On Parenting

Parenting is the absolute hardest thing I have ever done. I sit here totally stressed over my child - worrying, fretting, completely clueless at how to handle him. I have gone everywhere, books, websites, forums, friends, and still have absolutely no answer. The one place I need to turn is God. He has all the answers.

I know that this is another lesson. He is drawing me closer to Him. He wants me to seek Him. So that is what I will do. I will let the things of this world (people's opinions, the latest trend, the newest gadget) fade away. I will listen to the Perfect Parent who will lead me in my hearts desire to do what's best for my children. 

Its so easy to forget that God's is the one opinion that matters most. Its easy to question ourselves and lose all confidence and security in our abilities in a matter of minutes. When those moments strike I am finding I have to stop, shut up, and hide away from it all. Not to avoid or escape, but to quiet the noise so I can hear the voice that will give me His truth. So that is what I am resolving to do. Today right now I am seeking God and believing that he will answer my cry for help. After all, He gave me these children, so He must have faith in me that I can raise them, with His help of course. I just have to remember to accept it.
