Last night Kevin and I finally started reading the book Shepherding a Child's Heart. For this week I've decided to memorize the key verse of the entire book:Proverb 4:23
Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life.

Above all else, guard your heart,

Great verse, Sarah! I will get to this a.s.a.p. I need this verse this week! Love and Prayers, Julie
A friend just returned my copy of SaC'sH. I'm in the process of reading Grace Based Parenting (Tim Kimmel) so it's back on the shelf for awhile.
I'm due Feb 10th so we are just a week apart. Allison was about 1/2 a week early so we'll see how this one goes.
