A lot of women avoid wearing nice clothes when they getpregnant because they believe that they look fat or ugly. You know that theresnothing more beautiful than a pregnant woman glowing and smiling, so youshouldnt hide your body during p Raising a family can be challenging and stressful at times. However, the common goals and emotional, financial, and physical investments made can be a common bond between husband and wife. One that compliments their marriage relationship.Of
Lets look at Psalm 139:16, Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Thy book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them. Basically, before you were born God marked out your days and may I add also your childrens days. God has a plan for you and He has one for your children as well.What does all of this have to do with guilt free parenting? Im glad you asked. God is truly in control of your life and your childrens lives as well. We cannot always see His hand or plan, but He is there. That means on our worst parenting days God is still working His plan in our lives and in our childrens lives in spite of us. There have been so many times in the Bible where at first glance Gods plan did not make sense and then on later inspection it made perfect sense. So, when we are not doing a good job of being parents, God is still working in our lives and our childrens lives.I want to quickly say this does not give us permission to say, I dont have to parent, God is in control. Im not saying that at all. What I am saying is quit beating yourself up when you feel you have not done a good job or had a less than stellar parenting moment. God does not expect us to be perfect parents or have perfect children. If He expected that or required that we would not need Jesus.May I suggest when you have that guilty feeling or bad parenting moment run to God and readmit how much you need Him. Also, rest in Him and thank Him that He is still in control and His plan will happen. Sometimes I even say, God these are your children too and I know you love them even more than I do, please help me. Give me strength to be the parent you would have me be.Guilt Free Parenting means relying on our Abba Father and trusting Him to guide us in parenting our children. It means we wont be perfect, but we can rest assured that God is still working out His plan in all of our lives. To me Guilt Free Parenting means realizing how deeply I need God and His wisdom in every area of my life and how I need to run to Him daily for strength and encouragement.Can I promise you that if you truly realize how God is in control of your life and your childrens life that you wont feel guilty? I wish I could. I have to admit I still feel guilty from time to time. Im learning and resting in my Abba Father who loves and cares for me and who has a perfect plan for my life and for my children as well. Im so thankful Im not parenting alone, but with someone who is the Perfect Parent. So, are you willing to try Guilt Free Parenting for a change? I think you will like living without guilt.
