Prayer Inspiration

As a mother, I love my kids like I have never ever loved anyone before. 

 Unless you are a mother, the Love a mother has cannot be understood.

Sometimes I get very worrisome about my children's future. Who are they going to be? What are they going to do with their lives? Are they going to serve God? Are they going to live for Him? 

So many questions arise every time I see them "growing up" 

I have always prayed and always will pray for my babies, but sometimes, I have no idea where to start! What to say?  It's so overwhelming, knowing that they will grow up, and have their own character, their own ways of doing things; I just pray it's the right way.

Out shopping one day, I came across a yearly Calender by Day Spring. It's called: The power of a praying parent. I has changed the way I pray! Literally!

Every day, there is either a verse from the Bible in relationship to Children/Parents, or a beautifully written devotional. Something to think and pray about all day. It's amazing.

For today, this is what it said.

Isn't that amazing?

I hope and pray that this inspires you not only to be a better parent, but a daily, praying parent for your children.

God has an amazing plan for every child, but so does the Devil. It's so important to pray for God's will to be done in our children s lives, as well as ours :)

Do not underestimate the Power of PRAYER!!!

Parenthood

I just watched an episode of the show "Parenthood" on NBC.

To be honest, I have been watching it since season one and every single episode brings tears to my eyes.

It's very rare to come across a good show, especially now days. But that's a total different subject :)

Parenthood is a show about the Braverman family. 4 Siblings that have kids of their own and how they handle life with family, kids, and their parents.

I would say my favorite family is Christina and Adam.

They have a 16 year old daughter Haddie, and a 8 year old? son Max. Hattie wants to date an older guy and Max has asperger syndrome. (often considered a high functioning form of autism)

Every time I watch the show, it really hits me what it's like to be a parent of an older child.

At 16, I was no angel. I wasn't a rebel, but definitely not an angel. Looking back, how I used to be, makes me feel so bad for my parents. Now watching this show, what the parents are going through make me think. I really need to gear up with patience, and wisdom for when they become teens.

I enjoy this show, but a lot of times, the script doesn't come in alignment with my beliefs. 

I think it's very important to filter EVERYTHING we see. Take in the good, and cast away the bad.

For example, the character Christina inspires me. She is so supportive of her husband! 

I could definitely learn from that.

I don't have a child with learning disabilities, but I have a brother who does. I can relate to the family somewhat.

Overall, I enjoy watching the show. The happy and sad moments families go through are very realistic. I think that  Ron Howard and his team did an amazing job with the script.

I especially like the intro song :) You tube doesn't have it. ;O I cannot believe it. So you have to start watching an episode to hear it :) The words are sooo beautiful!

Anyway, I hope I didn't bore you with my love for this show. lol

Do you have a favorite show?

A little bit about me :)

I am a stay at home mom to two beautiful little boys :) 31months and 2 months. :) They are my life, my everything. (Yes, I DO have moments when I want to run away, in case you were wondering)

I am also a wife to a wonderful man, who is there for me every step of the way, through think and thin, for better and for worse ;) Uh, i just love him!

Besides being a mom and a wife, I am also a princess :) Yes, my Father is the King of the Universe! I enjoy spending time with Him in prayer, devotion, and feel His presence through my daily life :) 

I <3 Him!

I decided to finally write a blog of my own because I absolutely LOVE reading what other people have to say about their kids, house decor ideas, and the little things in life :)

If you do happen to stumble upon this blog, please leave me a comment and let me know you stopped by! :)

I will try my very best to write often, about my passions; kids, motherhood, home decor, and little inspirations :)
