First, I am praying that God will give my husband & me a specific vision for raising our own little pink arrows. They are all unique and fabulously made. I am determined now more than ever to be a parent who is purposeful. Second, I know it will take a commitment from me every day to be shaped by the Shepherd Himself…because “they will become as I am becoming..” (Paraphrased from page 22). I have to be willing to be shaped first before I am going to shape them.
Will it be easy? No. Will I be asked to forgo my own personal comforts? Probably. Might others think I am crazy? Surely. Will there be rewards? You bet.

I need this book. I feel like I know the "end result" vision I have for my boys - I just have no idea how to get there!!

I would love to have a copy of this book. I have four arrows that I would like to sharpen.
ReplyDeleteWell, huh . . . I was just contemplating this issue on my drive to work this morning -- and then a friend pointed me to your giveaway! This sounds like a book that I must read! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds like a great one. I know that raising my kids to be Godly and to love Jesus will terrify the devil!
ReplyDeleteI'd LOVE to win a copy! But if I don't I'm definitely ordering one! Thanks for sharing this with us, Stacey!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw this book on another blog, I made a mental note to put it on the top of my wish list. Love that you are inspiring us to get the book even if we don't win because there aren't many things that are really "necessary" in our lives, but doing our best to fulfill our God-given responsibility as mothers is certainly one of them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for three wonderful, amazing posts. I really appreciate it! And you don't have to put me in the drawing for the free book ;)
ReplyDeleteI've seen this book while blog hopping, I do need it for our 3 boys at home.
