Re: How do you feel about youth group?

teambabetz — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 12:59:50 -0000

Melissa, I too saw the video and read the comments and it's something that I've been thinking about for a while. Our kids are not yet in the youth group at our church...we start that next year and are looking forward to it. I was a public school kid who invited kids to youth group and saw the Lord bring 2 of my closest friends to salvation. I also see the problems, but I believe, as with anything in parenting the buck stops with me and my husband. And while our kids do attend Sunday School classes for their grade, they also worship corporately with us, or as they call it, "go to big church". We feel strongly about not only having them in there listening and learning how to worship in a corporate setting, but also that we do it as a family. It's definitely an interesting topic and one to consider as our children grow. Have a great weekend.

Ya know Teri Lynne, the 1st time I heard you talk (a promo vidio you did for a church in MS re: a womans conference you did there last year) I remember thinking...'she sound so much like Lisa Welchel'. So funny. But I am also a little green this morning, not only as a fellow 80's spaz... but also as a Christian mom who's been blessed by Lisa's wisdom. Her book "Creative Correction" has been a HUGE help to me with my kids. But this book is something I really need. So I look forward to hearing more from your interview and even if I don't win... I'll be buying the book. :) I'm so excited that you got this opportunity.

Wow Teri Lynne, I'm so humbled. Thank you for your kind words.

Praise Him!!! You've been a busy beaver. :) I'm so glad you've been able to get so much done. I will continue to pray for you as you walk this road. It's so exciting to see God working.

Have a wonderful weekend.

I am praying for you Teri Lynne! I'm excited to see what the Lord is going to do.

10 years ago I was a week away from having my 1st child. I really did think I knew it all. Over the last 10 years I have come to see I know less and less all the time. Humility is the biggest thing God has taught me. If filters into every area of my life. He has taught me much and I still have a life time of learning to do.

Re: Daddys and Daughters

My little (almost 9 yo) got her first...pre - pre bra and was so excited to show her dad. He probably could have lived out his whole life happily having NOT seen or heard about it. :) But I kindof did the sideways talk... "be excited and interested... and then give her a big hug" He knows how important... really critical, at this stage of development, his relationship to the girls is. If they don't get that affection, love and interest at home they WILL look for it elsewhere. It's actually really fun to watch their relationship grow. I've not read Bringing Up Girls. I need to get it. Great post, thanks.

Happy One Year! How exciting. I hope you enjoy the day and I pray God will continue your ministry here at Pleasing to You! Big love and hugs!

I'm humbled and appreciate you so much I can't even say. And as we head into the tween years of mothering daughters together I have a feeling we'll become even closer. :) And someday we WILL sit down and have a cup of coffee together. And I can't wait. Love you very much!

I think God chuckles at me too sometimes...I had NO brothers but have two boys of my own now. Complete with gross humor and the ability to reproduce just about any noise they hear over and over and over and over... I know you understand. There are often calls to my husband asking, "Is that normal or do I need to be worried?" I'm looking forward to the MOB society starting up. A Lot!!!

Hi Teri Lynne, I have been following this series all week. We had some sickness floating through the house so I wasn't able to participate like I would have liked just due to the time involved but I did want to tell you that I have learned a ton. I learned early (4 kids in 4 years) how to say no, but what I'm not good at is planning. So I'm going to start to work on a plan for the summer. You've given me some great guide lines to follow in that process. So thanks. I'm going to also take some time this weekend to go back and re-read the posts and comments to see what else I can learn. I hope you have a great weekend and thanks again for this very encouraging and challenging series!!! Much love, Steph

I love the sound of my washer and dryer...makes it feel like home. And I'm really thankful my air just kicked on b/c it's gonna be a-billion outside today, which reminds me to pray for my sister in FL b/c their air is out. Not fun!

I've really enjoyed this week's posts Teri Lynne, I pray you have a wonderful Mothers Day!

OK, that is so funny. In all fairness Casiday... no one, NO ONE ever gets it right. It's a wierd name. :) I'm so excited. Thank you!

Re: Pressed but not Crushed

Great post Teri Lynne, I will continue to pray for you my friend. As for us, there are some big changes headed our way. We are in a state of waiting...very easy place to feel crushed. But by God's grace He will show us the way and we will not be crushed, but rather give Him the glory for all of it!

Re: {My First Review} French Press Coffee Maker

teambabetz — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 08:05:57 -0000

I love me some coffee. My very favorite is a nice white chocolate mocha. But for at home I don't have a favorite brand...so I'll go with whatever is on sale that week. That pretty much tells you I'm not a "die hard fancy pants coffee girl" but I do love my morning cup o joe. I bought my mom a little single cup french press a few years back and she loves it. Have a great day!

Re: Living Far Away

teambabetz — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 08:06:01 -0000

My parents live about a mile away and I have to say I love it. Not only for the help they give me, and the relationship my kids get to have with them, but if something were to happen to one of them... My husband and I are right here. But I don't live near either of my sisters. That makes me sad. I haven't seen my younger sister in 4 year. I hate it. I'm sorry you don't live closer to your family. I know that's hard... my parents didn't always live this close so I do understand. I hope you get to visit often. And praise God for the internet...seriously, I think about how hard it was for my mom when I was little... She lived in MN and her mom lived in AL... Killen to be exact. :) All they had was the phone.

I can't remember the last place we visited...kindof sad sounding, but when my guy does get time off we like to just stay put and hang out as a family. So I'm ok with it. :) We would like to take our kids to DC someday...probably when they get older... and to TX during the state fair. I think theres a little football game during that time too...Hookem Horns.

What are the little red pins y'all are wearing? Lovely pictures. Looks like it was a fun trip.

Oh Teri Lynne, I would say I'm sorry that you're going through it, but I'm not b/c I know He's doing His work. Not sure if that sounded right...in my head it was nice. Honestly, I feel like I'm re-learning lessons. It stinks b/c these are things I should have a handle on...but don't. Oh, and I've missed you friend. :)

Re: Solitude

This is a great topic and one where recently I really struggle to find balance. (feeling guilty for taking the time vs. knowing I need the time.) I too love the story of Susanna Wesley, what an encouragement...whether you have 8 kids or not. There are days now that we're back in 'toddlerville' where I just don't get the time I need. But I still try to lay my head down at night and still myself and listen...(Ps 4:4) I like the idea you mentioned of sitting in one spot and letting the kids know I'm not to be interrupted...even if it looks like I'm not doing anything. Thanks.
