Our tendencies to spoon feed others need to be reconsidered actually because we may fall short on realizing their individualism, their potentials to be successful in their own ways. Well, your training is excellent because you're not just mentoring but you're actually teaching others to be accountable and for me, that's more important because you're releasing yourself from possible blames in the future...you know what I mean:)<br/><br/>So friend, enjoy and share your expertise:) Hi Friend, at times, those who have strong personalities like us (^_^) have this strong urge to lead others for what we believe is the right way.

And all the more I realize how far I fall short of God's standards, really - as a person in general, not only as a Mom.<br/><br/>Thanks for your encouraging words and for dropping by!<br/><br/>God bless you back for being a blessing.

He never dictates our actions and gave us free will. He motivates us to do the right thing but at the end of the day we still make our own choices.<br/><br/>It seems kinda hard to do this parenting style. I think am gonna have a hard time myself when I become a parent. However I think its important for us to see that when they reach a certain age we must have faith that we have raised them the right way and let them make their own decisions.<br/><br/>Am sure with the Lord's guidance you'll continue to be a great mom to Elijah =) “…(which means I can guide and motivate but not dictate)…”
