How to Build a Backyard Obstacle Course

This month’s HomeFront Magazine features two great articles by me!!
Squeeeeeeee!
(I’ll share the first today, and the second tomorrow.)

Building a backyard obstacle course is a Small Thing! One of those Small Things your kids will remember forever. It will cost you ZERO dollars and keep your littles busy for at least an hour! Check out pages 16-17 of HomeFront’s online magazine here for all the details. This month’s highlighted topic is Course Correction. I designed this backyard obstacle course with an awesome activity.
(But you’ll have to click over and read the whole article to read about it!)
There are some pretty rad ideas you’ve never seen before… because they are from my sweet lil’ head!

One of the main aspects of Course Correction is getting to the root of a problem and empowering our children toward spiritual transformation – identifying the motivation for our sin instead of just identifying the sin. Each activity represents choices we have in our lives. We can stumble blindly as we lean on our own understanding, hoping we make the best decision, or we can trust in the LORD to make our pathways straight. Talk about how frustrating it was to go through the obstacle course without instruction and how rewarding it was when your child knew the course and could do it correctly on their own. In the same way, we want our children to make the best decisions on their own, in accordance with the will of God in their lives.
