Our Letter Board

I bought a letter board that I palnn on using with the new Come Follow Me curriculum. Britten came up with one all by himself:

He told me he thought of it because he loves Jesus, and he loves money...hahah!

And one from Ryan:

I did want to place this thought here. We've seemed to be stuck in a rut and doing things without much success, so this hit home:

 I love that we can tailor the lessons to what’s needed for our family in our own unique circumstances. The story of Peter walking on water can resonate so many different ways with so many different people. We chose to focus on the aspect that the apostles were in the boat “toiling in rowing”(Mark 6:48). How many of us sit in the same situation “toiling in rowing”? Not really finding the success we are longing for. When Christ came, He said, “Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.” (Matt 14:27) Peter wanting reassurance asked to join Him, walking on the water. The Master said, “Come.” And Peter found a new way out of the storm. He began to walk on water. But fear overcame him and he started sinking. How many of us allow fear to hold us back? Fear of failure, fear of uncomfortable? I’m trying to teach my kids it’s ok to try something new. To have faith that they are capable of so much more than they know, ESPECIALLY with the help of the Master of all, Jesus Christ. Doing new things is scary, but if you want new outcomes, you’ve got to change the way you’re doing it.
