Catechism is a Blessing to Mommy, Too

Soldier, Athlete, Farmer… Mom

December 29, 2012 Intentional Motherhood

by Gloria Furman One morning last week at 5:00am the static on the baby monitor came alive. I could hear my preschooler calling for help. Fever. Wet bed. Tears. Vomit. Nurse Mommy to the rescue! My sweet girl spent most of the day lying on the couch when she preferred to be wading in the [...]

Bringing Worship Home

November 21, 2012 Intentional Motherhood

by Lindsey Carlson In my early parenting days, the responsibility of teaching my children diligently all the time was enough to make me hyperventilate. I’ll admit that in my efforts to be obedient, I went a little overboard and began to focus too much on outward obedience instead of inward heart change. But the Lord [...]

Christology for kindergarteners

June 5, 2012 Intentional Motherhood

by Gloria Furman The other day I caught my 5-year-old coloring belly buttons onto the midriffs of characters in her children’s Bible. One of the illustrations in her children’s Bible depicted a belly button-less Jesus, which she aptly amended with a green marker. “I fixed it! God’s Son has a belly button forever!” My jaw [...]

“Fruit stapling” with your kids

April 30, 2012 Intentional Motherhood

by Gloria Furman Ever since Priya Samuel wrote this article I’ve been inspired to look for creative ways to talk with my kids about the nature of obedience. When I’m knee-deep in my children’s struggles with sin then I tend to just want perfect little robots. In those moments I could care less whether or [...]
