Book Review: Secure Daughters, Confident Sons

Secure daughters confident sons was a nice book that gave a lot of insight to why we should raise our sons and daughters differently. I really enjoyed the book. In modern times, people are often offended by these types of statements. I don’t base my life on modern times, though. I base my life on God. God created boys and girls differently. He guides them differently. We are different. I think that is important. I also feel that a man’s role is different in the family than a woman’s role. This was important to me. I want my children to grow to be strong men and women. I am not looking at only today when I am raising my children. I love that this book addresses these things. I was slightly disappointed in the lack of biblical referencing. I would have liked to see more of that. I want to raise my children biblically, not just on a whim. I think this book would have been even more powerful if it would have gone deeper into God’s word. Overall, I liked the book and it had a lot of good insights. This book was provided for me free of charge by Blogging for Books and Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing Group for my personal review. Other than this book, I am receiving no compensation. The views expressed are my own.

Amazing Weekend

I had a wonderful weekend full of love, women, friendship, fellowship and the word of God. I was so happy that my amazing mom, 2 wonderful sisters-in-law, and one of their moms could go with me! It was great to learn more about God's word. It was even more amazing to be reminded of God's covenants. He reminded me that His covenants do not fail, we do. How often I fail Him, and yet He takes me back every time!

It is also amazing that He gives us signs of His covenants.

I have been doing some research on the rainbow, a sign of God's promise to never again flood the Earth, and am so amazed by these wonderful signs. Did you know that a rainbow is actually a full circle? We only see an arc, because the land gets in the way! Amazing! There are other kinds of rainbows too! Here is a fog-bow:

Here is a moon bow:

Finally, here is a sun-dog:

These are all God's amazing ways of reminding us of His promise!

As I was writing this, I got an update!! We have our next court date! June 8 we will be going in for the first of possibly 4 hearings. The termination should be final by the end of July. Then we will finally be onto adoption!!! Yay! God is so great!
