I am writing this post at around 4:00 a.m. I'm writing it now because while laying in bed attempting to fall back to sleep after being awaken by my young baby girl I felt inspired. I believe inspired by God.
I just suddenly out of nowhere found myself thinking about how so often we tend to sit back and judge others. How many times has a person sat back and judged another person for the way they live their life, for choices they have made, or/and for things they have done. But in truth none of us are perfect. We all have sinned. We have all done wrong in the eyes of God for one. We all fall short of what God asks of us. There is no one that is perfect in any way. We all have made mistakes and no doubt will make some throughout our lives. There will be times in each and everyone of our lives and has been if we look back on our own lives that we made bad choices.
But also in truth not everything one does as a human is going to be okay with everyone. What is important is rather or not it is right with God. If God is okay with you doing it than what another person thinks does not matter. For in the end there is not one person that can say they have all the answers to life or what will work for all God's people. For not all in life is simple.
Also the next time you think to judge another remember this you may not know their entire story. You may even think you do but do you really? Can you feel what that person feels or have you walked a mile in their shoes?
Even as my former post spoke of bad parenting I in truth am not out to judge. But rather to say as parents we should look inside ourselves when our kids are repeatedly showing bad behavior. All of us parents should ask ourselves did we do something wrong. Did we do something that could of caused or encouraged this. Then if by facing the truth we find we have to take at least some if not all the blame. We need to ask ourselves what are we going to do about it. What are we going to do to fix the mistake.
The same should happen in our lives each and every day in everything in our lives. So often we tend to want to find blame. But not in ourselves. But in others.
I read posts on sights online. I listen to the news, read papers, magazines, etc... A lot of what I see is everyone blaming everyone else for the way the world is today. For the condition America is in today. But I can't help but wonder when are we going to look at ourselves and say could I be part of the problem.
I hear people say they took God out of schools. No, they did not, not fully. We as a nation did to a point. But the reality is this. I went to a school where I was told I was not allowed to pray. Did that stop me, no. God never said you had to pray out loud every single time. You do not need to use your mouth for God to hear. Think it and God will hear it. So what's to stop us from teaching our children to do a silent prayer to God.
Something I read all the time is insult after insult about people who use what many now call entitlement programs. Many are guilty of grouping all these people together. Assuming that all are lazy people who do not want to work. Which is not true. Many are hard working Americans who have given up their pride to do what ever they can to feed and cloth their children and themselves. Many did not plan on hard times coming down on them. They work but it just is not enough. Some can't work. They would like to not be disabled and some even tried to work but just could not. Some never planned on having a child or 2 with disabilities that caused one of the parents to have to be home at all times. Life does not always go as planned. Some may say well why does God let these things happen to these people. For one I believe God has his reasons. Some we may not understand. But faith means believing he has good reasons that he knows better than us.
At the end of the day a person's true value is not how much money they are worth but who they are inside.
I ask that each person reading this instead of judging a person struggling to get by offer to help them. Even if it is just in a small way. Offering to be a free babysitter for a poor mom who could and would work if she had someone to help out with the kids while she worked. Don't judge even if her own wrong choices got her in such a bad way. For we all make mistakes. But I ask of you to instead do what you can to help her and her children. To help her find her way out of the bad situation she is in. Show her that good people do exist still today. Just maybe your good deed will inspire her to do something to change her life and later on down the road inspire her to help another.
We in America have become a nation of what is in it for me. We need to become a nation of what can I do for my neighbor again. Maybe you don't have a lot yourself but still you can do for others. It doesn't always take money to help others. Hold a door open for someone, offer to clean a busy love ones house for them, offer to watch a loved ones or neighbor's child(ren) while they work or go get the groceries. Offer someone you see going hungry food. Give your old clothes, blankets, etc to someone who may need them when you no longer have use for them. Speak up for someone who you know is being harmed but for some reason does not have the voice to do it for themselves.
Yes, part of America's problem is our politicians. At this point it seems they all lie. Most we feel we no longer can count on them at all. Not one of them to keep any promises they make. But we need to remember this is a nation that was found by the people for the people. It is going to take us too. Us meaning the people who live in this land to pull together. To stop saying it's all the politicians fault, it's the poor people's fault, it the rich peoples fault. We need to each look at ourselves. I'll admit I gave up on voting because I do not believe that anyone in politics today is going to make a real difference. They seem to all say what they think the majority want to hear and once in office won't or/and can't follow through. But even if it is true that no one in politics is going to make a difference anymore. Well, that is not an excuse for us as individuals to give up otherwise on each other.
We each may not all share the same beliefs but that does not mean by helping each other we can't make a change. We can. If we want to fix our country, if we want to fix this world we each need to look inside ourselves and ask what can we do to make a difference.
Also for those reborn children of God who are reading this. It's time we realize something for those who have not at this point. You can not force your beliefs or God's word/ways on anyone. Take it from someone who has been on the other side. I have always believed in God but here was a time in my life that I thought he hated me and did not believe in me. No one could convince me otherwise. Only God could reach me in his time. No one trying to force his word or ways down my throat ever managed to reach me.
Another thing we need to stop doing is arguing over God's word, what they say and mean. In truth I have come to realize what they may mean for one in some situations they may not mean for another. God has his reasons I believe why that is. Yes, a good bit of his word means the same for all but some it depends where they are in life. You can not force a new reborn child in God to come to your understanding of his word if you have been a reborn child of God for years. Their just not ready or mature enough in God yet to be at the same place. Especially if that person has yet to go through things that will show them God's way.
So let's as God's children say how can I help and what can I do different so the mistake I made that effected another or myself can be fixed. Or how can I be a good example to others. We're not perfect. We will all fall short and at moments find ourselves judging again. But I pray that when that happens we each hear that voice of God's whispering in our ear telling us it is only his place to judge. When Jesus walked this earth did he not preach and sit among thieves, murders, prostitutes. So instead of preaching in other faces and judging lets us do as Jesus would no doubt want us to do. Lead by example. But remember along with that never try to be more than what you are, human. Be open and let those around you know that you know you are not perfect and you will fall short sometimes. Admit when you know you made a mistake. Let go of your pride and never be above admitting or saying, "I did wrong, I made a mistake and for that I am truly sorry".
As I admit now I have been wrong about some things in the past. For those reading this if I have ever said or done anything that hurt you in anyway I am truly sorry!

It's hard to not notice that into days world there are so many parents that can't help but make you wonder. Wonder why they can't see what is right in front of them. They question why does my child do this and that. So many bad behaviors. The parents sit and play the blame game. Putting all the blame on others. But not once do they consider that they might be at fault. If not fully at least they share some of the blame.
Yes, I believe in ADHD, ADD, Bipolar, and autism. I have a child myself with autism. But I also believe it is over diagnosed. Also never once did I let my child use her disorder as an excuse for her behavior. Also I realized a long time ago that children learn from example and in many cases children who do truly have these disorders, this is even more true. They tend to be very sensitive and more quickly to pick up what is going on around them. So many times I see children who behave badly and the parents wonder why. Parents are to lead by example. No you don't have to be perfect. But be careful what you as a parent say and do in front of your children. Especially when they are 1-5 yrs. of age. If they hear you cursing, yelling, joking about things. They will learn to do the same. Some say well I tell my child not to do as I do but as I say. At such a young age all a child can see is my mom and dad do it so it must be okay. Kids at that age think their parents can do no wrong. So if my mom and dad do it matter if they say it is wrong or not it can't be wrong. I myself have seen so many parents sit back and giggle/laugh when a child slips out a curse word when little. Than that child reaches an older age and the parent realizes the child is doing this again and again. They are displaying these behaviors at school and the parent(s) get defensive when the teacher tells them their child is acting up at school. The same parent wants to blame everyone else and/or ask why is my child behaving like this. A lot of them not once seem to want to look inside themselves. Yes, it's true that even a child raised in a good home can display bad behavior. But most times it has been proven that it is how the child is raised, especially the first five years of their lives. No child is perfect. So good kids, raised in good homes matter how many times mom and/or dad say don't do as those kids do but as mom and dad have taught you, they will still follow the example of other kids.
Also from my own personal experience that theory if my kid is being bullied tell him to hit back and hit back harder or threaten too does not work out well. I mean I never told my older son that. I always told him to try and walk away but protect himself if need be. Well, he got fed up and fought back. He was always the one seen hitting and got in trouble. The other kids who started it all and did the bullying never got caught. At least not until it got real bad. It took another kid threatening his life and attempting to kill him. My son realized through that he was better off to try and walk away when ever possible and to keep on telling everyone he could that he was being bullied. That in time someone will listen. There are other choices other than hitting back when not need be.
I mean think about it we live in a time when bullying seems to be worse than ever. It use to be normal for boys to fight and to hear name calling. But now days you constantly are hearing about kids killing and making attempts on others lives. Where are our kids learning this. Not just from TV. Yes, we should monitor our kids TV watching, especially at a young age. Which is our responsibility not the entertainment industry. Kids are learning it from parents who they have seen do such behavior. Kids are learning it from parents who say hit back.
I have taught my kids also telling is another good idea because they may be helping this child without realizing it. Maybe this kid behaves this way because they are being mistreated at home and/ or maybe they have something going on like a disorder that no one seems to be seeing. If this is the case by telling a grown up about the bullying they may get the help this child who is doing the bullying so desperately needs.
It seems we have a world loaded with parents who do not want to take responsibility for their young child's behavior. The blame game is not the answer. As a parent when our child(ren) make bad choices we need to look inside ourselves as parents and ask our we at fault at all. For none of us are perfect parents. I have 5 children. One thing I have learned is I will never know it all as a parent. For not all kids can be disciplined the same way. After all children are individuals and parenting is a learning process that tends to start over with each individual child. For what works for one may not work for another. There are some things that the rule applies for all kids but disciplining for one is not one of them. We as parents will slip up. We will make mistakes. Something we should make sure our children know and try to help them understand. I tell my kids I am not perfect. Yes, I know I have made mistakes and will no doubt in the future make a few. What is important is that we learn from our mistakes and make sure our children see that.
I know parenting is harder now than ever in today's world. My mom says she does not envy me having to raise children in today's world. We as adults tell out children don't fight. Even our older ones. Than they turn on the news as teens and hear of wars caused by adults. They hear congress not being able to compromise and all the arguing that is going on in politics. What an example our leaders our making to our children. As a parent all you can do is personally sit a better example. Don't have the TV on so much. Talk to your older children about what is going on in the word today. Even kids as young as 7/8 yrs. old are going to school and hearing about all this.
Things we do with all our children each day is tell them we love them. Spend individual time with them. We also asked them how their day went and if they need to talk to us about anything at all. We stay consistent with how we discipline them. We reward them for doing chores, good behavior and good at school. After all in life don't we usually at some point find we get rewarded for doing good and hard work ourselves usually. I also make sure they have their school work done. Every day of my life God comes first. But along with that so does my family. A value that has all but disappeared in this country. As family values have been put more and more to the way side and more and more kids are growing up with just mom's who are working so much and a few even partying a lot we are raising a generation loaded with kids who are raising themselves and never learn wrong from right. Desperate these type of children are looking for someone's love and attention. So these kids tend make bad choices most the time. Theses kids if never touched by the right person can and many times grow to be destructive themselves and others easy victims for those who would like to bring them harm is some way.
It's up to the adults. Parents and communities alike to take the steps to change how these kids are being raised. I have heard so many times from non believers and believers of God this is my child to raise I will do as I see fit. They feel that they have the right to treat children as they please. Well, they are wrong. God himself has clearly stated bring no harm to a child. That he will punish you. He also gave you this child as a gift. That child matter what you believe is God's first. If you are harming this child in anyway abuse, neglect, not training them up in what is wrong and what is right you are doing them harm. Also this child is not just a gift to you but the world. Yes, it's true if you are doing no harm and trying hard to be the best parent you can be you are doing no harm. It's okay to make mistakes but are you learning from them. But if not someday matter if you believe it are not you will like all other wrongs have to answer for this. For matter if you believe God is real or not does not make a difference in the fact that he is. That aside parents who raise their kids in abuse, neglect, or/and not teaching them wrong from right need to ask themselves someday when their child is raised what type of person do they want or prefer their child to be. One that helps the world or harms it.

Setting here listening to Christian Rock. Looking over my life at the moment. I know beyond a doubt God is here with us. I have lived through many of his miracle first hand myself. If it was not for him I would not be the person, wife, and mother I am today.
I sit here thinking about where our country(USA) could be heading it makes me sad to a point. But I turn to my faith and knowledge of my own past personal experiences. I know that even if the world falls down around us God will get us through. God has never abandoned me. Not once.
15 yrs. old and suicidal and I thought alone and he was there. He saved me when what I took that night should of killed me. Then again almost 11 yrs. later at the age of 25 almost 26 he saved me again. The docs said I and my baby girl who was still inside me would not survive the night. But we did. Mariah my 15 yr. old daughter is proof that miracles can happen. Then at 27 yrs. of age I met a stranger in a church that did not know me. With a touch and a prayer sent from God I over came my past. All my heart break of a taken childhood do to being abused in so many ways and anger I was holding on to because of it was taken away that night. After 11 yrs. of being a reborn child of God I finally felt his touch and understood that the answer was to give it all to Jesus. My life started to change in so many ways since then. Through all God did for me since that night I tried to take my own life at 15 I came to understand that I was never alone. That when my father threw me into a door when I was 7 that Jesus was there holding me. When a much older family member took my innocence the 1st time when I was 2 and many times after that Jesus was there holding me. That he was there for me through all the abuse. All the beatings I took. He was there also when my father said to me I am sorry for the father I was. He was there to help me as I fought to forgive him. He has been there when I fought to forgive those who abused me that are either not sorry or in denial that they ever did so. He has taught me how to pray for them. He has shown me how my father became the man he was until about a yr. and half before he died. My father passed away as a reborn child of God. His last words were I see Jesus, =) Was told after our last lose of a baby that we could not have anymore and that another pregnancy would kill me. July of 2012 God gave us a baby girl and after a rough pregnancy and rough delivery that ended n a C-section I to survived. At the time of her birth finances we starting to look down. a week after her birth she became ill do to a bad infection she had been born with they believe. But our baby girl survived. It was during that hospital stay that my hubby was informed that there was a job opening at the hospital that was perfect foe him. He got the job. It meant he got to switch shifts so that he could/can spend more time with his children and much better pay. No more just getting by.. Some times God's miracle or blessings come from the strangest places. Our daughter got better and because of that hospital stay our financial lives changed. We are now in better financial shape than we ever have been, not rich. But dong much better in that way. But we know beyond a doubt God was at work there.
God has been there with all my loses. My father, a close friend who past when I was only 18 from cancer, 6 baby angels, my mother-n-law.
He was there for me and my mom when my one brother who had made bad choices for his life fought for his life. He was even there for my brother who against the odds survived. Which the docs even say is a miracle.
Yes, I have seen people who's lives seem to always be catching up with them and all seems to fall apart. But the one common thing they have is no faith in God/Jesus or they have doubt.
True faith has no doubt.
I have faith that matter what happen to this countries future God will not abandon his children.
As for ones that think he has. Watch the ones who truly have faith. Watch those who do not. A true child of God, not one who just claims to be will find away to weather the storm no matter what. One who has faith does not worry about their future. One who has true faith fears nothing. For through God/Jesus there is nothing to fear. For a true believer gives their life and soul to God. Death to this life is not the worse thing to face. The worse thing is to not choose God. For only through God can one have eternal life. Knowing that with God one is given eternal life if one chooses God there is no death to fear. Because our true self/ our soul can not die. Through God I fear nothing. Through my past I know I know through God I can handle anything that comes my way. Even death to this life. Even when inevitably another one of my loved one leaves this life. Even the lose of my 6 unborn children who now live in heaven. For I know someday we will meet at heaven's gates.
Also for me I also refer to God as my father in my every day life at this point. I now understand I have two fathers in life. God the father in heaven. Then there is the father he gave me to here on earth to raise me and take care of me as a child. The first one is always there no mater what.
So my advice to all is run to God in good and bad times. As our country may be getting ready to face some really hard times. I will tell others have faith turn to God and he will get you through this.
I sit here thinking about where our country(USA) could be heading it makes me sad to a point. But I turn to my faith and knowledge of my own past personal experiences. I know that even if the world falls down around us God will get us through. God has never abandoned me. Not once.

Yes, I have seen people who's lives seem to always be catching up with them and all seems to fall apart. But the one common thing they have is no faith in God/Jesus or they have doubt.
True faith has no doubt.
I have faith that matter what happen to this countries future God will not abandon his children.
As for ones that think he has. Watch the ones who truly have faith. Watch those who do not. A true child of God, not one who just claims to be will find away to weather the storm no matter what. One who has faith does not worry about their future. One who has true faith fears nothing. For through God/Jesus there is nothing to fear. For a true believer gives their life and soul to God. Death to this life is not the worse thing to face. The worse thing is to not choose God. For only through God can one have eternal life. Knowing that with God one is given eternal life if one chooses God there is no death to fear. Because our true self/ our soul can not die. Through God I fear nothing. Through my past I know I know through God I can handle anything that comes my way. Even death to this life. Even when inevitably another one of my loved one leaves this life. Even the lose of my 6 unborn children who now live in heaven. For I know someday we will meet at heaven's gates.
Also for me I also refer to God as my father in my every day life at this point. I now understand I have two fathers in life. God the father in heaven. Then there is the father he gave me to here on earth to raise me and take care of me as a child. The first one is always there no mater what.
So my advice to all is run to God in good and bad times. As our country may be getting ready to face some really hard times. I will tell others have faith turn to God and he will get you through this.
