It seems like I have been neglecting this blog and instead of it being a daily thing, it has become a random thing.
Moving on, I feel my parenting has started over. With Miss Ava, I have decided that I would like to change some ways that I have been parenting up to now. For example, for the first time in a while, I will be going to church, I'm taking the girls with me, but I would also like to give my girls a foundation of faith. It doesn't necessarily have to be of any denomination, but I would like it to be based in spirituality.
Something I was never directly taught was that prayer is not about asking for things to happen or to be done. Prayer is about asking for strength to get things accomplished. I truly believe that if your mind is set, you can achieve what you need/want. Fear is the enemy of goals. Ultimately, fear kills motivation and ambition. I would like to teach my girls that fear is an crippling factor. This does not necessarily have to be so. Healthy fear is normal, when it begins to affect your hopes and dreams to the point that you abandon them and give up, that type of fear is unhealthy.
I've been paying more attention to what I feed the kids and what we feed ourselves. Healthy mind, healthy body and all that....geez, I sound like a hippy. :)
