1588 Am I Messing Up My Kids?

Am I messing up my kids? I don't know that I want to know that answer. However, what I do know is that they are stretching me. Who cares about what I'm doing to them. What are they doing to me? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact We have this parenting thing all backward. We seem to focus on the children more than ourselves. Now you know that our children are very important. However, why do we always question what we are doing to them? Instead of being concerned as to whether or not they are going to need counseling, or therapy to undo what we did, let's reverse the question. Are my kids messing me up? And the answer is NO!!! They are STRETCHING you!! Messing up and stretching are two totally different areas. You are going to make mistakes as a parent. You are going to make poor decisions. But overall, you are doing the best you know how. But what is really awesome to see is how your children stretch you. Because what's better than real life? NOTHING!! So let the stretching begin! The K.I.S.S. ~ Become elastic in your perspective! We can become so centered on what we know. Strengthening our strengths (what we're good at) is super duper easy. But learning and growing is a magnificent challenge! "God wants you and I to rise up to our potential; not the potential that we know, but the potential to grow." ~ Kristianne Wargo He wants to stretch you beyond your own knowledge. And the simplest way to do that is put in the middle of the mess! Am I messing up my kids? Probably. But they're messing me up .... To grow, to soar, to shine beyond the stars. Now that's gotta put a little spring in your step and a smile on your face knowing that you don't have to know it all. God wants to teach you. "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." ~ Proverbs 22:6 KJV So become elastic in your perspective...S.O.S. Stop hiding behind that which you do know. Operate in love always. Search out what you don't know. Life is going to be messy, but understand that messy is a step to bring you closer to your God-given potential, not as a parent, but as a child of God. "Be present. Be incredible.
