Welcome Friends
Being a parent or caretaker is a joy, and a challenge. Often we are "finding" ourselves and growing in our own faith as we learn to raise up our babies in the way of the Lord. Raising faithful kids takes intentionality. This space is dedicated to providing support and resources rooted in a Christian perspective.
Why Tender Shoots?
Like tending to a garden, raising up children takes patience and a willingness to plant seeds, water, prune, and trust. As our Heavenly Father shepherds our own hearts over the course of a lifetime, so must we be willing to sacrifice and grace the process in our parenting. Thinking generationally can sometimes be a challenge in the mundane of the day-to-day, but I encourage you, my friend, that to live a life of intentionality is to live to our greatest potential.
The Mission
Blessings to you, dear one. YOU are the parent/guardian God created for your child(ren) and you have all you need in Him to raise them to be who He made them to be! Here you will find words of inspiration, resources for you and your little one(s), and even a children's bible study, all rooted in faith and a commitment to Christian parenting. Check out our parenting blogs and free printables for growing in His Word together.
I Believe
I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that those who love and trust Him will have eternal life. I believe that we are called and designed for relationship with other believers—that we are stronger together! And, I believe more than anything, that our children are our inheritance, and we are called and appointed to shepherd their minds and guide their hearts to the feet of Jesus.
There is no greater gift than that of His trust in us to steward the next generation.
