I parent like Jacob.

I am not a very good parent. I want to be. This is a struggle that I never thought that I would deal with. The love that I have for my boys is indubitably the most original and stong connection that I don't have words to describe. I want to love them perfectly. I have a desire for our every engagement to be a lesson learned, or a conversation that is assorted with humor, edification, love, and inspiration that leaves my boys with development towards the Holy Spirit and an understanding of mine and God's love for them that allows them to grow into young men who do powerful things for Jesus. Unfortunately, I am a disaster. If I were to list stories about the times that I have failed to do what I aspire to be as a parent, we could possibly have a situation where not only I were a laughing stock, but that if I were God, I would consider finding a way to choose a new mother for these kids. In fact, my sin seems to be only magnified as I reflect upon my parenting skills. Thankfully, ...

Baby Lala: week 12

The Lord has been pressing on my heart to relinquish him something that I have carefully monitored in my past two pregnancies. And it's not easy. I have lists that document the pounds that I gained in each pregnancy. It consumed me in the past; how quickly I gained weight. And no one wants to gain 10 pounds in 5 weeks like I did this pregnancy. In addition to the "all day" sickness I have felt, coupled with the fatigue, I have been consumed with how quickly have had to switch to maternity clothes with this third one. I remember also being consumed with what I weighed with the other two..and I don't want to be consumed with such a silly thing...it's been hard to enjoy my pregnancy feeling huge. And there were many times in the past pregnancies that also didn't enjoy parts because I was unhappy with how I looked. This has been pressing on my heart. I have been considering the fact that it's my last pregnancy. And that I want to enjoy it. And slowly this ...

4 kids

It was my first year in college. I was so proud to hold my course handbook, and choose the classes that I wanted. I was so fortunate to have my mom pay for my classes, and to live under her roof, so I didn't completely understand the stress of paying tuition and rent somewhere. However, I was a waitress 4 nights a week to pay for my car, insurance, registration, and any extra activities that I would want to participate in. I also used the money to go on vacations, and to buy clothes. I made it a habit during that time to work out 5 days a week, and when I did not study, go to class, waitress, or have social activities, I worked as an AVID tutor 3 days a week at a middle school. My second year of college, I added to my list of activities a youth group volunteer. My responsibilities on leadership  included leadership meetings, planning for and leading bible studies, going to church weekly and youth group at night. I remember dreaming about the future. When I would only have to work, ...
