Our Kids are our Great "Because"

That great BECAUSE refers to...

raising a kid and running a household simultaneously with working from home. 

Working parents can still make a difference...parenting is a priority and shouldn't be considered an interference to career advancement. 

Working full time and feeling rushed is an almost constant reality...working from home actually feels like taking twice the amount of energy... however despite all these,  one can still work productively... 

and it means maintaining a steady average speed on few things and consistently  getting the most important things done...

For working parents... it could mean ensuring the child's basic needs are met and giving the child a sense of being specially valued.

A Child's Big Heart

I believe that it doesn't need a certain age level or a huge bank account for any individual to do simple acts that could mean a lot. Last year, of the same day today, JD asked me if we would allow him buy some knick - knacks for other kids in the neighborhood. Immediately after hearing our "Yes!", he called up his Lola Mommy in Maryland and solicited an amount for his kids' pantry. Without a second thought, his Lola Mommy deposited an amount, funding the li'l boy's initiative. It quickly knitted on my heart joy that until now I keep. Every time I see this photo when I happen to do some unintentional browsing, I call JD to thank him for the gift of being his mom... His heart for other people heals some void in my childhood...it wasn't that I wasn't loved and cared for...that's totally a wrong notion...the void was more of wanting to help other kids in the best way I can but I had no means...I didn't know how I must come - up to that... right ...

In loving our kids, we find our soul

We, moms sometimes... kind of lose our minds when raising kids but definitely, we find our soul. Parenting's not just an obligation but a privilege and realizing that, it feels like grace is permissive to have picked and included us to do the role...and while our kids are "works in progress", we are too. We put some effort, time... all our resources in, and much of the love we can give...then we find ourselves graced with more because raising kids is a gifted role. #sidedishesofparenting #homeschoolingJD

Unfolding Realities of Parenting

No parent is always conscious and gentle, positive and peaceful...at all times. ...and I understand it takes practice to be conscious and gentle, positive and peaceful at all times. Under all the conditioning, whether trauma or shame, social standard or other people's expectations, You are the parent you aspire to be. Never doubt yourself. Only accept the role and be grateful for being chosen to be part of your child's inward-out molding. No matter what the world says, claim your sovereignty as a parent. You are not alone in this journey. Don't get drained. Gods grace holds you. Whether you parent with a spouse or alone, God's grace holds you. #sidedishesofaparenting #positiveparenting #intentionalparenting
