Today’s Tip

Parents, if we are being honest with ourselves, we canโ€™t control our children. ๐˜–๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜จ๐˜ฐ๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฏ’๐˜ต ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ, ๐˜ฃ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข ๐˜จ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ง๐˜ญ๐˜ถ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ.โฃ

When we try to control our kids, we take away their autonomy. When they are away from us, it’s rare that they actually do what we want them to do. They do what they want to do regardless, if it’s good for them or not. They just want the freedom to make their own choices for once. โฃ
โฃ
But when we influence them by teaching, training, and being good role models, they internalize and maintain their autonomy and do what they feel is right. And itโ€™s based on what we’ve taught them – ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆโ€™๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต.โฃ
โฃ
It might be hard sometimes, especially as our children grow older, but we need to trust that we have taught them well. Save this post for later when you need the reminder that youโ€™re doing a good job. ๐Ÿ’™

Never Forget Where Yah Has Brought You From

September 19, 2019

Itโ€™s deep how life comes full circle at times. I met this brother Sierra in 1991 when I was trying to get in shape. Little did I know that the Most High crossed our paths so that I could build my spiritual โ€œmuscles.โ€ Sierra was not only a trainer at a national chain gym but a man of Godโ€”and later I discovered he was married to my good friend from high school, Youlanda. Sierra was a strong influence in my life and we became close friends.

Life is full of decisions, but life is not about decisions

September 15, 2019

I am so thankful I listened to wisdom instead of my emotions because another strong rain could have caused some potentially costly damage. Also, a flat-roof in Michigan is not idealโ€”it needs to be maintained annually. Praise Yah for my neighbor because another month of procrastinating could have cost our family๐Ÿ’ฐ!
