Tough

 Many of us like to put armor on and say we're tough, or "it doesn't bother me." Society tries to say men can't feel things, or else they are week. And as a new mom expecting a boy, I do not want my boy growing up thinking he can't feel things and be honest. Even the toughest ones still struggle internally whether they want to admit it or not. So why...why do we do this silent struggle thing, when we've all been there?

I say it's time to let the armor down and show our true authentic, self, the feelings, the hurt, the pain, the loneliness. Don't let someone suffer! We're all in this together.

In A Different Way

Many parents have their way of doing things...I propose we do things In A Different Way here are some ways parents DO their things The "Empowerment" Way 1. Because I can, because I said so The "Comparison" Way 2.  So and So would never do that! Why can't you be like (name here). The "Simple" Way   3. your grounded. I'm taking your phone! Go to your room! Tell your dad (tell your mom) These ways can work (they often do, ask any parent!) but we aren't here to do it the EASY way, we're here to teach our kids. The truth is...some kids don't learn from the Easy Way but most parents aren't willing to try any other way. They use excuses like "it worked for them...it works on my other kid(s). They just don't take the time. Then parents are left wondering "why do my kids never listen?" The problem is that kids aren't being taught. Sure, these methods work a lot but that doesn't guaranteed that every ki

 Listen to that song above, the words:  " The more I praise You,  The more I want to.  I'm falling in love, falling in love with You.  I lay my life down,  God, I am Yours now.  I'm falling in love, falling in love with You.  For the stars at night,  Every sunset sky,  For it all, oh God, I say "I love You." For the world You made,  Every brand new day,  For it all, oh God, I say "I love You"  For the cross You bore,  Every nail and thorn,  For it all, oh God, I say, "I love You"  All I have inside,  Heart, soul, and mind,  For it all, oh God, I say, "I love You"  For it all, oh God, I say, "I love You" This song makes us think about our Father and how much we truly do love Him. Being a Christian isn't about being perfect, it isn't about following rules and a guideline, it isn't about being better than others. It's about being chosen by the king and creator even when we turn away and fail. I heard once that

Insecurities

As you can probably tell by the title, this post is all about our insecurities. Love triangles or "Affairs" are one of the big sources for insecurities in relationships. Many of times we are far too quick to assume the worst in a situation. We see a girl talking flirtatiously with our man and we suddenly think he's flirting too. Sometimes that is the case but not always. These doubts and fears are things we cannot always avoid but we can avoid assuming the outcome. Assuming has never fixed anything and your relationship will not be pardoned from this. Talk with your boyfriend or partner about what is going on. If you talk it through then it's more likely to be sorted out rather than blaming him and making him feel you don't trust him. Maybe he is untrustworthy here but allow him to tell you himself. Same goes for the men as well, do not assume your wife or girlfriend is at fault. Always talk to the other person...as you know communication is important to r
