Hello, My name is Ester. I absolutley adore Jesus! He is the center of my life. I am nothing without him. He has allowed a dream of mine to come true. I've always wanted a little boutique. I've been praying for the right time, the time is now! I am the mother of 3. I love my children, they keep life so exciting. I homeschool and I have one in traditional school. I love to craft, it could be a full time job. I love it that much. I like sewing, baking, bow- making, and all things family!

Showing my Children Jesus

Recently I've been praying about my children.  I want to make sure that I am giving them a firm foundation in the Lord.  I want to make sure that I equip them with God's word.  I want to make sure that I am showing them Jesus!! Today I planned to go to our local christian bookstore after church.  I wanted to look for a family devotional.  (I'll get back to that)  Today we visited a church for the first time.  The kids loved it, when I picked them up from class both the teachers commented on how well my children knew The Word.  The 4th grader's teacher really wanted my secret, I don't have one. She couldn't believe how well my daughter knew the topic.  Ok, God knows just what we need.  I needed the confirmation that I am on the right track.  Of course there is room for improvement.  I have to make sure that our time in The Word is not lost in distractions of the day.  I must resolve to continue to discipline and encourage with the Word.  I must show them that God is the foundation of our lives and that without him I am nothing.  I want my children to see me living out my salvation in everything I do.  I will miss the mark, I will need mercy and grace, I will be at his feet crying out.  They will see Him pick me up, Him extend mercy and grace and Him wiping the tears. 
I have included links to resources that I use or plan to use with my children ages 5,9 and 11.
