From energy and injury to surviving middle school, moms are asking questions. They want to know about training, role models, overcoming fear, dealing with ADD, how to talk to their teenagers and how to get them to have a conversation. Moms want to know if they have permission to take care of themselves, how to not act shocked, and how to experience God’s grace and joy in being a boy mom. Amy Bloye is on the show today sharing the wisdom she has learned through motherhood Between Ball Games (Leafwood). Join us to feel more equipped to raise the boys in your life into strong men.
Quotes:

“I want my boys to know that God loves them, He will never leave them, they can trust Him, and everything they need is found in Jesus. If we don’t install these values in our children, they will find their significance in lesser things.”
“Pray hard and love big. God is doing a work in the lives of those boys and making them great men.”
“We can’t take the credit if our children turn out well and we can’t take the blame if they don’t. Their story isn’t over yet and neither is ours.”
Eph 3:19 We have to let ourselves be loved by God and then let that love overflow.”
