My faith journey and how my kids are watching
Growing up my family was super religious in a way that felt forced and judgmental. I walked away from it for years. But after having kids I felt this pull back toward faith, just a more honest version. I'm realizing now that my kids are watching how I practice faith - whether I'm actually living it or just performing it like my parents did. Trying to find that middle ground of being genuine about my beliefs while not pushing too hard. It's harder than I expected but feels important.
Walking away from what you were raised with and then figuring out what you actually believe takes guts. I respect that you're being intentional about not just repeating the cycle with your kids. That's parenting done right.
