The Learned

Tell him stories of standing up for his faith, of martyrs in the past and in the New Testament. And the verses: if you deny me before men, I will deny you. And "take up your cross and follow me" and "he who has lost houses, or mothers or brothers for my sake". All these are important lessons -- more important than English or Math, because their eternal lives depend on it.  Also, if after all that, he is feeling ashamed, remind him of how Jesus still accepted Peter after Peter denied him 3 times, asking him to feed His lambs and sheep. There's still hope. 

Looking for recommendations for good family values to focus on for next year? Here's my two cents: I think this is something to pray about and ask God to show you and your husband for this year. We don't know what's coming in the year ahead but God knows and He will prepare us for it way ahead of time so when the time comes, our kids are well grounded.

It's the same game. The rate of reproduction will never match up to the rate of immigration. These abortions are just making it worse. And with all these young kids butchering their reproductive organs and eating hormone blocking pills, etc. It's the world's first self ethnic cleansing regime. Not just suicidal culture but culture suicide, not just cancel culture but a self-cancelled culture.

I'm sorry. The pain is real. Unfortunately, only time can heal. The amount of time your relationship lasted for is usually the amount of time you would need to get back on your feet....  My advice:  1. Stay away from other guys for now, let it heal, or you'll end up in another relationship prematurely. 2. Spend time with the Lord and let Him be the One. 3. Be patient and let time heal it. 4. Meanwhile, do that which makes you happy. Even if it means finding a hobby or playing a favorite game. Get your mind off it. What you need to do eventually: 1. Get rid of everything he gave you, delete all his photos and photos of you together. It's called getting rid of soul ties. 2. Let him go. Imagine shutting the door and sending him into outer space or something.

Read 'Wild at Heart' by John Eldredge They don't like to be challenged, I think not. More like, needing us to build their confidence by saying, "You can do it." and "You have what it takes." and needs to be said by the father or a man they look up to. I'll need to explain -- there's something about guys that need to know if they have what it takes to be a man. And that needs to come from another man. The book also talks about gender assurance, and how the X and Y chromosomes are determined by the man. That's why men have a certain authority when it comes to gender assurance, on both sons and daughters. When dad says, "You have what it takes" to his son or "You are beautiful" to his daughter, it has a greater impact on gender assurance than if Mom were to say it. It's a powerful book. I highly recommend it. The opposite is true, tho -- without a father or father figure in their lives, boys feel that they don't have ...

Learn a new way to prayer. Intercession is standing in the gap as we know it. And what that may look like sometimes will sound something like this, "As my daughter, (insert name here), I apologize for my wrong behavior. And I ask You Lord Jesus to come into my life and make all things new. Please transform my heart and mind. Help me to know You as my Lord and Savior, as my Father and as my best Friend. Please show Yourself real to me. I really need You today." And pray that everyday. We are not fighting against flesh and blood but principalities and powers and rulers of darkness. Secondly, my suggestion is homeschool.
