The Nitty Gritty

Hey, ladies! Be encouraged in your reading! Don't miss chapters 3 & 4 for Wednesday. Ginger Plowman gets to the nitty gritty of probing our children's hearts. I've been using 1 Cor. 13:5 "Love is not rude." over and over and over! Hallelujah that God's Word is ALIVE. Speak it over your children and see what God does. If you read today you'll likely have some opportunities to "practice" the questioning technique before Wednesday! Can't wait to hear about how your mothering skills are being seriously sharpened! Hang in there! Drink deeply from the Well that will never run dry that you may water your family this week!!!

Don't be afraid of blogging your comments! :) We want to hear what you're thinking as you read.

Here's a topic from last week (chapter 2)
On page 28, Ginger says that "The heart of the problem is the problem of the heart." Do you see it like this? I met a man this summer who said that he just loves babies (I had my baby Hope with me) because they are so innocent and can hear God so clearly. Which one is right according to scripture? Ginger or this other guy?

Here's a topic from this week (chapter 3)
The "who had it first issue" on page 36 is one we surely all deal with. What do you think about Ted Tripp's assessment that BOTH children have sinned. How do you handle this in your home? Will you handle it differently in light of "looking beyond behavior to the heart"?

Love, Star
