I don't know about you, but while my little man has my whole heart and then some, sometimes I feel like I'm at my whits end with him. He throws temper tantrums. He continues the same wrong behavior no matter how many times he is repremanded. He screams the most shrill scream you've ever heard. He refuses to give hugs and kisses. Mainly, he's just a boy. I know, I know...all babies can be like this, even girls. But my dirt-loving, bug-eating, booger-picking, drool bucket little boy keeps me on my toes.
From the author of the prayer challenge:
Friends, the battle for our sons’ hearts won’t be won just by reading and implementing the best parenting techniques. It won’t be won through late night talks, lectures on right and wrong, or even committing to a Bible-preaching church. These things are all important parts of the equation, but they don’t trump the most important piece of the fight.I'm excited about praying for the specific needs my son has. Today (or really, yesterday) starts with obedience. Ahhh, starting off on the right foot :: prayers where I need them most. And not only for Carson, but for myself as well. Won't you join me in this journey of praying for our little warriors?
Prayer.
This battle is best fought on our knees.

LOVE this Elizabeth... Wow! Can you imagine the state of our nation if all parents, of boys and girls, fought this battle on our knees! I'm already thinking about our sweet little Parker and wondering how different it will be to raise a boy : ) Prayer, Prayer, Prayer!
ReplyDeleteOh and just in case you are curious.... little girls can behave the same way : ) Love, Love, Love my Emma Kate but man... sometimes, I have to remind myself to count to 5 and calm down : )
