2015-2016 SkyMoms Theme!


Jesus, Take The Wheel! (Of this Mini-Van!!!)

Moms, it’s so hard to stay in our lane isn’t it? We get so sidetracked on other things, that it’s hard to keep the main thing the main thing when raising our children.  But when we LET GO AND LET GOD, we relinquish control to the One who SHOULD BE in the driver’s seat!

Our key verse for our SkyMoms Luncheons and gatherings during the 2015-16 year is – 
“FOR I AM THE LORD, YOUR GOD, WHO TAKES HOLD OF YOUR RIGHT HAND (the wheel!!!) AND SAYS TO YOU, DO NOT FEAR; I WILL HELP YOU.  ISAIAH 41:13

Don’t you love it? He will take hold…if we let Him! Remember, God is a gentleman.  He will not bulldoze His way into our lives.  We have to admit we need Him and make room for Him to take the wheel.

Red Light – STOP  
  We must ask ourselves, “Am I ready to stop looking around and comparing my children to every other child out there and accept him for who God created him to be?”

Yellow Light – Slow Down
  We must admit we are not perfect parents and will never be, and know that when we drift into other lanes, it’s okay! We can get back on course!

Green Light – Go!
Go and build a firm foundation for your family, keeping Jesus at the wheel of your life and your families lives.



Can’t wait to see you at one of the SkyMoms Luncheons this year all throughout the D/FW metroplex, and beyond!

OVERNIGHT SUMMER CAMP

Sky Ranch summer camp is a week full of activities and programs specifically designed for each camper's age group. What makes Sky Ranch different from other summer camps? Our intentionality with regard to the camper/counselor relationship. The same group of counselors stay with their campers the whole week of camp, rather than handing them off from counselor to counselor for various activities. This intentional together-time allows for lasting relationships to be built between camper and counselor.
  • Awesome activities
     
  • Spiritual Growth
     
  • Strategically planned curriculum
     
  • Opportunities for developing
    life-long relationships with counselors and friends

SuperMom Snydrome


We finished our SkyMoms Luncheons last week and what a year we had! Lots of luncheons and almost 600 moms attending this year.  Our theme this year was The SuperMom Syndrome.  Here's a picture of moms in Rockwall preparing to take the pledge...

  
I am NOT SUPERMOM.
I am a SUPER MOM but I am not SUPERMOM.
I don’t even like the SUPERMOMS I know.
I know God created me for a relationship with Himself and I will find my identity in who I am in Christ, not who the world says I should be.
I can’t do it all.  And I don’t really want to do it all.
Lord, help me to pray, plan, prepare and pull over.
Because SUPERMOM is a myth.  And I’m the MYTHBUSTER


If you're interested in attending a SkyMoms Luncheon during the 2015-16 school year, watch the blog or facebook page.  We'll list the events in August! Stay tuned. We want to see you there!!!

Sky Moms Retreat 2015... Don't miss it!



SkyMoms Retreat 2015

January 24th and 25th

Van, TX



Do the words builder, watchman, toiling, warrior, and sleep ever enter your mind in this labor of love called parenting?


Have you ever thought about your children being a heritage, a reward, an arrow, or a blessing?  

Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat-- for he grants sleep to those he loves. Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate. Psalm 127

No matter if your quiver has one child or ten, you need to know that your labor is not in vain!  



Plan to attend this retreat and be encouraged as we look to the Lord to be the primary builder of our homes. It is possible to have PURE JOY in the building process!

REGISTER NOW!
