I’m excited to welcome Cheri Swalwell to the blog today. Cheri is the author of two devotionals “A Forty Day Habit Between Friends, Because They Need You” and “A Forty Day Habit Between Friends, Taking it to the Next Level” which are available now.
Does parenting come naturally to you, or did you feel like a fish out of water the first time your little one was placed in your arms? Maybe you’re gifted with handling the baby/toddler stage, but the preteen years and beyond send you into a full-blown anxiety attack. Do you have one child whose compliant, another out of control, and a third or fourth somewhere in the middle?
I believe children are a gift from God, but I also think parenting is one of the hardest jobs a person is blessed to have. Every day presents different challenges and if you have more than one child, sometimes multiple times a day you are called on to have insight you just don’t feel equipped to dish out. I’m so glad I’m a follower of Christ, because without His wisdom, this parenting journey would be much more difficult than it already is.
This devotional was created from a blog I started over a year ago. Each topic is short and to the point and speaks from a godly perspective about specific challenges you may or may not face during your parenting years. They’re perfect for when you want to connect with God at any time of day and small enough to fit in your purse or briefcase. They’re a great gift to give to an unsaved or seeking relative or friend as it’s just me talking, friend to friend, sharing from my heart. They are the same conversations I would have with you over a cup of a coffee, during a play date, or sitting alongside you on the bleachers.
It has been said that it takes approximately forty days to create a habit. That is why this devotional has forty messages, just the right amount to get you started on a healthy habit of connecting with God. It’s small and compact, but full of morsels to get you thinking about your own relationship with God.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Can’t wait to connect with you.
