Renee Swope at D6 Conference
Renee Swope is Executive Director of Proverbs 31 Ministries. Here some quotes from her:
Look for nuggets of gold buried in your children's hearts.
She says during a difficult time in her own parenting, "I had lost sight of their hearts and instead focused on behavior or actions.
First thing we must understand as a parent is who we are in Christ.
We need to parent from the overflow of our hearts.
The best time saver is spending time with God.
The enemy's tactic for moms is to get them to focus on their flaws.
In family devotions, we need to learn from God's Word and Live Out God's Word.
God meets us in our mess and speaks His message.

3 Things Every Mom Needs to Know:
- You are not alone.
- God has a plan and purpose for you as a parent.
- God sees beyond who you are to who you are becoming.
God is doing a new thing in our churches and families. See Isaiah 43:18
When we build strong families, we will have strong churches who strengthen their communities.
Hi JL,
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I were googling about spending time with God and found a link to your blog where you had shard quotes from my message (and others') at D6. A God thing for sure to find you here! I wanted to say hello and thank you for sharing all that God poured into you with others through your blog.
What an honor to have shared this time at D6 with such an incredible gathering of pastors and leaders of God's church!
Blessings,
Renee
