Edification

I choose to use words that edify and encourage my child. Compassion is an essential ingredient in providing a secure base for my child.

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, as indeed you are. ~ Thessalonians 5:11

Example

By staying centered in God, I become an expression of him. I am a Godly example to my child through wise choices. I seek to live with integrity and authenticity.

because I live, you will also live......I am in the Father, and you in me, and I in you. ~John 14:10,20

Fear

I no longer allow fear to be my master. I affirm God's goodness and release any hold it has on me. I clearly see God being active in myself and my child.

No one can serve two masters. ~ Matthew 6:24

Born Again

I don not allow sin and negativity to weigh me down. I am able to walk in freedom with my child. Christ restored us, and we walk in His life.

"I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live." ~John 11:25

Forgiveness

No matter how great I believe my mistakes to be, they are forgiven. My mistakes become my strengths. I am empowered to parent with greater wisdom.

For the sake of your name, O Lord, forgive my iniquity, though it is great. ~Psalm 25:11

Faith

I realize that my faith is not dependent on my circumstances. I embrace God's peace and loving presence. My child and I move through our challenges with grace and ease.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. ~2 Timothy 4:7

Fruit

I choose kindness, acceptance, and compassion. As I do these simple acts I am an example of love in action for my child. No matter how small the act, it ultimately makes a difference.

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. ~Galatians 5:22-23
