I can't wait until you have children and they give you back what you gave me...
That is one of my least favorite statements EVER! My family can tell you I was the child voted most likely to be in trouble, amongst all of the children in my family. I talked back, I got in trouble at school, I didn't do my chores correctly, I hung out with my friends without permission.....long story short I wasn't the best behaved child. As a result of my behavior I was punished almost always; I was beat, things were taken away from me, extracurricular actives were cut out, vacations were missed and I spent lots of time in my room when my cousins and siblings were hanging out and enjoying each other. WHY would anyone wish a parent or child to go through those experiences?
I find this commonly used phrase, I can't wait until you have children and they give you back what you gave me, to be very ignorant. Not to mention often times those are the very same people that are also praying against generational curses. How does that work exactly!? On one hand you’re praying against the repeat of a particular behavior, while on the other hand you’re not so secretly hoping for the vindictive return of said behavior.
There is power in whatever you speak into the atmosphere and over my children I choose to speak positive. They won't go through what I have. They will be better than the child I was and become better than the woman I've become. They won't constantly be led by their pain and shame. They won’t be taken advantage of because they are somewhere they aren't supposed to be. They won't go to bed crying all night because even though in their heart there is a desire to do good, evil is always in their way. Their light will shine bright for the world to see. They will encourage others and themselves. They will be at the top of their classes and be respected and respectful. They won't only have beauty and brains, but they will also dance like angels or play an instrument with the perfect melody. They will either be the best debater on the debate team or a leader on the board of the student counsel. Or maybe eyes haven't seen nor has it entered into the heart of man who they will become.

If this how you rant keep ranting! I see some of my less than becoming ways in my eldest son and that pushes me to be better. My babies have purpose to address no time to hangout with generational curses!!
ReplyDeleteYes friend, no time for hangout w/ generational curses!!!
DeleteYesss I hate when people day this it's first of an insult and it's just plain annoying
ReplyDeleteGirl, super annoying and even worst when they say it in front of Aiyanna.
DeleteI felt myself going into that dangerous path (it took a lot of time and people to help me realize lol) but i wanted something better for myself. Now I'm at the top of my class and dancing my heart out showing the world my insecurities. Your blogs will surely keep me on that track, you inspire me and keep me in awe from your braveness. I love you and remember God is on your side. Hugs and smiles, Brianna (Kathlene's daughter) :)
ReplyDeleteI have tears in my eyes. My whole reasoning for sharing my insecurities, my faults and struggle is to show that there's always better with God. No matter where you are or where you've been your tomorrow can be better. I'm a walking billboard of "but God". I'm so happy that you've turned your life around! Regardless of where your path started, everything works out for the good of them that love the lord. I love you more and if you ever need me feel free to contact me.
DeleteI kno that's right; I speak over my girls lives all the time. They will be better, do better, have better than I did!!
ReplyDeleteYes friend our babies will be better then we could even imagine
