I feel like I haven't written a Blog in a minute. Anyone who doesn't get the "minute" comment obviously hasn't seen the movie "Project X". I have....obviously. Watching that movie reminds me of how important it is, as a parent, to be completely and 100% involved in my children's lives. It is too bad my children sometimes don't feel that way. But at the end of the day I can rest better knowing that I put 110% effort in raising my children. Really, their not "My" children, they're "Our" children considering that I'm still married to their Father and have been for almost 20 years (we've been together for 24 years). It's so nice knowing that I don't have to do this thing called parenting on my own. Mike, my husband/their Father, and I try very hard to back each other up when it comes to our children.
By no means am I stating that we are the perfect couple or the perfect family. That would be a flat out lie. I am simply stating that Mike and I made it a priority to raise loving, moral, and strong children. When we dated we always talked about how we would like our children's upbringing to be. We always knew that I would stay home with the kids and take care of the everyday household duties. I know I have a college degree, but my career path was going to be our family. We always knew that Mike would be the main source of income. We also KNEW that we wanted our children to grow up with Jesus in their lives. We knew all of this about each other before we were married, had children, and settled into a home or church. God is very important to us..even when we were dating.
I sleep better knowing that our children have a solid foundation of Christianity. So that way, when our children are in their 20's 30's 40's and so on(which Nate is 24 years old) and going out or doing whatever, they will know God is with them, always. Statistics show that children raised with The Church, even though they may walk away from Jesus for some reason or another, are more likely to raise their children with The Church....
*For those of you who are thinking the word "church" as to mean a building
with people there on Wednesday nights and/or Sunday mornings please let me
correct you. The word "Church" means The Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ
is "The Church".
*I didn't use the word "Religion" because religion is man made, but
Christianity is Christ made.
My point is...
Parents please, if you haven't yet then please start, to get involved in your child's life. It IS YOUR business what they do! It IS YOUR business who they are with! It IS YOUR business to ask questions! It IS YOUR business to give your child boundaries. It IS YOUR business to make rules! It IS YOUR business to be involved! It IS YOUR
