Parenting with God series 4

The next thing I realized in my parenting with God is on the issue of house help. If you have followed my posts for a while you will know my struggles before I started having them. I remember telling a friend, no food disturbs or affect me in pregnancy when we were discussing some food “forbidden” for pregnant women. I told her, I declare over my food: “the earth is the Lord and the fullness thereof, so, food you are a blessing to me and my baby.” She said, ‘Ha! Even for food?’ I shrugged and replied, ‘it works for me.’ 🤷🏼‍♀️

What do you see? Do you, and what works for you. These apply to the issue of house help. When I realized I was going to have them I went searching for scriptures on it. If God has provided everything the child would need through life, then it means there is a provision for help too (it can be in the form of driver, security man, cook e.t.c)

Most of my friends are used to hearing me say, ‘God has placed people already on the way, even though the current person leaves, the next person would be better.’ The world is becoming too funny to base my choice of a stranger in my home on physical attributes/doctors report alone. My trust is not in them, but God that brought them. I currently have one (who is a blessing), but I am already praying to be positioned to meet the next one because I know a time would come for her to leave of her free will.

In parenting with God on issues of help, God is the agent who screens and the One who tells them when it’s time to go, in peace. When we were relocating, I had one who had agreed to move with us, but two days to our departure, I went to God and apologized for taking matters into my hands without consulting Him, He should take over if she was not supposed to come with us. That night, she told me she had changed her mind without a valid reason.

I also remember having one who travelled for the holidays, I had no issue with her, but I kept getting the impression that her time was up, so I told God to please hold her back if she was not to return. Long story short, she went AWOL a few days to her return.

I cannot be at home 24/7, neither will I out of fear subject myself to doing everything by myself (can I do it? Yes. Will I do it? No.) I report to the landlord for access to what is provided because I am part of the things that need to be taken care of.
