WELL, actually! I had a little one. My biggest dream became true. My son will be 3 in a few days and time has gone by too fast. Oh the joy of having a little boy! Cars everywhere! I have learned so much from him and have tried my best to teach him, too. It's hard shaping a little one to be the best they can be, with fear that you may be pushing too hard or maybe not hard enough, when "no"
should be told, when its been told too many times. I try to be the best parent I can be, but that's when God steps in, at the end of the day when I am scared that maybe I wasn't perfect I am reminded I don't have to be. As parents we stress over teaching them to be kind, to obey, to be able to use their words, potty training (my current challenge), to be strong, voice their opinion, But not talk back. I want my son to be able to say "no, I don't want to do that" so that he is confident of himself and doesn't fall for peer pressure, but when he is told to clean up his toys and that comes out of his mouth 😅......... This parenting thing is tough. I have to be reminded that he belongs to God and that I am a tool God is using to shape this little guy into the man he is meant to be. I will enjoy every hug, kiss and beautiful memory on the way. My boy is strong willed (stubborn), strong (breaks things), brave (climbs everything), voices his opinion (says "No!' a lot), but most importantly my gift from God (Natahniel). Alexander Nathaniel to be exact. It feels great to be back, cant wait to share so many things with you.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
