The power of 3

Mothering is a partnership between me and God.
Fathering is a partnership between my husband and God.
Parenting is a partnership between me, my husband and God.

To be the best mother/father you can be to your child you must co-exist with Jesus. Without Him you will never be all you can be as a parent. You are merely his tool, he is doing His will through you. So, without him you are and can do nothing!

I recently started a study by Denise Glenn called: Freedom for Mothers. It has been such a great learning experience for me as a new mom. I am only in the second week but already i have been gifted with so many new insights, for example:

-God is the vine. I am the branches. Through him i can do anything, but without him I can do nothing.
-Jesus can fill all of my emotional/spiritual needs.
-Trusting the Lord with everything sets you free!
-Through every situation we must remain in Him still. NOTHING should separate us from our Lord.
-Jesus lays out for you all the qualities you need to have to be a good.Godly mother. Galatians 5: 22-23.
-Rely on Jesus for Help.
-Jesus is the answer to ALL of our needs. Not anything or anyone else.
-Jesus didnt come to be in our life, He came to BE our life.
-Do not dominate with discipline, do it gently and carefully.
-You cannot be selfish to be a good/effective wife and mom.
-Being of the flesh (me, my self and I) is not living spirit-filled.

Is it not amazing how much God can teach us each and every day. Something new in every moment. I am so eager to learn more! And what a blessing that is.
