I am Rocking in My school shoes I am sure most parents have either heard of or read a hundred times one of the Pete the Cat’s books. In this house we love Pet the Cat! We love that he decides every day to choose the positive in the moment. He chooses to look at the bright side of things. Jessie loves Pete and often will sing out “I am rocking in my school shoes” or “My buttons, my buttons, my four groovy buttons.” Well, the other day was no different. I am sure most of you can guess our Jessie girl is a free spirit and beats to her own drum (as do Maxson and Aiden). And it’s no different when it comes to her style in clothing. And the fun thing is she Rocks it. Not just in that her mismatched paring of stripes/prints and colors usually work as an outfit, but also in that she just rocks and wears with pride of who she is. I took a mini video of Jessie saying how she was rocking her shoes and watching it made me think to my self, do I Rock who I am? Do I Rock the woman God made and who I am through Jesus. I am the daughter of the most high. I am a sister in Christ who has the Holy Spirit living in my soul. Do I let others know the depth of that? Do I let that shine out as a beacon of light glorifying the one who made me and placed that light in me? Do I Rock this light?! Watching my kids I see this innocence from fear. They live in the comfort of who they are and share it with everyone. As we get older we loose that openness to be ourselves, to be the trueness of our soul. Who starts building up that wall that blocks the light? It’s built by many factors from our past and the fears that creep in. Let’s tear it back down. And let’s teach our kids to never start building that wall in the first place. As a parent, not even thinking about it, we can be handing our children boards, nails and the hammer to which they start hammering away and building board by board, brick by brick, the wall that blocks their inner light or realness of who they are for others to see. We do this by saying “no, you can’t do that. No, you are not old enough to climb that. No, that doesn’t go together.” By our negativity to stop them from doing something either out of the norm or from getting hurt or making us as parents look bad to others, can build that wall. So in the old cliché “BE YOURSELF” and shine in your uniqueness for others to see. Let Jesus be seen through you in your everyday living. In doing so our kids will follow in the path God had planned all along.
