“All teenagers cuss. It’s just what they do!”

“That’s not true! Micah, Ezra, and Caleb don’t cuss!”

One of the students at the school where I teach told me about the conversation above regarding our boys a few weeks ago. I teach at a small Christian school that provides home, school, and therapy to kids at-risk. It’s the perfect opportunity for our boys to be a light and witness to their classmates. But it isn’t just “not cussing” that sets them apart. It’s their daily character that shines through.

When my husband, Tom, was a teenager a classmate in his English class leaned over and asked, “Hey Tom, want to go to youth group with me?” Tom wasn’t opposed to Christianity; he just didn’t know much about it. So he started attending youth group, and as a result eventually placed his faith in Jesus Christ.

This past weekend, our son, Caleb, invited his classmate, “C” to a youth group activity. During the night game activity, “C” opened up to my son about his desire to learn more about the Christian faith. They spent about an hour talking about what it means to follow Christ.

I was reading the beginning of the book of Mark yesterday where John the Baptist is introduced. John wore strange clothing, ate strange foods and preached in the wilderness drawing many people out to hear his preaching. John’s role was to prepare the way by proclaiming the repentance of sin and point people towards someone who was coming after him that was greater. John preached with humility. “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.” The Lord used John the Baptist to prepare the people for a coming relationship with Jesus Christ.

May the Lord use us and our children as vessels to proclaim truth and prepare people for a relationship with Christ. Let us never point to ourselves but always to Jesus!

Are you kiddos going back to school this week? I loved seeing all of the back to school pics on social media last week! Praying for your kids as they are the salt and light of Jesus in their schools!

Well...it is finished...Micah is moved into K Stat

Well...it is finished...Micah is moved into K State.....and he looks just like he belongs there and has been there forever. It's too far away for his mama, but He's going to be just fine. He's going to thrive! I'm not sure he will ever need to come home since the cafeteria is phenomenal. Spent a few minutes praying for him. Mom (me) prayed for when he'd meet his future wife there. (Chuckles) One boy prayed he wouldn't lose his Christian faith. (more chuckles) And dad cried. I'm vowing to wear purple the rest of the week. Repping the wildcats. Last time we left him at a university dorm in 8th grade for an engineering camp, I snuck back in to spy and see how he was doing. He'd already joined a group around the ping ping table and I knew he'd be fine. I couldn't sneak back in this time, but I don't need to. He's going have an awesome experience! Just don't fall in love with Kansas, Micah. It's too far away. 😃👨‍👩‍👦 @micah.graney @tomgraney #onehappyhouse
