"...the more focused we become on perfect parenting the worse it gets."
This really hit home for me. Since I am a mother of three young children I find the more I focus on all the small details the worse it seems to get. I find myself focusing on what they are wearing and what they are doing instead of who they are and who God wants them to be. I find myself focused on the outside of parenting instead of focusing on what parenting I'm doing on their insides.
"...confession leads to the naked truth."
I really need to focus on confessing my faults to God so I can see the naked truth of my parenting. I have found that it is more me focused, than God focused. I find I am self seeking gratification in my parenting plans and action instead of his. When I daily fail, I need to finally realize that this is the most important thing I am doing and I'm not really doing it that well.
"God doesn't want something from us, he wants us."
I want my children to want God in their lives. What am I constantly telling them when they do not see him in mine. I am so excited about starting this journey of learning how I can insert activities, faith, and readings into our daily lives. I'm also realizing that God is my parent and I am his wholehearted child! 😋
