STUMBLE; moments in time where I tripped my daughter up—teaching her a wife can manipulate her husband—showing her it’s okay to openly side with a child over her husband.
“I’ve got it.”
“I’ll pay for it.”
“I’ll make it easy, give that to me.”
“I have it covered.”
“I can.”
“I will.”
“I want to help.”
How often had I done the very thing my child should have been leaning on God for? Over the years, I robbed my kids of so many faith-building opportunities. How much stronger would their faith be today if they were given less from me and more of a reason to seek their Heavenly Father for the desires of their heart?
Hinder; moments where I intercepted, delayed, or even blocked the Holy Spirit from using a difficult situation to be the One to come through for my child.
Launch; moments where we fling, thrust and hurl our child into their very own unknown—to dig in, move forward and press on.
I regret those moments where I stumbled and hindered but give a shout of thanks to a God who forgives and makes new. I am humbled by this parenting journey and pray I continue to evolve into a mother who uses each opportunity to launch my child into His plans for their life.
What about you? Have you stumbled, hindered, or launched your child today?
