} to yours, ~Courtney
Excited to watch, hilarious Courtney x
Hi, Courtney! I am always amazed when God speaks to me through a message. I have been worried about my children and where they are going. The truth is that I know I need to give them over to God because as a human, I don’t always know what is best. The video really echoed what I have been worrying about, and I took heart from it. Thank you!
That is wonderful to know, Carletta. I struggle with surrender VS control (ie: my own plans) as well. I am learning every day to hand my children to God.
