Discipline

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Since it is a well established fact that I am a somewhat silly and illogical person, I have no problem admitting that I often worry about being a parent. It seems like a lot of work. Don't get me wrong, the woman inside of me would never dream of not getting married and having kids, but I still worry. I think the year of teaching I just had is what makes me worried. How am I going to be a good parent? It seems like a lot of work.

I have to cut my parents some slack. Actually in terms of disciplining and child-rearing, they do a pretty good job. Of course I see flaws, but I figure I should wait until I have kids before I make any real judgments.

This is something I'll have to deal with when the time comes. It's not like I even have a husband or anything. I mean really...one thing at a time...

Lord, let this not be a source of worry or anxiety,except in anticipation of the wonderful blessing a family can be to a woman. I know I'm a complicated case, but please let this be a blessing I get to enjoy. And can I enjoy it sooner rather than later? Your will above all else be done!


Amen. Amen. Amen.
