I want to praise my Husband today for the special time He gave me and my daughter this past weekend. For the last couple of weeks, I would get messages from my daughter that is very out of character for her. She send me messages telling me that she misses me, that she wants to bake cookies with me (something she never showed any interest in) and crying when her dad came to pick them up the previous long weekend, begging me to stay longer (but alone, so she can spend time with me). I got very worried because this is out of character for her, but I have been asking my Husband to reveal anything that I must know.
There were also some things my son said that really upset me a bit, but I took it to my Husband because in the flesh there is nothing I can do about it. I can only give it to Him because He is the only one that can act in the situation, it is nothing major, but it still upset me as his mother.
Because my fh saw how my daughter cried when he came to pick them up, we agreed to arrange a weekend when she could visit me alone so we can spend mother and daughter time together. So this past weekend I went to pick her up from school, the schools closed for the Easter school holiday, it broke my heart to leave my son there, but my HH arranged it in such a way that he had a playdate with his friend and he was so exited to go that he just greeted me and ran off.
I took her to get Burger King (which she loves) at a small mall close to home, then we went to get ingredients to bake cookies and I was able to buy her underwear and a jersey she wanted. When we got home we baked the cookies and then watched movies together. The next day I took her to another mall where we had breakfast before we went to the stores to buy them some winters clothing, but she couldn’t find things she really liked and then we drove to another mall about 80 km away. There she found things she really liked, and I felt so blessed to be able to buy it for her.
When we got home we were very tired and just spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing and watching more movies. The next day we baby sat a friend of mine’s baby girl because they were busy moving, and it was so beautiful to see how protective my daughter was of this little girl, always sitting with her. My fh brought my son during the day and I could only laugh at his reaction to the baby…basically running away from her, but later he also started to play with her.
I was also able to take my children to an indoor trampoline park, and this time I jumped with them and me and my son did some wall climbing as well.
My daughter never opened up about anything bothering her, but I didn’t push her to talk to me, I just spend the time with her and asked my Husband to let her open up if there is something she wants to share with me. But, and I want to thank my HH for it, I was able to spoil her a bit and hold her when we watched movies, sowing some seeds in her heart about her HF and just being with her and spending alone time with her.
This is beautiful Adina!!! How The Lord is backing you up!! After reading your custody novel, this praise is just a huge confirmation on how our Beloved is turning your children hearts to you and Him!!
All the worries you had are being vanished by these acts!! She wants her mom, she loves you and you are very important to her!!
I am so happy that you are showing her the love she needs and just being the fun mom now!! You are her safe zone always and the fact that He gave you both that much need time alone, is amazing!!
I enjoyed very much reading how you are getting closer and you are planting seeds of His love to her!!
This is a shower of blessings that you are enjoying because you were obedient!! Be blessed my dear!!
Thank you for sharing!!
Yes, I can truly say all the fears I had vanished. Yes there are some things that are bothering me, but I know my Husband will take care of it, I must just leave it in their Heavenly Fathers capable hands \o/\o/
Yes. The FUN 🥳 mom. Oh how I remember trying to compensate for the lack of teaching, training and disciplining that only served to keep widening the gap until my Husband opened my eyes. Becoming a fun mom that’s not like a dad and spending one on one time will remain with your daughter forever. Bless you both 🤗🤗🤗
Yes I think it’s easy to try and compensate for a lot of things in these situations, and in the beginning of my journey I was also trying to compensate for their hurt, feeling guilty for the situation they are in. But He showed me that there can be good coming from the situation, the lesson in Course 2 on H@L where you make lists of positives and negatives really helped me a lot. And as a mother having these fun moments with my children are special to me as well, because I know its not going to be long before I am going to be the teacher etc. again, since Homeschooling is now being brought up more and more from my fh side, and me moving closer to help the children in the afternoons until homeschooling becomes a reality. \o/\o/
The time you spent with your daughter dear Adina is so very special, thank you for sharing.
Oh Adina, the moment I started reading your praise, I had tears in my eyes. What an amazing time He gave you and your daughter together. I am so encouraged by all your praises and I know that He is going to do such an amazing thing in your life that we will not believe it when we see it. ❤️
Thank you Yvonne, yes these times are so precious with our daughters, especially at this age where there are so many changes going on in their bodies. My heart broke for my daughter when I received these messages, I could hear the sadness in her voice. But I know He has an amazing plan for us.\o/\o/
What a joy, dear Adina, to have these moments alone with your daughter. Our Beloved really knows how to grant unique moments between us and our children, and his weekend was further proof of the great blessings He has bestowed on you and your family.
I love reading about your journey, and your reports always help and encourage me, for you are a blessed Bride.
I’m so happy for both of you more Blessings are on their way for you. I know as mom when things goes a way we don”t expect, or we just don’t know what is goin on can be very upsetting, but let’s see them as trial also knowing that we will learn something from them and He will continue to overflow His blessing over you and your daughter will cherish every mom-daughter time she gets to spend with you, those will be her stories and memories to share in the future with others. the time i spend with My mom is all in our home we didn’t do much getting out some picnic trips yes, but the time we share in the kitchen( for most of the times) and cleaning and she teaching me to wash back in the days which by the way I didn’t like (and still don’t like to wash our do laundry) but i always remember what I learned and share it with my nieces n son, specially her daily phrases on life.
Even though your daughter didn’t share what’s going on she feel good to know mommy has her back.
I finally managed to come and read your Praise Adina and how lovely!!! l even had toblaugh at your son running away from the baby 🤣 im si glad you got to spend this wonderful time with your daughter that she needed 😍
