“Battle Ready – our word for 2012” (evaluate)
When it was all said and done, we had over 10 words for 2012! Wow! We believe in a Father God that speaks and our children are learning that he has words to speak over them and our family. Carson: cornerstone, compassion, refuge, and righteousness Ada: joy, happiness, noble, love and courageous Maya: promise, something better Karla: now Ron: know me How do we choose? So, on this church day, everyone chose one of their words and did some exploring in their Bible for what Father had to say about that word. Second, we went to the Word to listen. Each child picked up his/her Bible, knew there was something called a concordance and found their word and a corresponding verse....

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.

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.

Read More“A Torn Up Bible!” (study)
a note from my journal. . . Carson was in the living room swiffering in order to get his Dove chocolate. That was the deal he made with Ron. So, anyways, we were still at the kitchen table from dinner, and Carson is talking to us from the living room. All kinds of words – then he says – “hey, Mom, I talked about you on Sunday. My teacher in class was talking about her Bible being torn up and stuff. So, I raised my hand and told her that my mom says a messed up Bible is good. That means you are using it.” What a gift! I just love it. A great story of Carson catching the story and then sharing it. Thanks, Father, for that gift tonight.
