Parenting

As we have mentioned before we are apart of fabulous small group. We meet every other Friday and we usually study topics on marriage and parenting. There are 5 couples and we each have one girl that is within 4 months of each other in age. We hire babysitters so we can have un-interrupted adult conversation. Erik and I lead the study and Andy & Aimee host the study in their home. We LOVE it!!! It is always challenging, refreshing, and lots and lots of laughing!
Our church began a PYK (Parenting your children) 6 week study at the church on sunday nights titled Parental Guidance Required by Andy Stanley. We tend to LOVE Andy Stanley and all his studies/ books.
The great thing about this study is it for parents with all ages of children. Andy's perspective on the importance of genuine loving time is more profound then we could have imagined. This study is extremely challenging and we HIGHLY recommend it to EVERYONE! If you can't do the DVD series then at least read the book. Has anyone else read or been apart of this series? Thoughts?

We have been given such a HIGH calling as parents to guide and direct our children. Macey is God's and we have to trust Him. But He expects us to raise and her in the ways of HIM. What dose that mean? How to accomplish it? What is too much or not enough? We are excited for this adventure of parenting and we thank God everyday for the blessing He has brought to us.
