Legacy of Faith

I still remember the hard wood floor beneath my knees. With hands clasped tightly and eyes closed, I followed my mom’s words in prayer and asked Jesus to come into my heart.

That day my mom helped give me the most important gift any parent could, faith and trust in Jesus.

Since that life-changing moment 23 years ago, my mom has continued to invest in my faith. With prayers, notes of encouragement, words of wisdom, and a model of godly womanhood, she helped prepare me for both good times and hard times when the enemy attacks. Her faith legacy helped me continue on in confidence through dark hours when dreams were broken and I couldn't see the road in front of me. In those instances, my trust in God gave me victory and strength.

“Every child of God can defeat the world, and our faith is what gives us this victory.” 1 John 5:4 (CEV)

In Kids Boost this weekend our preschoolers will be learning about putting on their own shield of faith. How great for our little ones to know now how to protect themselves against the enemy and have confidence in God's love for them!

“In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;” Ephesians 6:16 (ESV)

Every night I pray that my own son would grow to know and love Jesus as his Savior and that until he has his own faith, that God would guard and keep him.

Thank you for leaving your own faith legacy in HD Children’s Ministry!

And thank you, mom! Happy Mother's Day!
