Praying For Boys - WIN IT WEDNESDAY GIVEAWAY

I found this on my bed today.He sheepishly walked in and placed it down ever so sweetly, smiled, and walked out again.And when I opened it, I sigh because with all the things I do wrong in my mothering, all the messes I make...once in a while God gives me a glimpse into the souls that He is shaping.And I am overcome that He allows me to be used at all.You see, we are not alone in this mothering thing.  We don't have to try to figure it out by ourselves.  We have a God who not only wants to join us, but He sent his son to die for the chance of taking our hand and allowing us to join Him in his glory filled work called life. And when Jesus rose again, He made it possible to be with Him for eternity!God loves our children even more than we love them!  But He allows us to be used in their lives. One way that us mamas can join God in the work of shaping hearts is to pray for our sons and our daughters!Today we are doing our monthly WIN IT WEDNESDAY a little bit early because I cannot wait for next week! And I wanted to join up with my sweet friend Holley because the theme for her link up today was that we are not alone! Today, one special winner will receive the newly released Praying for Boys book by Brooke McGlothlin!This book is amazing and I have been blessed to be able to be on the Praying for Boys Launch Team. Brooke is a warm mama who fills the room with her humor, her honesty, and her humility (I told you I love alliteration!).So Brooke and her amazing publishers (Bethany House) are giving one book away here in my little space on the web!  How cool is that?! Friends, this book is filled with the questions that spur us on to be better parents:How do you define love?In your parenting thus far, have you focused more on your son's accomplishments and life experiences or on teaching him a godly worldview?Do you have a plan for teaching your son obedience?But... it does not just leave us with questions, but gives us specific prayers for every character trait that we desire in our sons:purityintegritywisdompride. . . just to name a few.This book has prayers using God's word to fight for our sons, to comfort our sons, to bring wisdom to our sons, because all that good stuff is not going to come from us without a whole lot of filling from the Lord!Now since this is our special WIN IT WEDNESDAY, I am throwing in a $10 Starbucks card so you and your son (or daughter) can go on a date.  Use this time to connect and to even pray together!Just tell me in the comments a special way that you connect to your son or daughter or something that you need prayer for today.  We are not alone and I would consider it a gift to pray for you.
