Transparency Tuesday: Always seek for understanding

I always pray for understanding when it comes to raising my boys.

Raising children does not come with a manual-- we literally learn as we go. Children are little human beings who will soon grow to be adults, but as they growing, we are the ones that are responsible for instilling things that they will resonate with for the rest of their lives.

Sometimes I sit down and I go 'Can I really do that?!"

Yes. Yes. I can. 

Yes. Yes YOU can.

Everything in life needs understanding. Understanding in the key to everything. When you have understanding of yourself.. you know what needs to be worked on and what needs to be maintained. When you're in a relationship.. or having friendships, once you understand what works and what doesn't.. the relationship can progress from there.

When it comes to our children.. once we understand their personality..what triggers them, what makes them feel better, what they like, what they dislike... you get the point, we can start from there. With children it's a little different because they are still growing and developing and changing so we have to be so in tune with them that when they do change, we have to see what will help them move along.

It's not an easy process, but we got this.
