In a world that can seem hopeless, kids need a reason to hope. In addition to teaching our children how to get into college, play sports and chase the American Dream, there is something greater to be learned. He created the universe with stars and planets, yet the desire of His heart was to reconcile with people whom He loved. In this devotional, the author shares ideas of how to help your children have a personal relationship with God.

to whatever God called you to. Be all in even if you don’t believe Him for it.
This month I am reading Becoming by Michelle Obama. I am struck by her determination to do things. I love the story about how she fought with her great aunt over piano lessons. Be so fired up for your cause that you are at the recital sitting on the piano bench in front of the audience before you realize you don’t know where middle C is.
As the BSF teaching leader reminded us last week, remember it is not about the achievement, it is about the journey. Be true to the journey.
The other book I read this month was Frederick Douglass Prophet of Freedom. He was another so determined in his cause that the journey was fascinating. He took the initiative to learn to read and write even though it was illegal. He didn’t want to miss anything.
That is the way we need to be. Be true to your journey.

When You Know Better You Do Better
Food is a lot of things to me. On this journey, I am learning something new. One of my favorite foods is tacos and I always fool around with the recipe to make them better. I have learned to make meatless tacos and love them. Not only that, my body loves them.
Here is the recipe.
I use Gardein Beefless Ground.
I brown it in a pan (because I southern I use bacon grease, but you really don’t need any oil to brown this)
Once it is brown, I let it sit on a paper towel to absorb the oil. I mix taco seasoning and water in the pan.
Then I pour meatless ground into the mixture. At this point, I also add fresh pico de gallo.
I let it simmer about 15 minutes so the flavors can mix. I warm tortillas in the oven.
Once the mixture is ready, I add it to the tortilla along with cheese and salsa. I enjoy this more than I imagined I would. And the thing that sold me was that I did not have heartburn like beef sometimes gives me. All of the pleasure and none of the pain.
