🎧 Friday Musical Inspiration 🎧
Are any of you parents? I couldn't wait to be a mom. I told my husband that I was getting a job until I could have my dream job... being a mother. I have truly loved every stage, but that doesn't mean they are easy.
Currently, my children are 16, 14 and 12... did I mention they are all girls?!? That was something else I had hoped for. What I didn't realize was the emotions of 3 girls in their preteen/teen years would be a challenge. Hearing the words they say to themselves, hearing the struggles they go through... my heart brakes. I want so desperately to help them realize that these thoughts were placed in their head by an enemy who knows their worth but doesn't want them to realize it. If they realized their incredible standing on this earth, daughters of the King, they would be unstoppable.
But how can we as parents show them this? What are you doing to help your kids know that they can come to you no matter what? How are you helping them conquer the negative thoughts and to choose kindness to themselves and others?
This song is what my heart wants to sing to my children each and every day. I have played it for them and I pray it for them daily!
