Communication.Parents.Life

Recently, have been thinking about some things. Shared with a couple of closer peeps. Decided it was time to tell the parents about it. So on a random night, i told my parents over dinner. Their response hit me. like it was kind of an objection.
That night, i couldn't really sleep. =(
It's kind of the first time my parents actually was 'against' my idea. Then i realised how important my parents' approval was to me in all decisions in my life. So far, i treat all decisions (big or small) i make rather seriously.
The next day, when my dad picked me after work to head home together, he asked me again about my decision. Then i explained myself, where i was heading, why i decided, choices available; etc. Then he understood. That night, he told my mom 'She wants XXX, just let her try.' So, i can see that mommy's worried and scared like for me. But she agreed that I should just give it a shot.
and i slept that night, soundly and smiling :)

What i'm trying to say is, i feel that communication with your parents are very important. and sometimes when they just don't understand, give them some time, then try again. i mean, they're young once, they should know where we're coming from. i always encourage my friends (when they share things with me) to inform their parents about life's decisions. and i know, every family has their story to tell, not all's the same, but with parents' support in the things that you do, it really encourages and holds you. Even if sometimes, they really know that it's a decision wrongly made, lessons are learnt. whether it's a good decision or a bad decision. that's the most important ain't it? :) i must remember this when i have my own kids to tend to. :)

cheers :)

When we as God’s children are living in faith, we can have an exciting expectancy and a quiet confidence that God will give us exactly what we need, when we need it (Matt. 7:8-11).

When with expectancy we pray
According to God’s will,
We’ll see Him working in our lives
His purpose to fulfill.
