When Parenting Isn’t Pretty

August 22, 2018

Whoever said “Parenting” was a piece of cake or a walk in the park – Was telling a tall tale! They lied!

Being a parent is the most rewarding, stressful, sacrificing, loving caring, heart-wrenching job on the planet!

There are these tiny little humans that you are responsible for teaching, training, guiding, loving and caring for. They will put your patience to the test, push against the rules, test boundaries, exercise their will and often raise their voice in protest to something they don’t like or don’t want to do.

Have you ever had your child walk away from you, slam the door in anger, pout, yell, whine, scream, Oh and the best one yet – tell you to be quiet and leave them alone!!!

Welcome to Parenthood!

Well maybe that is just me and my children – Can you relate?

What I do know is this –  Life with children has it’s challenges and it’s benefits!

Here is what I have learned parenting my two teens

  • they are emotionally sensitive
  • very opinionated
  • extremely vulnerable
  • teens desire independence
  • very needy
  • need guidance, reassurance and praise
  • need support – mentally, emotionally, spiritually, financially
  • need acceptance

Most of all your children need your love and they need to feel loved

As parents here is how we can help:

  • your children need you to hear and listen to them and what they have to say
  • set specific guidelines and parameters
  • trust your children
  • give them a little independence
  • teach them the value of responsibility
  • show them you love them – not just by word only

We are still on this journey and we are still learning along the way. Every day is not perfect, but we are actively learning to love, walk in forgiveness, grant each other grace and live our best lives with our best selves.

Do you have teenagers? Share your parenting stories with us – We would love to feature them!

Entering 2021 with an “Intentional” mindset!


Entering 2021 with an “Intentional” mindset!

Here are a few tips to be more mindful and intentional this year!

This is my word of the year and it is so important to be a good steward over everything we have been entrusted with! (Work in progress!) 😀

So how will you spend your year?

But be ye doers of the word; and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. James 1:22

Hope 

I heard a song that reminded me of all the times I stood in my bathroom praying and crying out to God asking Him to change our situation and bless us with a new house. We looked for a solid 10 years new and old, short sale, foreclosures, for sale by owner, etc. We saw it all. But it wasn’t the right time. Other people’s destiny is tied into yours (another post on that later).

And as I am typing this in my new office, in my new home that I had been believing and praying to God for - for literally almost 20 years!

As tears are running down my face and stinging my eyes, these are tears of thanks and praise and pure gratefulness.

I shared this because I need you to know that there are blessings on the other side. Keep hoping for the future!

I remember where we were and how blessed we are now, by the grace and mercy and favor of God!

If I know anything for sure, it’s that God is a miracle worker and blessing giver! Keep praying, keep trusting! 

That thing you are believing God for - keep believing. Don’t stop now!

Storms come and go, trials and circumstances won’t last always. Even if it takes 20 years to see the manifestation of those prayers - are you willing to wait and go the distance without wavering, without caving in, even when “it looks” like nothing is happening. Will you stay faithful and keep trusting no matter what?

The blessings are on the other side - keep going! I’m rooting for you! Testimony loading...
