I've been thinking so much about what it is taking to raise up these two girlies of mine. I talked with Kylah the other day... after she had been mad at me for not letting her do something. I shared with her how hard it is to watch them grow and make mistakes and to carry out discipline. She's at that stage where she just wants me to leave her alone and stay out of her business. Sorry girl... that's just not the way it is in our house! I try to let them work a few things out on their own but to my own fault... i'm a little all up in their business. I tried to explain to her that I could just feed her and provide her with clothes to wear. That would be easy! That's not what i'm trying to accomplish here. I'm raising up good girls, with morals, that are kind, who know what's right and wrong, who live and breathe the golden rule. Girls that go after what they want and raise up others with them along the way. Girls that are self starters with common sense who will be good wives and loving moms. That is the hard part, thats the part that takes all the work and I'm sure when she's all grown up she'll understand. Till then...

So very true--every word of what you said. Parenting is hard b/c we're the types of people that do more than just feed and clothe our kids. Good luck for a great year.

Amen to that chalkboard saying. I'm raising up two teenage boys by myself. I will be posting this at my house too.
