I know it's hard sometimes... What they say may seem ridiculous... But you have to remember, they care about you. Instead of directly disobeying them, take some time to talk with them. IF they get into a fury of some sort, give them a gentle hug and tell them that you love them. Listen to your parents, even if what they say seems absurd. They have a lot more experience. Think how you'll be years from now when you're a parent. People are not perfect. You have to acknowledge that. God loves us. Our parents love us. God puts people above us for a reason. Instead of trying to go against them, you should go along. WWJD is a very common symbol. Unfortunately, it is often overlooked. That is what the Bible is for. So we can see what Jesus actually did. So talk the issue over with your parents. Nobody screams, nobody yells. Acknowledge your faults if you have them. Don't blame everything on them, or on yourself. If they begin to spew all these things about how bad you are, simply acknowledge it. Even if it's a little off, just take it. Don't correct them while they're talking, especially in a situation like that.
Remember that God puts us all where we are for a reason. God doesn't make mistakes, He made you, and your parents. So nobody is or was ever a mistake.

I agree. They do have a lot more experience. But understand this. Sometimes, us as human beings can't let go of our pride. Sometimes it something we can't control. But yea, we're all trying..
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young I used to talk to my parents quite a bit. Now, I've kinda walked another path. Even though I'm homeschooled, my mom and I don't click very well. We'll see how it goes now....there's one more year left. I'm learning how to take this one year into good use cause I know that it'll fly past me without me even knowing. I know that this year won't be much so I'm making my best out of it.
I appreciate you reading my blogs and giving me a response. This is the reason I post on my blog. Usually, my friends read it and give me an immediate response. It helps me a lot to go through my life. Just wanted to let you know, your actions that you do for me are seen by me and also appreciated. Thanks.
Humans can let go of pride. It CAN be done. It HAS been done. Just do it. Can't say we're trying and not do anything. Remember, your mother loves you and really cares for you. She raised you... It's not easy being a mother.
ReplyDeleteAny time you feel like talking about an issue, talk. Friends don't give the best advice. God does. Spend time to talk with him by yourself, not on the computer or with your friends. Or you can do it with your parents and your siblings too.
^^ Just a real quick response. My siblings are like friends too....sometimes worse than going to friends...haha just a heads up. but yeah. sometimes they're good too.
