Note to Self

Note to Self & to All Mamas/Parents!

You can’t always fix things for your kids.

I know its hard because, as mothers, we want to make everything easier for them. It is in every mother to nurture and protect them at all cost, but sometimes they have to figure it out on their own. That is all a part of growing, learning, and maturing.

We can teach them a lot of things, but some things they have to learn on their own.

You can love them and support them, but they have to walk their own path.

Loving them sometimes means letting them figure out the hard stuff and standing on the sidelines while watching them walk away from it better equipped, more mature, and better able to handle whatever life throws their way.

I am still learning this and, believe me, its hard, but sometimes love has to give them wings to fly.

In the meantime, keep praying and trusting God.

And if you say that you trust God, wouldn’t you trust Him with your kids as well?

They will be okay.

Amen.
