Do any other moms (and dads, not to disregard you from the blogging community) get scared some days that your kids are going to grow up wild and unruly?
What started as a good wake up call for me has turned into a slow growing fear that I might miss some key parenting strategies in raising my boys. If I just knew what those strategies were. I want to find the happy medium between being at the top of my game, a no nonsense mom, and loving them and understanding when they don't understand.
My first instinct is to grab a book read it front to back and start enforcing it tomorrow. While, I very well may need a little expert advice and that might be in my near future, I don't know why my first thought isn't to go to Christ. I learn so much about parenting while I spend time with him and hasn't he given me "everything I for life and godliness"?
Some times all you need is a good pep talk... from yourself.
"Krista, get in your word and ask God for what you need."
There, now listen to yourself.
Yep, need to give myself a hand smack every now and then.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I am very proud of us for blogging more, yea for us.
On one more note, I am beyond pumped about Saturday and our mom's morning out!
Further...you better comment on my new post. I hate looking at that 0 comments at the bottom of the page...and you may be the only one who reads it, seriously, I don't even think Scott does.
Love you bob!
Just more thing, Adeline has been crying it out for the last hour. I am glad I have your words to read at such a time as this, 2:20 am.
How precious are you, dreamer??? I just wanted you to know that I have talked to 2 other moms just yesterday that feel exactly the same fears that you do! I love how you just gave yourself the answer right there in the midst of your fears, though. And I just know He is going to love that and bless that! Will be praying for you, dream, in this! Cant imagine how hard it must be to be a parent, but you're a great one and most of all one that loves and submits to Him, so as you said, you truly have nothing ot worry about! Love you and appreciated hearing your heart today!!!
