About Us
“The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.” Psalm 92:12
Welcome to Generation Cedar!
Every generation is known and named for something…we’ve got the “Baby Boomer” generation, Generation X, Y and Z.
Generation Cedar is named so because we desire to encourage families to raise the next generation for the glory of God–firmly planted and flourishing “like a cedar in Lebanon”.
We’re so glad you dropped in on our family-run website and business!
We are a very normal family with ups and downs, tears and laughter. Some days are wonderful, others, not so much. But we are sincerely striving to chase after God and allow Him to guide everything we do.
Kelly, a.k.a. “Word Warrior” writes for the blog, and has a passion for inspiring and encouraging women to build godly homes.
Satan is seeking whom he may destroy, but we believe the Lord wants to raise up strong families in the face of discouraging times…families who will bring Him glory and be a part of rebuilding our Christian heritage.
Our prayer is that you will find a refuge here; we have a strong community of like-minded friends and we would love for you to join us!
Our resources include:
Ebooks for equipping the family

Oh my! I somehow found one of your videos on YouTube, and after watching every other one, found my way here! You are amazingly beautiful, and I am reading this site as if it were clean air – I can’t take in enough fast enough! I didn’t know there was someone who believes as I do about so many important life issues. I feel so validated, and so unalone! I just had my 6th child, and I immediately saw a few our amusing similiarities. I have 5 girls & 1 boy now, and my 8 yr old’s name is Brynna, and my Ellie is 3. I thank you for sharing so much of yourself and family. The encouragement I have already found in you is beyond words. Thank you, thank you!
what a beautiful family and what a blessing this site is. looking forward to the study.
Kelly,
It was a pleasure to meet you and your family last week at the beach. My boys are still talking about Ashton. Just wanted to say that you have a lovely family and are truly blessed. Enjoying your blog too.

Danielle,
Oh, the same here! Wish we had had more time to talk…Ashton also really enjoyed the “nice boys that didn’t use crude language” LOL!
[...] Kelly von Generation Cedar hat einen schönen Artikel auf ihrem Blog veröffentlicht – mit einem Gedicht, das Wort für Wort wahr ist (Mütter wissen das, vor allem Mütter von mehreren Kindern). Meine Übersetzung ist nicht wirklich gut, sie gibt nur den Sinn, so gut ich es hinbekommen habe, wieder. Kein Rhythmus, kein Reim – wer Englisch kann, liest es besser bei Kelly. [...]
Kelly,
A friend of mine recommended your blog to me a few months ago and I am so glad she did! The gift that God has given you in your writing and in your wisdom blesses, encourages, and convicts me. I pass along your blog every chance I get; I believe the things you write here are like water to a parched tongue. I thank the Lord for you and what He is doing through you.
Warmly,
Jocelyn
Thank you, Jocelyn!!
Has the baby arrived yet?
No, Flicka, he has not. Patience wearing thin
I just came across your website and can’t express how appreciative I am for you! I am a school counselor at a primary school of over 750 students. I gave my heart to the Lord at the tender age of seven and now God has placed me right in the middle of over 200 seven-year-olds. As you well know, the need is great. The lack of parenting skills is prevelent and the children are suffering for it. Please say a prayer as I attempt to minister in a secular setting (The Great Commission). I will pray that God will bless you and that this site will reach the masses.

Kelly – I have been reading your blog since January and I am so blessed by you!! I was devistated to learn about the tornado tragedy affected your family and your sweet neighbors. Please know I have been praying for all of you. Thank you for sharing your family and your walk with the Lord with all of us. You are a treasure!!
Blessings from Ohio,

What a blessing to find your blog.

Hi there!
I found your blog earlier this afternoon and added it to my Favorites list; it’s so nice to find moms with the same convictions and beliefs as I have

I absolutely love your blog. I love that you speak about the Lord and your family so lovingly. I put you in my blogroll because I want others to find your wonderful site.
Just want to add, my sister and her daughter lived in Joplin and suffered losses in that tornado this year. Shelly and her son were “IN” the tornado. Lisa and Shelly lost their daycare business. The building was wiped clean away, not a shred left on the foundation. They are starting their lives over. The blessing is that God protected Shelly and her son. They weren’t hurt at all and we know it was totally God who saved them.
Karen,
I’m so glad your family was safe! May the Lord bless the rebuilding of their lives.
Hi, I appreciate your website and the encouragement and ideas in it. What state do you live in? We are looking for homeschoolers in the eastern part of NC that are trying to live a committed life pleasing to the Lord. We are looking for like minded people in our area. Do you have any ideas where homeschool families can find eachother, any websites? Thank you, Carmen
I am pleased that I discovered this web blog , exactly the right information that I was searching for! .
hi!,I really like your writing so much! share we keep up a correspondence more about your post on AOL? I need an expert in this area to solve my problem. May be that is you! Taking a look ahead to see you.
This is such an encouragement! You have such a beautiful family, and so many wonderfully Biblical things to say! As a 23-year-old wife and (soon-to-be) mother, I truly have been feeling SO alone in my convictions! My sister has three daughters and intends to homeschool them, but anyone other than my side of the family are so discouraging! I’ve been so concerned to raise children in this society, and it’s amazing to read so many comments of other women who agree with true Biblical Womanhood and education! My husband and I are in the process of adopting through foster care and therefore will likely get school-age children. We still intend to homeschool as soon as legally possible, but have been very fearful until now that I have seen so many encouraging words! THANK YOU!!!!!
Hey there, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, excellent blog!
