We had a wonderful conversation about relationships, growing up, and the feelings that often come with it. ❤️
We spoke about crushes and attraction, reminding our boys and girls that these feelings are completely normal and part of growing up. Together we reflected on the importance of focusing on themselves, their friendships, their faith, and their schoolwork during this season of life.
One of the biggest takeaways was that a boyfriend or girlfriend won't fill every longing in our hearts. There is so much value in enjoying your youth, growing into the person God created you to be, and trusting that there will be a right time for everything.
We're so proud of the honesty, maturity, and openness our young people showed during this discussion. 🌱✨

A little glimpse into our hospital visits 💕

Spending time with the moms and their beautiful babies is always such a blessing. The smiles, conversations, and precious moments shared remind us how special these visits truly are.

We also had so much fun painting crosses together – a simple activity filled with creativity, laughter, and hope. ✝️🎨

Thankful for every moment spent encouraging, connecting, and sharing God's love with these incredible families. ❤️

We had a meaningful session with our girls support group as we spoke about the importance of discipline and went through the code of conduct together. It was encouraging to see them engage so well and gain a deeper understanding of how they should treat one another — with love, respect, kindness, and care. These conversations continue to help build stronger character, healthy relationships, and a positive environment for everyone involved.🌺✨️🥰😇

We had an amazing session with the boys and girls discussing the importance of discipline and how self-control helps shape the person they are becoming. We spoke about how self-discipline is like a muscle — the more you practice it daily, the stronger it becomes. Growth does not happen overnight, but through consistent choices, perseverance, and learning to control our actions, attitudes, and responses. Every step of discipline today helps build a stronger and better future tomorrow.✨️💪😇

We had an amazing session on personal hygiene with our boys and girls—learning that taking care of your body is not just about looking good, but about respecting yourself and others. Clean habits build confidence, promote health, and reflect the value we carry within. Small daily choices can make a big difference!🧼🪥😶‍🌫️🤗🥰

Building trust, one conversation at a time🙏🏻🥰
We had a special catch-up with the girls—talking about school, life, and how we can support them where it matters most. It’s powerful to see how they’ve opened up through the relationships we’ve built, and even more encouraging to hear how past sessions have shifted their perspectives. Growth is happening, and we’re grateful to be part of their journey.🙌😍💝

We had a meaningful and impactful session with the boys, focusing on the importance of relationships in our everyday lives. We spoke about how relationships shape who we are, influence our choices, and play a vital role in our growth and well-being. The discussion also highlighted practical ways to build and maintain healthy relationships—through respect, honesty, communication, and accountability. Most importantly, we emphasized that the foundation of all relationships begins with a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, who guides, strengthens, and teaches us how to love others well.🙌🤩❤️‍🩹
