Living a Godly life and Parenting in a Godly way

So today I want to touch on what it means to live in a Godly life and Parent in a Godly way. This does not mean that we get up and go to church every Sunday only to forget what we have been taught after we go home from church. To live a Godly life means to uphold the values that the Bible teaches us that God wants every day of every week of every year. To parent in a Godly way means to instill the values that we have been taught by the Bible into our children. I know myself I have often struggled to live a Godly life, often times I have been persecuted for speaking of the blessings of God. God has done many good works in my life, blessed me beyond measure, and even when I was in the depths of trials, he was always there helping to carry the cross that at moments seemed far too heavy to bear. I have been blessed with family, friends, and the gift of being a mother. I'm in my life trying to parent him in a Godly way. Sometimes I fail in this but I do try. I teach him to love those who have less, those who come from broken homes, who may not have the same values as us.

Which brings me to my next point. My friend had put on her status on facebook that sometimes christian people have cliques among themselves making others feel left out. This is not Christ like at all. It is our job as parents to instill in our children to love each other. We have so many bullies in school because we don't often teach our children to love one another. Sure we speak it but we do not live it, we need to start leading by example, it is not just enough to say something we have to always follow through on it. Our children are watching us, they hear the things we say out of the public eye, and if they see us not practicing what we preach we can't expect them to follow it. It is our duty to form our children into the people they will become in the future.

Love and Light,

Been a long time since I've written

Things here have been sooo busy lately, that I haven't had a chance to write. I'm hoping this will change soon. Things here have been changing for the better though, Corbyn and I are more relaxed since being separated from Andy. Although Corbyn is testing me more than he ever has before. I think that is contributed to the Terrible Twos though. How do all of you parents with Toddlers out there deal with the frustrations brought on by the terrible twos? I know that I've been frustrated everyday for the last couple of weeks with my son not listening, I absolutely lovIe my son but he is so frustrating.


On another note I was asked by giveaway scout to add my blog to their directory so I am doing so. I hope in the near future to be able to giveaway some great things that will attract more people to my blog :)

Have a great day peoples. I've got to get up for work at 4am tomorrow morning.

Love and Light,

Krystal
