Parenting…the hardest but most rewarding job there is. The job that will leave you shaking in your boots and wearing a hole in your knees from prayer. The job that will make you question everything you thought you knew and the theories that you had figured out…before kids.
Parenting is the job that will make you stay up all night seeking guidance and crying from your failures and losing your temper. It is the job that will give you a glimpse of heaven on earth as you gaze at your sleeping child…who looks like an angel while asleep. 🙂
I am most privileged to be a mom to 2 precious sons. We were told we would never have children so they are so special. But there are days that I forget that. Days that I want to throw in the towel, crawl in the chair and eat chocolate. All. Day. Long.
But, moms can’t do that. We have an awesome job that we are called to do, but we can’t do it alone. We need guidance from our Heavenly Father. We also need wisdom from those who have walked before us and can offer advice and a light at the end of the tunnel. It is also great to hear from a fellow mom in the place we are.
I loved sharing with you recently on my facebook page about the 4 day webinar by Sally Clarkson and Sarah Mae on parenting. It was a wonderful webinar and I was grateful to attend Discipleship and Discipline by two women that I admire and had the privilege of meeting last October at Allume.
I love all the books written by both of these sweet ladies and knew the Discipleship and Discipline webinar would be no different.
There was a night or two that I couldn’t attend, so I was glad for the webinar to watch at a later date. I decided that I had better watch at a later time than keep yelling at trying to tell my boys to be quiet and keep them distracted while I was trying to learn how to be a better parent. You get my drift?
“Quiet! I am listening about parenting!” Hello.
Some of you wanted to attend but missed it. Or knew that you weren’t available each night and didn’t see that it was a recording that you would be able to watch later. Well, now you can get the recordings to watch at your convenience and the pdfs… the pdfs and freebies are a great bonus!
If you are looking for encouragement and guidance in your parenting, you will want this webinar. This would also make a great gift for new moms, discouraged moms, homeschool moms…any mom!!
Here are some of my favorite quotes:
“No matter what you are doing, light up when your children come in the room”.
“We have one chance at motherhood. We don’t want to look back and say I gave my time and energy to other pursuits. Focus on the souls of the children that God has entrusted into your care.”
“Give your kids you, Mom. Sometimes you need to hang up the phone, get down low and look in their eyes and rub their back. They need you.”
“Pray that God’s voice will be louder than the enemies in your child’s life ~ and yours.”
“God and you are enough for your children…be careful of the influences on your children. Protect them.”
This was just a few of my favorite quotes…there are many more gems in the webinar!

My biggest challenge is communicating with my oldest son who is very emotional!
Thanks for the opportunity! I could use all the help I can get!
I can use all the help I can get! Thanks!
I think the biggest issue for me is the level of patience {or lack of it} that I have with my kids when they are fighting over something-ages 4, 3 and 2 years.
My biggest challenge is finding the right words or verses to say to help train their hearts. Sometimes I just want to say “stop that because I said so,” instead of helping them work out what is going on and point them to Christ.
There are alot of challenges right now, but I think the hardest is adjusting my responses to my different children. All 4 of my children are so very different and they do not respond the same way to my responses and actions. I am finding it hard to change my thinking for every child and give them what they need not what I want to tell or give them.
Being all my children need to each one; I have 4 boys ages 15, 12, 7 and almost 2. They all need different parts of me and it is tricky to find the parts needed that seem to change day to day.
my biggest challenge is whining “i don’t WANT to!!!”
My biggest challenge right now is finding the balance between showing grace and holding them accountable. My kiddos are 7,5,4,1 and I want to be gracious and merciful but at the same time let them know that they are accountable and responsible for their actions. This seems ridiculously tough for me right now…
My biggest challenge as a parent is keeping my cool, and patience with the craziness of 3 kids under 4! I would love to win this webinar!
My oldest not wanting to listen to my guidance when it comes to schoolwork and one of my other sons being overly emotional.
My biggest challenge in parenting was when our children would get to the day after homeschool graduation and then want to begin the life of an adult. They want to still be parented but really want to make grown up decisions but yet still may not be ready for the consequences of those “I can do it by myself” decisions. It has been a hard time to let them go when I am almost certain the mistakes and failures will come and the pain will be more than they can bear. My husband and I began the preparation for that day all during their young lives, but to let them teater on the edge of the nest with no life experience and near-sighted vision can tear at a mother’s heart. But, God’s Grace has brought us through 22-years of home education and 4 out of the 5 married now and this last one has graduated and is gearing up to run into adulthood. Thank you for your encouraging site. May God give you strength and guidance and endurance along your journey.
Patience, for sure.
My biggest problem is keeping my calm. and trying to train the oldest two to do what is asked. 🙁
Having my kids quit fighting.
Wow this is just what I am needing right now. My daughter turned 1 and any parenting tips would be great!
Biggest challenge of parenting is knowing how to train and discipline in love.
I struggle with patience-which as Scripture reads, is a lack of love. I’m selfish by nature and don’t fight hard enough against my sin to love them more than I love myself:(
It’s so hard to deal with moments that need discipline when discipleship hasn’t been done!!!
My biggest challenge is not yelling and becoming frustrated.
Blended family of his and ours. Honor students to Special Olympians to potty training a “wild” and over emotional one. Older ones came to live with us after the courts ruled it an “emergency situation.”
Getting time to do the thing I need to do that don’t involve my kids
