I've had the book "The Power of a Praying Parent" by Stormie Omartian for a long time now, and I still haven't finished it yet. In fact, it's one that sadly gets forgotten when a bestselling novel comes along and catches my eye. But then I'll see it sitting on my desk and I'll pick it up and read a chapter or two. Each chapter discusses praying for your children in all the different areas of their lives...and then at the end of each chapter, it lists "Weapons of Warfare" or Bible verses to support that chapter. It's an excellent book and I'd recommend it to all parents....even parents of adults! Who knows...I might even finish it this summer! :)

The following excerpt really spoke to me, especially at the ending of yet another school year, where I'm reminded how fast my kids are growing up:

"We can't be everywhere. But God can. We can't see everything. But God can. No matter what age our children are, releasing them into God's hands is a sign of our faith and trust in Him and is the first step toward making a difference in their lives. Prayer for our children begins there."

Never cease praying, friends!!!

Brody's 5th Grade Graduation

Wow...I can't believe Brody is already finished with elementary school. Where has the time gone?! And if elementary school flew by this quickly, how fast will middle school go? It's enough to make a mama cry!

Here are some pictures from the 5th Grade Graduation ceremony. We are so proud of Brody and can't wait to see what the next chapter holds for him! Cedar Valley Middle School, here he comes!!!
