It’s fine to allow girls to grow up too quickly!

Why is this a common misconception for so many? I was reading over some Facebook posts earlier this evening and I kept reading the same thing over and over. “I have to get ready for our Valentine’s Day party for school tomorrow,” or, “I am stressed and trying to find a few more Valentine’s Day games for my first grader’s party tomorrow.” I am just a little beside myself why schools would push the idea of romance to school aged children.
Forget just the parties though. Tonight while at the mall with my daughter, I saw a young girl who looked to be maybe 17 years old. She had on a low cut shirt, with a much older looking boyfriend hanging all over her. Her shirt was so low that it was completely obvious that she had had cosmetic surgery on her breasts. I mean, they seriously looked fake. My first thought was, why would a parent think that was okay? An article from Focus on the Family highlights this very thing. Many parents don’t realize what they are doing to their daughters by allowing boob or nose jobs, immodest clothing or even recreational dating.
Recently I have felt the urgency to educate myself more on this topic, as I have a daughter who is quickly approaching the stages where many other parents check out. I don’t want to be one of those parents. My daughter is too important. I want to raise her to be a pure and holy daughter for the King. This is a very huge burden and undertaking for me, especially with the world in which we live. I have begun reading articles and having the much needed conversations with my daughter. I take great pride in knowing I do not have to do this alone. I have many family members, friends and resources around to help keep me encouraged and provide me with many great ideas. Our church, Stones Crossing Church has an annual Royal Sleepover where girls first through fourth grade learn the importance of living a pure and holy life for the King. What a blessing to belong to a church who is willing to partner with me in this responsibility.
I am willing to do what it takes and to be the outcast to dispel this misconception. It is not okay for girls to grow up too quickly. It’s time for all of us to put on the brakes.

While this isn’t a common misconception, it is my misconception. I just looked over the little writing that I have actually done, and realized that the reason I even started this blog in the first place is because we all have misconceptions. I know that my perception of subjects, current events or ideas aren’t going to match up with everyone else, but I would like to offer my opinions.
So, I have decided I am going to try (try being the operative word) to be more committed to write more regularly on this blog.
Just as a reminder, the titles of my blogs are THE misconception and usually not HOW I actually feel.
Let the blogging begin.

The Wii Is Not For Mii!

Really! How could anyone think that the Nintendo Wii isn’t the best thing next to sliced bread? I obviously am spilling yet another Ms.Conception! I can’t tell you how much fun our family has had on the Nintendo Wii. My daughter who absolutely hates sports loves boxing of all things. While I will have to say, her form is quite funny, she usually comes out the victor, and it is cute as all get out to watch her.
My son is quite the baseball player and bowler. The competition rises everytime our family takes part in a game or two. We also sit in front of the tv and sing with the High School Musical game! We have enjoyed it very much and would recommend it to everyone!
The Nintento Wii is tons of fun for the entire Familii, try it and you will Sii!
