Books

I never dreamed of being a writer–it was never on my bucket list. But God often has different plans for us, plans that stretch us.  In my case, I suspect God gave Mark and I totally different personalities and a blended bunch of biological and adopted children to teach us what it really means to love well in marriage and as parents. It wasn’t easy for us. It is our hope that reading these books will make it easier for you.

From Me To You: A Conversation Journal for You and Your Son and Daughter

from me to you

We arrived at school, the kids got out the car, and I drove away, marveling that Megan had put into practice what we had discussed. I was so excited and wanted to encourage her to continue being patient with her siblings. 

Then my excitement turned pensive. I began to worry that I would forget to praise her after school. I knew I would be distracted getting all the kids where they needed to be, finishing homework, preparing dinner…you know the drill. But I was not going to miss this opportunity to encourage her. I drove home and immediately wrote her a long note of praise and left it on her pillow. Why are indelible words on paper often more powerful than fleeting comments?

This is where our From Me to You journals idea came to life! I am thrilled to share the From Me to You Conversation Journals with you! The journals helped me build a deeper connection with my children. Writing back and forth with my kids has opened a window to their hearts and gave me great peace about no longer missing parenting opportunities. The journals provide a great way for you to share positive words of encouragement (download book resources) your child can read over and over.
