Jun. 18, 2009 - Purposeful and Intentional Parenting

I wrote a guest post for Joy at Stay At Home Missionary on parenting and you can read it here.  Joy and her family have been serving on the mission field and have been traveling back to the states for a nice long furlough.  While they are missionaries on the field, Joy sees that her main ministry is to her family.  We must not ever forget that and we must tell others about it.  When I was first saved and began going to church, I was often encouraged to find a ministry and plug in, no one told me that my husband and children should be my ministry.  That is a shame!  Thankfully the Lord put women in my path such as Sally Clarkson & Jenny Chancey to point me back home! 

Over the next week or two I will be elaborating more on Purposeful and Intentional Parenting so check back for more. 

May the Lord bless you as you serve and bless your family.

Ms. Robin,

I recently came across your blog and those of your lovely daughters. I'm a new Christian and have found your family's story so inspirational. Thank you for being a model to other women.

Thank you for your words of encouragement. I always love reading your posts. They are very uplifting. :)
I miss you so much. Life has been very busy. I am not going to make it down to see Breezy's art. I'll just have to wait 'till it goes on sale. :)
Hug each other for me.
I love you lady!,
Marie :)

I, too, was a young mother when a missionary friend shared with me my true ministry~that of family and home. So often, young mothers are laden with guilt because they don't feel they have any "ministry".
I like what one pastor said from the pulpit, "Ladies, when I say ministry, I want you to interpret home!"

I am a minister's wife, and every church we have served in my husband and I have made it clear that my most important ministry is IN our home, not the church:)
I may not be the "typical" pastor's wife, but I do strive to be the woman, wife, and mother God instructs me to be. Thank you for sharing this message!
