The Promise of Parenting

The Promise of Parenting is that God uses parenting as a unique and powerful means of growing us in His loving likeness.

Having trouble showing up as the parent you would like to be?

Feeling impatient, annoyed, irritated, angry, disconnected, unconfident?
Wanting to feel calm, patient, playful, connected, and confident?

There are no perfect parents, but there is a purposeful path that has been set before all of us. When we walk it, we grow in our ability to love better and make our kids feel more loved.

When I became a mom, I really wanted to my daughter to know how much I loved her. I wanted to be an awesome mom, but I struggled with my mood and energy.

I arranged a play date with my daughter's friends at the park so she could have fun. But I was so stressed out about getting there on time that I was crabby and turned something positive into something negative. We still got there and had fun, but I wished it could have been happy from the get go, not stressed out, grumpy, and turning it into a problem. By the time we got back, I was drained from my earlier stress and being out that I needed to be left alone. I wish I could have just came home and felt fine and got to work making dinner in a peaceful mood.

I have so many stories like this one. I began taking steps to change. I didn't want to be like this the rest of my life. We only have a short time with our kids that makes a huge impact on them later.

I took big steps and I took small steps. They all have made a difference in how I show up. I am more patient, present, and playful. Yesterday I did my work, took care of the pets, cooked with my daughter, helped her with schoolwork, and had a nice playtime with her. My house was clean, I didn't get annoyed or impatient, and we went to bed on time. Is that too much to ask? Not everyday is perfect, but taking deliberate steps makes a difference.

I've certified from numerous schools, walk this path daily in my own life, and am here to share the steps with you. Learn more about me here.

And most importantly, get started on taking steps toward change today:
