			Abuse I am Speechless... I had to ask  to understand what it was that I was feeling ....I literally asked him.."Is what I am feeling, when I am there, safety?".... A Humble Confession I realized this past week...... that I have a tendency to change the subject when things are getting too risky, painful or shameful etc.... >>click here for more Career Finding Your Niche This morning I received the pre-coaching information profile from a 40-yr-old teacher. He wrote, "I feel like I got on the wrong boat, and now my life is half over." Wow - what a painful statement about moving along in this journey called life... Security, Great Pay, and No Stress Many people who are having trouble making decision are trying to make choices from circumstances, rather than from their values and vision... >>click here for more Marriage Intimacy with Husband and Childhood Abuse ...some of these things that I am learning about myself are difficult to face ..it's been a long time... Divorce - Mercy and Grace The legal proceedings are going on but, some things are happening....My husband called me and ‘begged’ for mercy and grace... >>click here for more Parenting / Teaching $20 Bill Recently, the Lord gave me a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate the power of His awesome grace to one of my sons. This son phoned me at the bookstore one day and said, "Guess what, mom... I found a $20 bill in the pocket of one of my pairs of shorts." Immediately I discerned that what he was telling me probably wasn't the truth. But I congratulated him on finding the lost money and we speculated that it was probably some forgotten birthday money... Attention / Learning Disabilities - Environment of Grace If it were not for my adventurous imagination, school would have been like solitary confinement in a maximum security prison. In elementary school my high grades reflected only my ability to memorize facts... Cheating, Low Self Esteem, and Fear First find out what your daughter values. Then use her value to motivate her. I would not be concerned with low test results. I had extremely low test results throughout school and today have 3 master degrees and now working on my Ph.D. I found something that I value... Disciplining Toddlers Enjoy! Smile a lot! Laugh a lot! Especially while their young! Make sure that your toddlers see mommy and daddy as their advocates not their adversaries. Too often we think that unless we break a toddler's will then we have failed in our responsibility as a parent... The Picnic  They got upset that I was requiring them to do something before we left, and attitudes were evident.  I tried not to let it get to me and was successful  at remaining quiet while they huffed and puffed but tried to do what was asked. However they were so upset that eventually one of them said something about having to clean up someone else's messes and before we knew it they were scuffling. More words were exchanged including "stupid" and "idiot."... >>click here for more Spiritual Growth If You're a Christian, DON'T TELL ANYONE! Over the past couple of years, I've been working on mask-wearing, but this CD so strongly convicted me that I began crying out to God begging Him to take my mask off....because it's my strongest desire to be used by Him. >>click here for more Other Topics Alcoholism A person does not have to be behind bars to be held captive... Anorexia and Bulimia I spent years trying to "amount to something" I spent 15 years battling Anorexia/Bulimia ...The pressures to conform to society are so strong and I pray daily that my children are stronger than I was... Betrayal My father had suffered a massive heart attack. He was on life support, and he died later that day after I reached his bedside. After the funeral, reality set in, and I began the most difficult journey of my life... Sexual Sins Remind your son that Jesus carried the stigma of illegitimacy around with him his whole life.  Even when He was 33 they were still bringing up the fact that he was born in fornication... The Cross and Criticism How can we move from always being quick to defend ourselves against any and all criticism toward becoming instead like David who saw it as gain? The answer is through understanding, believing, and affirming all that God says about us in the cross of Christ. >>click here for more
