Ep 100- A Word Fitly Spoken with Lauren Corley

"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear." Proverbs 25:11-12   Lauren Corley joins me in this episode to discuss how we, as mothers, can take advantage of teachable moments and use our words to teach all that is true, good and godly. She says, "Often our children's hearts are open to receive wisdom and instruction...but, my mind is busy and focused on the many tasks before me, easily missing the open door." God has been teaching Lauren to focus her attention towards intentional instruction. She shares some practical advice on what this looks like on a daily basis in her home as she raises her young sons for the Lord.These are a few of the practical things she implements. . .*correcting wrong attitudes and guiding behavior patiently + frequently, not simply because I am *finally* frustrated.*creating spiritual conversation! “I’m looking at the moon, mama...I like the moon!”“Do you know who made the moon, bud?”“God did!”*having a goal of pointing my boys to Christ in times of joy + struggle, and showing them their need for His saving grace.*Stopping to savor the sweet times. Snuggling them a little longer, getting on their level to play, reading one more story, and pausing my work to patiently answer the 274th toddler question of the day.   Resources: Follow Lauren on Instagram!
