Submissiveness for my parents can be so hard to learn. I am having such a rough time learning to be respectful and submissive at the same time towards my parents. There are so many things I want to be doing (College for example) but because my parents dont think it's the best option, I am not doing these things. I know that they want what is best for me and my future, but in some areas I keep having these thoughts that they do not. And yes, you could probably say that is the devil trying to get me to do just the opposite that my parents and God want. I want to learn, and hopefully perfect, how to be submissive and respectful to them, especially my dad, because I realize that I will always be under someone's authority (whether that be my dad, husband, goverment, God, ect) and I'm guessing it's easier to learn now in my home than later on... I dont want to "learn later when I'm married" - that would probably ruin my relationship with my husband!
Anyways, I just needed to vent this morning =)
I promise, my life is not a huge mess!! It's actually a big learning classroom (so to speak) that I am in right now ... it's crazy but it's awesome at the same time. I am learning so much and I am holding my Heavenly Father's hand the whole way. Some VERY interesting things have come up, I've been involved in a lot of new experiences, had some hard challenges on the way, and so much more. But it's all a learning process and also a character builder too.
In Christ, SLR
