Mom-Daughter Connection Ezine
Issue 33, October 15, 2007©
Hello Everyone!
Well, I don’t know about you, but I have been in dire need of a “break” and that’s just what I had this weekend. Some girlfriends and I had planned to attend the Extraordinary Women’s Conference at First Baptist Church, Jackson, MS for a while, and the weekend finally arrived. On Friday, 4 of my closest friends and I loaded up in one of their SUV’s and headed 100 miles south of where we live to the conference and to an overnight stay in a hotel without kids, husbands or laundry. Can I hear a “Whoo hooo”?? It was a great weekend and gave me the “rejuvenation” and refreshment I sooo needed.
What do you as a mom do for rejuvenation and refreshment? I know we all need it. So, I encourage you as a mom to take some much needed time to yourself. You may not go for an overnight weekend away with the girls like I did, but you can go away to the bathroom to soak in the tub for an hour. It is important, so do it for you today.
Teaching your daughter to take care of herself and her body can easily be started by your setting an example for her. I know that I learned so much from the example of my mother in my life. Be conscious of the example you set for your daughter.

Some Keys to Quiet Time
Quiet time or time alone with God is so important to all of us. I believe that it is how we as Christians grow in Christ. Becoming a Christian should be more to us than just “fire insurance” or a way to stay out of hell. I think it is important to emphasize to our children that being a Christian involves more than just accepting Jesus. It is about forming and growing a “relationship” with God. As a youth/children’s minister, I used this example many times. If you have any relationship, whether it is with a friend, a parent, a boyfriend/girlfriend, how do you get to know that person, through spending time with them right? And if you don’t spend time with them you cannot “get to know them”. The same goes with our relationship with God. We must spend time with Him in order to get to know Him, and there is no way that we will get to know Him if we do not spend time with Him. It is that simple. That is why our quiet time is so important.
The Christian life is a growth process, in order to grow we must spend time reading God’s word, talking to God, listening to God, memorizing Scripture, applying Scripture to our lives, all of these things we can do during our quiet time with God each day. There are some several “keys” to having a quiet time; I would like to briefly share some of them with you.
Keys to Quiet Time:
?Find a special place to have it.
?Bring your Bible, pen, paper and an open mind.
?Set aside a specific time each day.
?Be prepared to hear from God.
This is just the beginning of how to have a quiet time. I would love for you to join Cindy Rushton and I at the Talk-A-Latte chat on Tuesday, May 29, at 1 pm CST where will be discussing quiet times.
