This week, we expand on what we've been covering the last few weeks by talking about how precious our time really is. How are we spending our time? What are we modeling to our children? Are we being a good steward of the short time that is our children's childhoods?

This week, we start by clearing up some things about the episode last week. Then, we dive into a conversations about our thoughts on viewing children as an "expense." Y'all know by now that the way that we talk and the words that we say, matters. We want to be very intentional about the messages that our children are receiving. Do they know that they're a blessing? Or do they feel like a burden? Our words have the power to bless or curse these children that we've been entrusted with. We want to make sure that we're seeing our children the way that God sees our children.

This week, we open up the conversation about something that seems like the world is very confused about -- what our role is as a woman. Since there's so many mixed messages out there, we try our very best to get back to the basics of who God says that we are. There's nothing prescriptive in this episode. We know that God makes all of us unique. There truly is freedom within the boundaries in which we are called and created for. We feel the wide spread discontentment for women (and men) in society today. So what do we do about it?

This week, we continue our "labels" conversation with talking about getting rid of a scarcity mindset. We talk about how the gospel isn't one of prosperity or poverty. We talk about getting to a place of surrender and only wanting what God wants for our lives.

This week, we continue talking about the labels we claim over our lives. This topic is a big one -- BEING BUSY. Are we busy, or are we running? Are we busy, or are we chasing? Are we busy, or are we making idols out of the things of this world. We have to realize that we are to work FROM rest. There are seasons for everything, of course. We weren't made to be going a million miles an hour 24/7. Take a look at the pace of Jesus. If we are called to be Christ-like, we have to be willing to set our pace apart from the world. We don't have to worry. We don't have to hurry. God gives us the grace and strength to do all things that HE has called us to.

This week, we open up a discussion about labels, performance based measurements, and the dangers of how quickly these things become attached to our identity. Our passion comes from a place of love and wanting everyone to know that words, labels, titles, diagnoses, etc. can describe a part of us AND it's still not WHO WE ARE.

This week, we continue our talk from last week and share some vulnerable realizations we've had about making motherhood an idol. God relentlessly pursues us and changes our hearts to get our priorities in check when we need the reminder.

This week, we talk about some things that God has revealed to us throughout this week. As we continue talking about all of these things that we're so passion about, we just want to check our hearts and make sure we're not making an idol out anything. "Good" things can unintentionally become idols in our lives. What we do on this earth absolutely matters AND nothing matters more than the gospel of Jesus, who He is, and who we are because of Him. We want to make sure that we keep the main thing, the main thing -- no matter what.

This week, we share some thoughts and ideas that were sparked from Holy Week. We play an audio message that Karlie sent Olivia on Holy Saturday that started a whole discussion that related to processing the "Friday" to "Sunday" things in this life. We would love to know what you think!

This week, we continue to talk about emotional safety and how we practically handle this within our homes. We discuss how we try to create an environment that helps deal with emotions and life and struggles in a healthy way. How can we do this as a family team? How can we do this in a way that helps our children as they grow into adults? Kids don't need perfect parents, they need humble parents.
