Blue Like Play Dough: The Molding of Your Life

We all have expectations for our lives, yet in the stretch and squeeze of every day life and homeschooling, we are often “smooshed” by constant demands. We become too busy to seek God, and when we do turn to Him it’s often to ask God for what we want. We forget to listen to Him or pay attention to His molding hands. Tricia will teach you how to realize God is at work in many unexpected ways and how to turn your life, dreams, goals, and desires over to His hands.

You will also learn to relinquish your own expectations and develop a new expectation of what God is doing and will do in your life.
