Subject: How can I deal with this child in love? |
Bible Note: Hi MattieP! It's amazing how God works and how he works things or situations out because I been praying to him about this situation.He has truly been helping me along this treachous path the enemy has set up, trying to deceive me in her behaviour.I told her why she is beening discipline and explaining to her every step so that she don't get it mistaken as NOONE loves me ideal, you know what I'm saying.The baffling part of this is after her and I had a long long long long long long longggg conversation about what have happen the other day and does she understand the consequences of the "her bad choices" she had made and she said "yes".Two days later after the lonnnnnnnnnng talk she did it again something "Foul" and lied again about it and I JUST GOT REALLY ANGRY because we had just sat down and had a long discussion about her telling truth and the bad habits she had picked up back home (Texas),we in Florida.I couldn't understand why is this happening like this.I said to myself that something is TRULY WRONG, here.I went to praying and told God that he has to help me and help me RIGHT AWAY! This not working because I'm thinking she is understanding me and I extending my heart, time, effort and trying to love her and it is not easy @ this point.I feel like I can't deal with this ANYMORE! It's overwhelming, and I pray God lead me to the rock that is higher than I for thou has been a shelter before and I need him to shelter me NOW and I mean RIGHT NOW!!! I'm not going to lie to you, but @ this point I have not got to the point of telling her that I Love her just yet.She knows that I truly care for her and she knows her father loves her, but as for me, right now I can't come out in tell her yet that I love her because right now it's now true.I'm learning her and it's getting better, but in the meantime it's difficult to express the motherly love she needs right now and I'm just telling you the truth.I care for her! I don't trust her because she lies sooooooooo much and I don't believe nothing she says because she lies soooooooooooooooo much and I don't like for her to even be around me when she does get like that. I'm constantly praying that God continue to give me what to say to her and how to handle her each day because it's going to take one day @ a time.And I know one day I will be able to actually tell that little girl that I love her and truly mean it with "ALL OF MY HEART"!! |
