I have a daughter and I can say we are in a time of powerful bonding. I am granted a life with my daughter which was a longing for many years. She is only 17 years old, and we now have a beautiful and rewarding relationship.
Mom's we have to realise, that what you are going through has a personal effect on your daughters. I am so guilty of this, but oh so grateful for a chance to make things right and to be the mom I should have been from day one.
I do however believe the trial, issues and emotions I went through was necessary. I am so much wiser and ready to be a mom.
If you have daughters that are still very young, now is the time for you to get over your emotions. Now is the time for you to think before you act, be wise with words you utter and see the awesome transformation in yourself and especially in your daughters.
We can no longer wake up when your kids are out of the house, raising their own families. It will be too late. They will either raise their families with the very same issues, emotions and hatred you reared them, or they will do it different.
The no communication or bad communication factor between mothers and daughters cannot continue for generations and generations to come. It has to stop here and right now. You mom, has to decide.
I remember there was a time when I was hurting so bad, and taking my frustrations out on my daughter, just made things worse. I felt worse afterwards and the only thing my daughter longed for, was her mommy. I thank God for Jesus. I thank God for using Paul to write Roman 12:2. "Do NOT be conformed to the things of this world, but YOU be transformed by the renewing of your mind...."
The problem with today's mother's are, they focus too much on a husband who feels so trapped by the wife's nagging, or by their own faults, pushes the husband further way and they forget about their kids.
Your husband Is a grown man who can be very immature in their ways of thinking. What is your job mom, keep calm and pray, not about them, but for them and leave it with God.
Get your relationship right with your son's and daughters.
I WANT TO THROW THIS CHALLENGE AT YOU TODAY:
For one hour everyday, take your eyes off of your husband, your bills, your friends and spend time with your daughter or your son.
Think about your struggles and ask yourself, do I want this for my daughters and sons?
I want to challenge you not to ask "WHY is this happening?"
But change the question to;
"How can I prevent this from happening?"
Trust me, you will have the answer sooner that you think.
Life can be really unfair, but you don't have to be.
I hope my writing has touched a mom or a mom to be, today.
God bless
In His Love
Leslene
