This is my story, this is my song. Praising my Savior all the day long.

The reality of God’s grace overwhelms me as I survey the passing years, the sweet fruit in my kid’s lives, and the painful days of lack when I had so seemingly little to offer them.

God met me in my famine and fed me bread from heaven.

I can still hear the faint voices of those who said, “You are so idealistic, Denise. A dreamer. Give it up. Come talk to me in twenty years when reality has hit you.”

Here I sit, 4 decades later, mere humans tried to prophesy my failure and quench my fire, but I must tell you, ‘God is not a man that He should lie,’ in my book and according to Numbers 23:19.

Stand on the Rock of Christ, and you will not be put to shame.

Isaiah 61:9 promises us, “Their descendants will be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the LORD has blessed.”

The reality is “Oh, how big our God is if we will dare to believe Him to work through our frail human flesh!”

So many parenting books are a checklist of righteous acts, but if we rest on our own strength, our own ideas of right and wrong, we will bring legalism into our homes. We will lose our kids. We will produce cynical, tired, rebellious offspring.

We must be Word-directed, Spirit-led and not led by our best moral law and society’s standards.

I couldn’t produce my sons’ particular strengths, giftings, and capabilities. If this was something I could do, then I would tell you how good I am.
This is where we lean on Him and say, “It is Jesus!”

I know in my flesh dwells no good thing.
I know that I live right where you live, behind the same front doors, behind the same window blinds, facing similar challenges and slaying common giants.

I know my weaknesses.

BUT I know HIS power and all Glory goes to Him for any good thing you learn from me or read in my book.

Why does it seem like so few of our youth have any substance to them? Shallow is how I sum up the masses I meet here and there all over America and across the globe.
I’m not saying they’re stupid, incapable, or uneducated. By far, they are the most “educated” of all generations.
But their huge, God-given potential remains largely untapped.
They are skating on the surface of life. The veneer of their person, that thin ornamental coating giving them a superior appearance, is only a superficial layer covering an inferior reality.
This under-developed generation seems to be motivated only by what they can touch, taste, see, smell, or hear.
They are propelled by pleasure at every level.
Parents and educational systems have not only allowed this condition, but encouraged it. “How?” you might ask.
Consider the mom or dad who is overly impressed with our sophisticated sports culture, high academic achievement, or the importance of social status. Their focus on these extremely flimsy surface issues is interpreted by their kids as paramount.
It becomes the goal, the focus, and the unhealthy measure of value for that young man or woman.
These temporal, unbiblical values then take precedence over the substantial and eternally lasting issues of life.
The importance of a daily prayer life, study of God’s Word, godly character development, strong convictions, and an active kingdom-building and evangelistic lifestyle are what ought to reign supreme.
When Mom’s concern is over hair, dress, make-up, figure, and Susie’s need for friends, then Susie’s life will be built upon the sands of these fleeting and fickle surface issues.

Her time, talk, and thoughts will center on these relatively unimportant matters. Chasing after brand names, popularity, possessions, “freedom,” independence, sleek vehicles and social status is all such a huge waste of time.

Encouraging such temporal frivolities will prove to be a poison injected into the very fiber of our children’s being.

Parents, we must go deeper.

I’m no green thumb.

As much as I love the smell of soil and the satisfaction of weeding a flower bed, my feeble efforts have provided very little lasting bounty over the years, but I’m passionate about gardening the next generation - those eternal souls with infinite potential who will tower over us like giant oaks one day soon.

I believe it’s up to us parents to garden our children’s lives in such a way that they, too, flourish like a productive field.

They should yield abundant fruit and ample provision to share with the masses, thus becoming a blessing to nations!

What are we doing with this fertile soil, teeming with the richness of God’s natural resource?

We had to continually hoe, fertilize, and prune our living plants-building a work ethic, brotherly love, servant heartedness; confronting those pesky weeds that want to choke the God-life from our kids and our homes!

How many youngsters, left to themselves, never had their soil carefully tended or their multiple and diverse weeds addressed?

What we overlook today in our offspring will surely produce a crop we’re forced to deal with later.

That little seed of stubbornness we repeatedly ignore, will grow and multiply if left long enough. The end result will be an unmanageable teenager who was left unrestrained and ‘had his way’ as a preschooler.

Work your land while time is on your side.
When children are young and flexible like tender shoots, it’s relatively easy to stake those vines and adjust their growth pattern.

But when we ignore faults and offenses, saying, “They’re just kids,” “Boys will be boys,” or “It’s child’s play,” we fail to see sin as a snare, a deadly pattern which we are encouraging and actually training into our young plantings.

Proverbs 19:18 urges us to, “discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death.”

How detrimental these flaws will become to our children if left to flourish! If only we could see the end result from our patterns of parenting, rather than live for the moment.

Have you ever pondered how hard real life is?

Adulting isn’t Easy Street no matter how gorgeous, gifted, rich or influential you are.

The human condition is imperfect, fragile and life is filled with infuriating, unthinkable and surprising strrruggllles.

The tropical storm that hit us this weekend was a drag. Even worse? The anxiety and the hours and hours of clean up.

Ya know who showed up to pray, help, clean, grab us some groceries and find us the tools we needed to overcome the unfortunate circumstances?

Our sons and daughters.

They run to our rescue and work for free. They pray continually for us and check in.

That golden character wasn’t mined by us spoiling them rotten and making life a picnic for them when they grew up.

We (reluctantly) allowed life’s natural struggles to touch them; their required responsibilities as a ‘Mira team member’ built muscle in their bodies and in their character; and the inevitable disappointments life presented on occasion worked tenacity in their temperaments.

We wonder why we have such poor service and workmanship at nearly every business we visit, from fast food restaurants and government agencies to department stores and gas stations, yet we continue to breed party animals.

Throughout our world today, indulgence is ruining an entire generation.

We say we want our kids to be men and women who will stand strong, but we are raising rock stars.

“Sure, you can play some more X-Box.”
“Oh baby, here’s some cash for you to go see that new R-rated movie!”
“Oh honey, just go and I’ll clean it up for you.”
“Oh sweetheart, I’ll feed the dog.”
“You’re too tired from football practice, you don’t have to read the Word tonight.”

We are feeding a monster.

When we don’t have the guts to impose our higher values upon our sons and daughters, we find it easier to indulge their lower natures.

And if we don’t parent them now, we will be parenting forever.

I am not a system chick.

I don’t like the system and the system doesn’t like me.

I’m suspicious of organizations with fancy names boasting expert panels that disseminate advice on nutrition, childhood vaccinations, education, and many other topics regarding “healthy child development,” as they call it.

We agree to disagree on many issues. I wish everyone loved me, but it seems like so many of my beliefs crash headlong into their beautiful fantasies.

Every time I’ve tried to hold hands with Systems, I find myself compromising my core convictions.

Systems are full of experts. What is a so-called expert in our day?

Is he like the Wizard of Oz, who simply paralyzes others in fear and makes them feel like fools?

Is she a scholarly individual with lots of letters behind her name and impressive tenure in the public school system, or an academic who spends life perpetually learning, but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth?

Don’t get me wrong. Experts have their place.

Give me an expert to fly the airplane I’m riding in or to set a broken bone or to repair my vehicle. They are worth their weight in gold.

But when it comes to most of the issues of childrearing, a Ph.D. is not the determining factor for expertise. We need the wisdom of the Maker of the universe, the Author of life.

In the vast majority of matters pertaining to our children, I want to urge you, Mom and Dad: think for yourselves!

Look around and you will see we are currently living in the most anxious depressed suicidal generation in the history of our nation.
Most of these lost souls were nurtured by the System.
Outsourced to experts.
Away from their parents for most of their waking hours.
The proof is in the pudding.

No one but you owns your kids.

Do what you determine is right for your children in accordance with God’s Word and purposes for little Junior.

You are the true experts your kids need, gifted so by God, with or without a doctorate in higher education!

We reproduce what we are in our kids. What we live, not what we believe, will come to life in them. We have to face the fact that God does not create ordinary children.It is parents who create ordinary children. Spiritually dull parents cannot see beyond the surface of things; they think too little of their offspring and unknowingly dwarf their children’s destinies with small mindedness, tiny faith, and no vision. In the words of A.T. Robertson, “More children are cursed into the world than blessed, because of the parents they were given.”I’m deeply distressed as I ponder the waste of substance never carefully considered, measured, and combined to create a successful end product in the mass of kids in our culture. How troubling to survey the discombobulated result, so dwarfed by the clumsy, foolish hands of sincere, but not devout parents! Anguish fills my soul as I surmise what may result. What fruit is yet to be born by such a youngster? I can’t help but imagine his life is a seedbed of sin and troubles galore, just waiting to manifest. We wisely look into the mirror of God’s Word and ponder our condition. Is it time for a change? Am I potentially dwarfing the destinies of my children by the way I’m living my life? We’ve got to come to the table with something more than what we’re asking from them. We’ve got to practice what we preach. https://www.skool.com/denise-mira-parenting

Have you slipped into a casual approach to your parenting?

Going with the flow, just keeping your nose above the water?

It’s easy to forget that you are in an epic battle and your kids are the prize.

40% high inflation. Insecure borders. Gender ‘confusion.’ Men bashing. Abortion on demand. Alcohol infused everything. Divorce epidemic. Fentanyl. P**n.

Connect all the dots and you’ll see: it all leads to stealing your most precious treasure. Your priceless, miraculous children who have an unimaginable future and divine destiny written over their lives.

All the distractions, the anxiety, the chaos, the busyness takes its toll and before you know it, your kids take a back seat to life’s drama and the bills screaming for attention.

Perhaps at one time you endeavored to hold your standards high, but somehow you’ve drifted back into the mainstream’s lazy river, losing ground with your children.

God wants you to experience the fulfillment of your longings for your children.

But first you must choose to shift gears from cruiser to conqueror!

In our day, demonic aggressors are pursuing the next generation, our sons and daughters.

They have declared war on our kids.

It’s not that life is simply strewn about with potholes and a few land mines to avoid, but I believe with all my heart there are aggressive enemies on the forefront that are after our kids!

Today I’m reminding you that you have the power to intercept and dismantle the enemy’s strategy for your children.

We must refuse to make peace with any unacceptable condition in our children when God would tell us to make war against it.

We must fight in the country, in the city, in the suburbs, at the beach, at the mall, in our schools, and in our own front and back yards.

He awaits our action and will back us up, you can be assured.

If this aligns with your values, I’d love to have you jump into my Revolutionary Parenting Skool Community where I’ll be encouraging and equipping more and more parents who want MORE than mainstream parenting hacks.

Do you need faith to live your daily life?

My faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is, was and will always be absolutely essential.
VITAL.

There is nothing natural in me that can raise a good kid.

I am dependent on God to achieve anything good in my life and in my parenting. Psalms 16:2 confirms that fact. You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.

This series is about raising extraordinary kids - leaders in their generation. And here’s the deal:

I truly believe that the power to raise leaders has to come from deliberate, active, day-at-a-time faith in God.

Without faith it is impossible to please God and I’m persuaded that without faith it is impossible to raise extraordinary kids!
Prove me wrong.
I’m waiting.😉

AND…Real faith requires ACTION to become legitimate.

This simple formula has carried me, hour by hour, day by day, year by year and it has never failed me:

Spend time in His presence daily, marinate in His Word, listen intently for His voice with a heart full of faith, get busy endeavoring to live out what He’s shown me, expect miracles - repeat!

God does not answer EMOTION. He answers FAITH, and faith is demonstrated by action.

Feelings are talked about and valued much these days.
Many people FEEL a lot.

The problem comes when they think FEELING is the same as DOING OR BEING.

They strongly FEEL the desire to raise godly children.

They are CONVINCED they don’t want average kids.

Most parents I know would be deeply SORROWFUL if their sons and daughters took a wrong path, or went astray.

We have lots of emotional people all over the globe who aren’t having an impact in their childrearing.
They fuss, freak, whine, and cry all day, but God hasn’t taken notice. His Word clearly says, Faith without works is dead (James 2:26, NKJV). He notices and answers faith that is measured by action.

Is it time to push re-start on your faith mom? Dad? Hit me up I’m here for you.

I’ve opened a Skool community called Revolutionary Parenting for parents who align with the values I’m sharing and who long for more in their kids than they’re seeing in the mainstream…drop a comment if you’re interested 😊 https://www.skool.com/denise-mira-parenting
