Luluspov – Parenting with grace
Parenting with Grace is challenging me daily to be more conscious of what I say to my children to make sure that what I say does not wound or influence the way they view themselves and the world.

Growing up I have always been that child who missed out on school because of sicknesses. My early years I struggled with Epistaxis (nosebleed), later on, I had Asthma and other complications. I firmly believe that it was because of
Grace that I was saved.
When I was 15 years old, I went through struggles in my life and one day I decided to take my life. I…
Few months after my husband and I got married, some people started asking us when we having a baby. *rolls her eyes* we just smiled and continued with our lives.
I remember a older woman I barely had conversations with, called me up during lunch at church. She said I should turn around, and I did without putting much thought into her order. Then she hugged me from behind, pressed my tummy so…
