“Our Words for 2012 – a focus on the Future!” (evaluate)
It started a few years ago! At the beginning of that year, Ron and I asked Father for a word with this question: “What is on your mind for the Hagan family for this year?” During our conversations with him, we would listen, attentive to a phrase or a word that he would impress upon our heart and mind. Check out what he said: 2012 – Battle Ready 2011 – Hope 2010 – Harmony 2009 – Chasah The first year we did it, we actually stumbled upon it. Actually, I don’t know if we actually asked for it that year. I just remember Ron beginning to study “trust” and came upon the word “Chasah” in his studies. We ended up...
Read More“A Post Ski Trip Gathering” (God card #30 – Hide and Seek)
We got together with our ski trip group the week after we returned from Breckenridge. We had some great dinner and share together some words for God card #30. I believe God plays hide and seek. The kids chose this card, because they had played many games of hide and seek while on the trip. So, this picture triggered an immediate experience. This is the goal with the God cards. Our kids know the fun of hide and seek, the thrill of finding just the right place and the anticipation of being found! It is a great metaphor for Father. He too waits to found. After dinner, we all sat around the table with some paper and markers. We went around the circle and read each verse on...
Read More“More than a Conqueror . . . in study hall” – (sing)
We have been singing from the new Seeds CD – Seeds of Character this week. “More Than a Conqueror” is a family favorite, a combination of the catchy tune but mainly the fun dance moves they learned at a Seeds Family Worship Night. ANYWAYS, Romans 8:37 is top of mind in our home. That is the beauty of the Sing tool. The kids begin singing the verse; the verse gets planted in their heart. A situation comes and the verse jumps in the middle of the situation arming my child with strength or a solution. This is the power of God’s word as he intends. This is the way scripture memory works. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching,...
Read More“Our Ski Trip to Breck” (God cards #13, 16, and 17)
The Hagan family adventured to Breckenridge, Colorade this first week of January to ski and study with some family friends of ours. The intent – ski like crazy by day and experience the God cards together by night. We were together with 3 other families that had never heard of the God cards. So, it was an incredible time to share this part of the Plan with them and converse together on this great topic of Father God. Night 1 at Glen Eyrie Castle in Colorado Springs (amazing!) – We began with our story, the story of The Whole Peach and our prayer for the week – encounter the person of God as he explains himself in his word, and oh yeah, ski like crazy!...
