While most moms have it together and have taken cute, hip, and even beautiful pictures of their kids’ first day of school, this mom didn’t. My bad.
Intentionally Living It Out…As You Go.
I’ve been writing on making a game plan so that you are absolutely intentional to invest in the spiritual training of your family this school year (and the whole year, really).
