Hey
Mamas,
E-Hugs
and welcome here. It's so exciting to have you join me on this lifetime journey as a Model Mom. 😎
Over
time, I have realised that being a parent is no joke as time and
again, I have discovered – and painfully so, that there is no parenting
template as well as that what works for one child may not necessarily work for
the other, I find myself at wits end as to how to raise these kids entrusted in
my care to be the best they can be, whilst embracing the path of destiny and
fulfilling the divine call on their life.
To
this end, there is no gainsaying that I need the grace of God to get it
right as regards motherhood whilst chasing career alongside other life
engagements.
Having been born into a family of five
kids, an absentee father and an eventual failed marriage, I remember my mother
doing her best to single-handedly raise all of us whilst trying to be the
example our father was not. It was difficult on many fronts, and sometimes her
parenting experience of wearing many hats trying to raise her children was
indeed frustrating as we could feel her pain on many levels, borne out of a
desire to see her kids turn out right despite the absence of a father. Finally,
she resorted to much prayer and the corrective use of the rod. However in
retrospect, what she failed to do was the use of positive confessions to shape
our eventual destinies. Thankfully, God’s mercies kept us from making a mess of
ourselves and ensuring her prayers were not in vain. Fast-forward many years later, with life
having dealt me quite some cards, a happily married career woman, and Mom of
two boys aged 3 and 1, it’s my sore and greatest desire to see my kids embrace
the path of destiny from their tender ages.
This means I am leaving nothing to chance
as long as it is within my power to ensure these children are set on the right
path from their tender age, by being intentional as a parent whilst solely leaning
on provisions of divinity to carry out this major assignment. It is a lifetime
call, with no ‘holiday breaks’.
Ok, so if you are anything like
me, or have a similar desire to see your kids be the best God intended,
then I honestly cannot hide my excitement that you have decided to join me on
this roller coaster journey for which abundant grace would be supplied, so that as
Moms we can stand in the gap, embrace our challenges and capabilities whilst being accountable with and for each other, thus leaving nothing to chance in raising these destiny fulfillers and trail blazers.
Quite frankly, I do not
have the full picture of this yet, but I trust that as we follow divine leading
while standing in and for one another, destiny is realised and God is glorified.
Imaginatively Stay
Tuned.
Love + Light,
Nancy
