This week's mom is Michelle Debenport. She lives in Keller, Texas, and is a mom to two busy boys. One is 71/2 and the other is 3. I think you will be blessed with her great insights this week!!
*What are your favorite activities with your children?
Road trips and field trips....we like to GO!!
*What are YOUR personal hobbies?
Talking, blogging, and thrifting
*What have you found to be the most rewarding aspect of mothering?
Watching my children develop a close relationship with God and each other
*What have you found to be the most challenging aspect of mothering?
LAUNDRY!! and disciplining/training a strong-willed child
*What advice would you like to share with other moms?
Give yourself grace...instead of trying to BE the perfect mother, introduce your children to the Perfect Father!
*How do you find time to cultivate your own personal relationship with the Lord?
I pray for wisdom often, pray "breathe prayers" many times during the day, try to listen to God's voice and obey His leading (though I don't always), and I read some amount of scripture daily (but not in a designated quiet time). I used to be much more scheduled and disciplined in this area.....before a husband and children!
*Is there anything else about yourself that you would like to share?
I can feel a stirring deep within to "drop it all" and GO in the name of the Lord (find more here)....My husband and I are praying for God's guidance and direction.
Thank you so much, Michelle!! I really appreciated your advice to "introduce our children to the perfect Father". What a thought provoking statement!!
I hope you'll take some time to get to know Michelle better at her blog, SomeGirls Website. It's a place of friendship, encouragement and "fraddling". I know you'll love her!

I love that you don't show your kids perfection...but you show them the perfect Father! Thanks for that reminder!

Bless you Some Girl!

How fun! I had forgotten today was my day until I read Stacey's tweet! Then I rushed to tidy up the place! ;)
Thanks for your sweet words, Rachel and Stacey! ♥ Michelle
I have trouble with laundry and a strong willed child too...sigh. =)
