Parenting

This isn't going to be one of those, "Oh, here are my thoughts, and now that I've typed all of that out, I'm done! I've figured it all out!"

Nope. 

This is one of those "beauty" categories, where I ponder and process until either I get sick of it and live with what I processed some here and some in my brain or I just say, "Forget the whole thing."

Okay, fine. I never say that last thing. I wish I knew how to. Unfortunately, I plow through something until I have some sort of hold on it.

And trust me, sometimes, or a lot of times, I wish that weren't true.

But this whole parenting thing is different.

I'm not wrestling with a subject like the origin of sin/evil because it's something I need to know, this parenting thing is crucial because of the well-being of my children.

And yes, being in the Word is square one. I realize that, and I continue to learn how to do that more and better in part to become a better parent. 

And.

I know that the Lord has provided additional resources to aid in my on-going education of how to be a good parent.

As I grow in the Word, I'll be a better parent. 

And I'm thankful for things He brings to be that help me learn in addition to His Word.

Here are two of them.

I'm putting them here for me, mostly, to be able to come back to. (I'm not a fan of that Pininterest thing. Yet. Or maybe ever. I'm happy emailing things to myself and plopping them into folders to locate later. Or never.) 

And I hope to continue to process these things, either here or just in my brain. Or with you...

I'm resisting the urge to outwardly process. Must. Go. School. Children.
