God designed you to advance the kingdom through your children–isn’t that fabulous? A few weeks ago, I commissioned all of you mommas to advance the kingdom right in your own homes (read the blog post here, You are Being Commissioned)
Well, today, in the middle of your crumb-covered floor and next to your waiting-to-be-folded laundry, I am inviting you to make a declaration.
During our series at church, Life’s Work, Pastor Sam also gave us declaration cards, and asked us to read it aloud each day before entering our workplace. Well, aside from teaching at Northpoint Bible College, one day a week, I wake up in my workplace–ready or not.
So, mommas, I have re-written the declaration for you to speak over your home. It doesn’t matter if you are a working mom, a stay-at-home mom, or somewhere in the middle.
Will you join me, slip on those slippers each morning and make this daily declaration? I believe God will use it to move in our hearts and our homes.
I DECLARE:
God’s favor & protection over my home.
God’s blessing over my children and husband.
God’s covering over my relationship with my husband.
That this will be a place of joy, peace, and unity.
Health and endurance in times of sickness for my people.
That I will walk through this messy home with a purposed heart.
I am raising children who will run after God’s heart.
That I will set the tone & help my home value what God values.
In this home we will not find our worth in what we accomplish but in what God has accomplished on our behalf.
