Answers to Prayer

Heavenly Father sent hope, love, and direct answers to my prayers and fasting.  I was reminded Heavenly Father lives me even though I struggle. He is willing and able to help me. I must turn to Him in every thought. I must humble myself.

I was reminded to parent as a true teacher and leader not a dictator.  I must encourage not humiliate, train not reprimand. I must search for the positive and let them know I noticed it. You are their friend not their enemy. You are their champion (advocate) and fan. Build them up! Give them the benefit of the doubt. Forgive and forget, so we don't get trapped in the same old problems. Let them be themselves & love them. Stop trying to remake them and just love them where they are right now. Accept and adore, comfort and cuddle. Let them save face like you would to friends, extended family, or strangers. Tone it down & don't take everything so serious. Teach them correct principles and let them given themselves.

Stop with the pride and comparison. Be grateful to the Lord and your family for what you have right now. There it's so very much! Don't worry about what others think. If they don't understand you or your lifestyle or why you are so happy and so at peace, so what. Focus on what matters not on opinions. Live as if opinions didn't exist. Just do your best and enjoy it! The world will never understand why you are so happy, so don't ruin your happiness by trying to get or do the things the world tells you should bring happiness. You have peace and tranquility so don't abandon it to look normal or successful. Don't try to explain it just let them wonder why you are so completely happy and joyful.

Don't stress about businesses. Put first things first and Heavenly Father will take care off the rest. Pray for help and work hard and try knew things. But don't feel bad if you can't accomplish it all. You have a once in a lifetime experience to raise these little ones. Don't ruin it by thinking you are falling because you haven't started a Fortune 500 company this year. Just do the really important things first (because time is limited & you have a houseful of extremely important people you may only do the really important things & not have resources left for second tier items.) That's totally okay! Be content to do what the Lord has given you strength, time, money, and other resources to do. Be diligent! But if you are doing your best be thrilled with the progress in your corner of the vineyard.
