Answer
The best parenting advice I ever received was to give your child enthusiasm! I started at a young age with Katie and she truly possesses enthusiasm in her life now. I'm thankful to the lady that told me about training my child to be enthusiastic. I took it even further and became enthusiastic, even about the mundane things in our lives. It has shown its rewards with a child who has a passion for learning, life and Jesus!!
My favorite scripture has always been Philippians 4:13:
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
I started blogging because I felt it was needed in the internet world. I got tired of googling topics and there was no real, Biblical, honest answer out there for a lot of things. Also, seeing others lack so many homekeeping skills, not knowing how to be a wife and mother - stirred me up to help in any way I could! I think the platform of having the world at our readership can't be taken lightly and I figured if all these people across the world came to read what I wrote - that God could use it. Even if something I share helps ONE person, then its worth it to me.
I've never put aside my beliefs or principles to win over readers. I think if we disguise ourselves from what we truly are to gain readership or popularity, even online - we will probably do the same in real life. I'm no mystery - I have my beliefs on my sidebar - this is what I am! I am not ashamed.
Despite not blogging to please the majority - God has blessed me with readers all over the world! Not only was this blog started to help others but it also has helped me in my walk with God and to connect with people likeminded! I've made mistakes even publicly on this blog but I admitted them and went on. To have so many people see your faults, failures and mistakes really makes you stronger to handle whatever criticism you face in life. I think if it had not been for this blog and all the haters, criticism and slander I've received because of it - I may not have developed to who I am today. God truly used this blog to make me better and work things out of me in my own life!!
