Encourage. Don’t Discourage.

All we are doing anymore, to moms, to dads, to anyone is discouraging them. Making moms feel guilty for not spending enough time with their children, or not keeping the house clean for their husband, or being “lazy” because cleaning house and taking care of children, even though we love it, it can be very exhausting…etc. We keep telling moms and dads that they’re not doing enough for their family.

We can’t be happy for each other anymore. Someone wants to do something to help better provide for their family, and they get told that they’re not thinking it all through. That they’re doing the completely wrong thing. They can’t just say “I’m proud of you!” Or “Do what you think is best for you and your family. We will support you, no matter what!”

I feel like no one is supporting anyone anymore. There’s no more support, just discouragement and tearing others down, instead of lifting them up.

I look at my daughters face every day, and all I want is the best for her. God has been so good to us already. We are in the process of some things, hopefully they will work out. My husband and I think through everything before we do it; we make sure that all the ‘i’s are dotted, all the ‘t’s are crossed before we do anything completely. We don’t do things out of haste, not super important things. We are a family, we just want what is best for us and our little family. We need to provide for our little girl. We want her to have the best that we can give her. She means everything to us.

Sometimes I’ll just watch her sleep, and think about what she will want to do when she gets older. I think about her growing up; and how she’s already growing up so fast. She’s almost SIX months old! Half a year! Time seriously flies!! We blink and it’s already been six months! All we want is the best for our little girl, and our future children. We will probably do things that others don’t like, but they are our decisions, and we are doing what is best for us and our family.

This blog post is a little bit different than my others, but it’s just what has been on my heart lately. It gets on my nerves when others can’t be happy for someone else who are just trying to better provide for their family. Even if it means doing something that others don’t like. It’s not always about them and what they want. It’s what best for us and what we need. If someone doesn’t like where they’re at and if they’ve tried different things to make them better but there is nothing else, so they try something else…they get upset and think about themselves. I don’t mean this in a bad or mean way, it’s just that sometimes people have to do what is best for them, even if some people don’t like the idea.

I just wish people would be more supportive towards others and what they want to do, especially if they are trying to better themselves and for their family.

Please pray for my family, that everything will work out as it should. 🙂 Thank you so much!
