Seeing God's lessons while raising a son- PATIENCE

Seeing God's lessons while raising a son.

Patience

There is not a whole lot of discipline that goes into a young boy at 6 months old.

Pretty much they can do no wrong. :D (as I'm typing this jeremiah is banging his hands onto his high chair tray while grunting. Is this a sign of things to come?!) ha

ok back to, "pretty much they can do no wrong!" They are just sweet and cute. And probably the only temper they are going to throw around right now is the one saying I'm starving mom why are you not feeding me this very second! ha

The only thing so far that I have had to "correct" with jeremiah is patience!!! Isnt it funny how a lack of patience already shines through my son of only 6 months. Eph. 4:2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

I have been teaching him to stay calm in those times. I try and always use a calm voice and to make sure no angry faces shine at him! (i'm learning patience as I'm teaching him patience) funny cycle! Jeremiah knows that I will not stop feeing him, he's become full for the past 6 months. But for some reason he doubts me still! How many times have we doubted God that he would not take care of us and "feed" our needs that we have. He has followed through every time!! Maybe not always in the way we have wanted. But every time he has taken care of us when we were in need. In the same way Jeremiah is learning to trust me that I will not let him go hungry just because i'm switching jars of food or switching a side to nurse him on.

In this new season of life I'm always trying to find new verses that you don't usually hear come out of christians mouths. Now I know obviously there are many verses that christians don't say. But i'm talking some throw down verses. And my goal is to proclaim them with all that I am! So for Patience instead of the common 1 Corinthians 13:4 I'm going to share 1 Thessalonians 5:14, And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

So with this verse. I encourage you, to encourage those around you that seem idle in there faith and in the purpose & passion that God has given them. I encourage you to uplift your friends & speak positively into their hearts so that fear will be gone from them and they will be filled with the same passion of speaking to people that God had when he walked on this earth. I encourage everyone to help the weak!! Wether that means going down town and serving food to the homeless. Teaching refugees english so they can become more comfortable in their new home in the U.S., or helping someone close to you through a tough time. There are ALWAYS people who are feeling weak and are in need of some uplifting hands. All you have to do is look around or ask. Trust me, God will bring someone to you if you just ask! And of course Patience. Be patient with everyone. Nothing is worth getting upset, angry, frustrated, or hurting someone over.

I have prayed over this message so know as you're reading this you have been prayed over!

Here is a photo of Jeremiah. He was 6 1/2 months when this was taken. My, oh my, how my son has great personality! I adore him! I am sooo blessed to be his motherly guidance on earth.
