About Me and this Blog
Psalm 17:15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
I Samuel 12:23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
My name is Michelle Brock. I am wife to Lee and mother to David, Bethel and Laurel. While my training includes English and special education, my occupation is that of Wife and Mother. This blog is an attempt to catalog my struggles, growth, and learning in the process of teaching my children about God. I will not share my cheese bread recipe with you here. I am not simply sharing random thoughts each day or humorous stories of my children in hopes someone else will find them terribly interesting. My greatest desire as a mother is for my children to walk in the Truth of God’s Word, to know God, to love and glorify Him. It is this journey that I share here.
I grew up in a godly home, as did my husband. We currently attend a Baptist church in New Mexico, where my husband is stationed as a physician in the US Air Force. We are excited to be an active part of a local body of Christ with a desire to be thoroughly biblical in doctrine and practice.
If you would like to comment, I’d love for you to share how you’ve handled a similar situation, any additional Scriptures that would bear on the situation, or questions and concerns you may be thinking of. There’s no club you have to join to comment here, even if you disagree with me. I have actually found that disagreement helps me to think through my thoughts and actions better. May God grant me the grace to humbly admit my frailty and graciously share what God has been teaching me and my children.
A few thanks are now in order. My mom has been my role model as a mother since I was little. We talked about childrearing even then! She realized that her instruction was time-released teaching, and she constantly pointed my brother and me back to the Word of God. Her thirst for wisdom has been a continual challenge to me, and I am thankful that God gave her to me. My dad likewise has modeled a hunger and thirst for the Word of God and righteousness. He is the one who took the time to pull out his Bible tools and teach us how to find the answers to our questions about the Bible. I never realized growing up the rare and precious heritage they gave as they sought to give the biblical “whys” for our lives.
I am also thankful to my husband Lee who has supplied the technological expertise for this blog. As well, most of what you see written here is a result of many delightful conversations we’ve had. I am thankful for his leadership in my life and in the lives of our children.
Eventually I’d also like to categorize the entries by the ages of my children, because it is not always apparent from the entry. In the meantime, you can figure out their ages with their birthdates and the entry date.
David: June 2003
Bethel: December 2004
Laurel: October 2006
