Mother Daughter Bond

Saturday we went to the Parables store, then I found a book that could help me, teach my daughter about her body. The book was The Body, it is part of the Lily series written by Nacy Rue. Talking about this was actually a joy, it wasn't scary or weird. When I said the word period, she laughs. She said she would get used of it and its not that bad right mom, as long as she was prepared with her supplies. Stephen reminded me later that she always wanted to grow up, from even before one, crawling wasn't good, and she was always quick to learn the next things. The benifits of having to go through all of this, is that we are the blessed ones that get to cradle the baby in our womb for 9 months, this is for not for many years, of course, but her body will be in preparation soon. About the word sex, she only know that we are either female or male. I am not ready to talk about this for a long time. Then again I need to to be the first as it creates a positive image, before the negative images are talked about at school or with friends. The innocent mind is easier to teach then one that is polluted by the worlds thinking. Caleb's alphebet that he typed himself. abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Growing Up

Now my daughter is only 9 and a half, we have been noticing latly that she is growing up. I think she is starting the early stages of puberty. Today we noticed a zit on her nose, and we do know she is starting to grow bumps for a few months now. I was never taught anything about my body growing up and I was a scared girl with not many friends I did some reading in teen magazines to find out things about my period and stuff. I want my daughter to feel beautiful but I don't know how to teach beauty when I don't even feel beautiful myself. When should I start teaching her period and what other things do I need to teach her? I have read that it is about 2 years after a girl starts developing that she gets her period. In some ways, this is good, but it still sounds too early. What if I still want her to be my little girl?

Heavenly thoughts

If I could only imagine what I would look like in heaven............I would feel beautiful. In heaven I would dressed up all pure even more beautiful then our earthly brides. I would be shining and glowing and I will be bright as the morning star. All my tears will be wiped away even the happy tears, will turn to Joy. I will be dancing with my father I will see my family all worshiping beside me. We will no longer be bored or worried about tomorrow. The only thing we will want to do is worship and party with our Jesus Christ.

If I can only imagine what heaven would be like for one moment in everyday, the cares of this world will really fade and I will become thankful for what is to come. He is coming back for me, very soon.
