October Pinkapalooza!

Our first of two fall mother/daughter retreats is all but a memory now, but most of us in attendance are still smiling at how God shone down brightly upon us this weekend.  He never ceases to amaze! 
The 40 mother/daughter couples had an unbelievable time of fun, relaxation (some more than others), and setting into motion intentional truth and character building.  Moms and daughters came together to learn, grow and listen.  The weather was perfect! Thank you, Lord! Many stepped foot on the Sky Ranch property for the first time, and many were coming home to their favorite country getaway in the world.  
Pink was the name of the game.  Seriously, if you didn't get enough pink, then you weren't seeing properly.  EVERYTHING WAS PINK!  The decorations, the tshirts, the chocolate fountain, the bingo chips, the water bottles! PINKAPALOOZA!!!
We talked about lots of girl stuff including friends, boys, and modesty! There was something for everyone.  The dinner date Saturday night was a night to remember.  Twinkling lights lit our "tables for two" as we asked questions, ate and enjoyed just mommy and girl time...in our matching p.j.'s no less!!! 
We ended our weekend with a special time of blessing and pearls of wisdom from God's word.  We now all know how a pearl is formed.  We'll never look at a pearl the same will we girls?  So, until our retreat in November...enjoy the pics and join us next year if you can!!!

Lisa Life Lesson ~ “How Often Should We Rescue Our Children?”

We had a discussion at our SkyMoms Gathering last week about how often a mom should "rescue her child" from school work being left at home or a lunch box forgotten.  Several ideas were thrown into the mix, but we all landed on the "1 Free Pass" per semester idea.  Each semester, I (mom) will bring up a paper left on the printer, a lunch left in the car, or the project left on the island in the kitchen.  After that, you reap what you sow.  Teaching responsibility to our children is HARD.  Why?  Because we want them to succeed!  And the more help we give them the more their opportunity to succeed, right? NO!!! When we swoop in and save the day we are teaching our children that we are their savior.  We are not.  God is.  When they are left to "reap what they sow" then we are teaching them to rely fully on God.  A "B" versus an "A-" is an easy lesson to learn for a day late grade.  If we let them learn the easy lessons at a young age, they will more quickly learn the hard lessons as they get older.  A responsible child is a child who knows who they are in Christ and leans on Him for understanding, truth and wisdom.  A responsible mom is a mom who let's God work in the life of her child and gets out of the way when He says, "MOVE!"

Tonight is a SkyMom Gathering in Plano, TX!!! Please come!!!

Come to a SkyMom Gathering and get a "taste" of what it is all about!




Let's be in prayer all day for this event tonight.  I am more convinced than ever that opening up homes and fellowship is a HUGE tool God uses to spread the gospel.  The church originated in a home.  Food was served.  Prayers were said and the people had fellowship.  They left encouraged and changed.  This is the goal of SkyMoms!  To God be the glory!  
See you tonight.
Love,
Lisa Clark-SkyMom Parenting Mentor
