Today we are marking off 'worship' on our #biblebingo by playing through the story of Gideon. Gideon may seem like a strange story for discussing worship. I mean wouldn't a Psalm, or a verse about dancing and music be more appropriate? . .... But when I think about worship, I think about warfare. Because when we are worshipping we are declaring that our God is bigger than our circumstances. We are declaring his omnipotence over every force of nature, both physical and spiritual. It is not denying what's going on, but it is lifting our eyes to the one one who is in control. And that is the essence or spiritual warfare. And that is exactly what happened in the story of Gideon. . .... God winnowed down Gideon's army until he only had 300 men. God didn't even send them out with swords! He sent them out with clay pots and trumpets to make some noise. And you know what? Gideon won! God is glorified in the impossible. He is glorified in our weaknesses. When the battle is too large, we're too small, and we really have no idea what we are doing, that is when God seizes the opportunity to show is power in our lives. . ..... Today we watched the Veggie Tales version of story: Gideon Tuba Warrior, and then made our own noise. We made a pots and pans "drum circle" and had a tiny worship session in our living room. . . ❤Remember to tag your Bible Play ideas with #kidsplaytruth and for more inspiration, follow the rest of the team: @kidsfaithcheerleader @babydevotions @createdtoplay @theplayfulbible @thepreschoolworkshop @steadfastfamily @everydaybabyplay @eatprayplayallday @raisingprayerfulkids @kidzone.fcc @thelittlesandme . . . . . . . #godlyplay #kidsdiscipleship #babydevos #Christianpreschool

Alot of people have been asking me for Storybook Bible recommendations lately, so when the opportunity arose to participate in the @multiculturalkidblogs Read Around the World Series, I had to tell you all about my favorite! Swipe to see 😘 . .... 'The Children of God Storybook Bible' by Archbishop Desmond Tutu is a beautiful collaboration of illustrators from around the world retelling the stories for small children. If you are looking for a Storybook Bible, definitely check this one out. You can find my full review on the blog, along with links to purchase in both English AND Spanish!

Oh hey! There are so many new faces around here, I'm doing that #fridayintroductions thing 😂❤. I'm Kayla (the mama in the picture). That's my husband, Fabian. And these are our two girls, Vale and Naomi. I have yet to figure out how to get them to not look grumpy in family photos 🤷‍♀️ (if you have tips, send them my way!) . ..... And here are some random things you otherwise might not know about me: . 1️⃣ I love coffee (what #toddlermom doesn't?) And I drink it black ☕. 2️⃣ I'm a t-shirt and jeans girl. It's a classic, and perfect for #toddlerwrangling 3️⃣I for sure prefer sweet over salty (or really any other taste). My favorite sweet right now is the guayaba-filled conchas from @dulceriabakery 😋❤they're delicious and if you're local you need to try them! . .... Now what about you? Anything we're the same on? How do you drink your coffee? Let me know below👇.

Today we are marking off "King" on our #biblebingo , because this story does have a king even though it is more about a Queen. We are learning about Esther. I planned a "Princess Tea Party" for the girls (check my stories to see what they chose to wear 😘👆). And as we read from our "Children of God Storybook Bible" the prayer at the end hit me: . ..... "Dear God, help me to protect my community." . For some of us, this prayer seems so distant. We could never imagine a situation where we or our children would actually NEED to protect our communities. However for many of us, this is a very real, daily prayer. And sometimes the reality isn't that there is no need. Reality is that we are privileged enough that the need does not effect us. . ..... Today, friends I am praying that my girls would be raised up as Esthers. That they would recognize their position and privilege in their communities, and do what they can to make things right. I pray that for my girls. I pray that for all our children. And I'm praying that for us mamas. . ..... Dear God, help us to protect our communities. . . .

It's #worldlovewednesday and this month we have been learning about and praying for the Native American Nations of North America. I wanted to share our #learningshelf for the month. It features some our favorite books by Native American Authors, a few elements for some #bookishplay with the stories, and 'Aaniin' which is 'Hello' in the Anishinaabemowin language . I'll be sharing more specifics up in my stories 👆. . .... I like to use this space to introduce my little ones to new voices and perspectives. When learning about cultures with little ones, it is so important to find books and stories by people that are actually from that culture. Not just stories about that culture from an outside perspective, or featuring characters from that culture, but neither the author nor illustrator is from that culture (this is more common than many of us would like to believe😬). Listening AND learning from voices that are different from our own is such an important skill, and books is one way that we can start building this skills with little ones. And when the month is over, we don't just leave these books. They become favorites that we check out from the library regularly (some joining our home collection when we find them in Spanish), and we continue to look for new books from these authors. . ..... ❤What books are your kids loving right now? You can find a list of our Favorite Books for Preschoolers by Native American Authors on the blog. Link in bio. . . . .#worldlovewednesday #onmissionmoms #representationmatters #mkbkids
