"Nestled in the sprawling neighborhood of Boca Raton, I found myself transported to a lil piece of Parisian heaven. My second experience working with Cleft of the Rock Foundation did not disappoint. Once again spirits were high, decor amazing, the crowd was many, the words impassioned, ideas were exchanged, and fun was limitless. Guest speakers recounting experiences that molded them to a room full of eager ears of all ages and backgrounds. Easy to overlook explorations in the coming of age exploration, especially for young women were discussed within a room of caring minds. Handcrafted treats, homemade juices, raffles with some surprisingly good gifts, and of course flavorful teas were some of the stars of this event. All these things made my role as a photographer effortless. Great people, great connections, and definitely a lively time." -Michael, Myfavves photographer Email: myfavves@gmail.com

Chaos to Calm is an ideal guide for parents navigating the challenges of raising a child. Melissa Roberts shares her personal experiences as a mother that will take you on a journey to explore how to rely on God through the difficulties of parenting. This book explores the practical tools for fostering stronger parent-child relationships and good communication through developing a meaningful relationship with God.
Typically, we tend to blame others or our circumstances when our children misbehave, especially when we feel we have done all we could to raise our children right. However, if we only acknowledge that we do not have to do it alone and allow God to guide us in our parenthood journey, He will give us the most effective tools to raise our children with a greater purpose and for His glory. You will also find how important it is to take responsibility for our actions, surrender ourselves and our children to God, and eventually find peace in a world full of chaos.

Parenting on Purpose
Support Sessions
Cleft of the Rock Foundation, Inc. has officially started our Parenting on Purpose Support Sessions. If you have completed the Parenting on Purpose video series we invite you to participate. We are committed to supporting each family we encounter. We recognize that in these times, as parents, it’s incredibly difficult to plan ahead or fit self-improvement into our already jam-packed schedules. From commutes to our destinations, extra-curricular activities, work and/or overtime, or a million other time-consumers, it can seem impossible to keep your head above water, much less commit to getting somewhere. Even if you will leave that somewhere fulfilled, refreshed, and better equipped to parent deliberately. The good news is, we can schedule time for a Parenting On Purpose Support Session (POPS), led by Brenda Williams, a wise and amazing mother and grandmother who is committed to growing families. Reply to this email to schedule your session today.

Parenting on Purpose Testimonial
A few weeks ago, I enrolled in the Parenting on Purpose (POP) course to learn how to best raise my son so that he consistently chooses to live his life in a way that he remains blameless before Christ and man.
Like the biblical King Solomon in search for what was best for mankind on this earth, I’ve found that the answer is often so simple for our limited and earthly mindset that it becomes extremely sophisticated: POP has taught me that we must live with foresight, allowing our sons to fail now that they may succeed later on; we must forebear, bringing along the challenging child with us so that they can develop self-control and we must not withhold our love from our children when we discipline them.
To continue, our responsibility is to teach our children the right way. We should raise them to live a lifestyle that empowers them to both attract that which is good and maintain it.
Most Importantly, I found that raising my son in the right way also requires me to understand the proper way better because we cannot teach what we do not know.
