The Seeds We Plant Series #29: When You Love Someone, You Don’t Put Them in a Bad Environment
Posted on February 14, 2024 Leave a Comment
Hi there,
Happy Valentine’s Day to you!
Recently, I watched a YouTube video in which Brian Tracy was a guest, and during his talk, he mentioned how we end up thinking, speaking, and acting like people in our environment. I’ve often written about how an environment can impact our character, especially in raising children. Creating a generational cycle of love involves paying attention to the environments we put ourselves in. Today’s podcast, The Seeds We Plant Series #29, on Create a Generational Love Cycle, centers around something my son said back in November 2023. He said, “When you love someone, you don’t put them in a bad environment.”
Unbeknownst to me, the steps I took in advocating, providing, and securing a quality education became the standards my children used to evaluate their recent public school experience. The standards we set will be our children’s navigation tools throughout their earthly journey. Our beliefs affect our relationships (parenting, employment, significant others/spouses, etc.) Bullying type behavior in any form, domestic, elderly, and other forms of abuse didn’t and don’t happen overnight. Beliefs about ourselves and others play a major role in how we behave and allow others to treat us.
Since returning to online education, I’ve watched my children take control of their education. They write their own notes and work through their educational experiences themselves as much as possible. Both of them help each other understand concepts. They have the balance, flexibility, and freedom to learn in a healthy and safe environment. My children are more confident in knowing they can change a limiting environment to one that is thriving.
This podcast is more than about changing a school environment. As parents, we set the standard for what our children will tolerate, their response, and knowing that they have options and not just see limitations or “This is just the way things are.” With one experience, we can empower, enlighten, and awaken our children. In addition, what we do for them, we end up doing for ourselves.

The Seeds We Plant Series #28: You Have the Right to Be You
Posted on February 8, 2024 Leave a Comment
Hi there!
I hope all is well with you and yours! Underneath all your experiences, you are still you. Nothing occurs overnight, and if there is something you don’t like about yourself, it’s something you picked up along the way.
You have the right to revert to your default settings”¦the innocence, bright light, and beautifully handcrafted being you are. Know that you deserve to be a perfect expression of yourself regardless of what anyone thinks, says, does not say, does, or doesn’t do.
In The Seeds We Plant Series #28, You Have the Right to Be You on Create A Generational Love Cycle, I encourage you to assess your inner garden and dig up the weeds that don’t belong. Unhealthy seeds often fall on our fertile soil, and periodically, we must remove anything that interferes with a healthy harvest of being and thoughts.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails” (Zondervan NIV Study Bible, 2015 1 Corinthians 13: 4”“8).

Chambers’s Family: Breakfast and Devotion
Posted on February 4, 2024 Leave a Comment
Strengthening our children’s foundation is so essential for today’s world. They need to know that no experiences define them, their birth justified their existence, and they are here for divine reasons. One life taken is too many. One life lost is worth finding. One healthy seed sewn is worth watering.
Every parent has to decide how to guide, love, and protect their children. No guilt, and it’s okay if you are not doing the same thing your parents did or if you are including healthy/healthier activities. Free yourself by knowing that you create the family you want, not society, social pressures, tradition, or America’s history. The time is always now for a better life, a stronger family, and a United nation. Everything always starts at home with the individual.
We started this year with Dr. Myles Munroe’s Understanding Your Potential and have two more books in this series of Potential to finish this year.”‚We just finished Chapter 4.”‚I love that there is a study guide to stimulate conversation. It’s great to see how everyone is processing the information. Other books we’ve read as part of our family devotional were Dr. Myles Munroe’s 365-day Devotional & Journal (2x), The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Allen, and James Allen’s As A Man Thinketh.
As parents, we have the right to sew seeds of hope, compassion, love, discernment, determination, and perseverance.”‚After my experience with pain, I requested to be aligned with this Spirit.”‚I knew it loved me.”‚I also want my children to have a personal relationship with this Spirit. It’s not what you call this ever-knowing, all-present, all-powerful, loving energy inside of us. It’s what you believe in this energy.
I have seen our growth as spiritual guardians and in our children. We focus on the actions less and aim to see the pain behind the actions”Š”””Š to get to the heart of the matter. We aim to use experiences as life lessons instead of blaming and shaming one another.
Two weeks ago, my son said he wanted to reach out to other children to discuss issues such as bullying and others to help them move beyond their experiences to a healthier state.
Today’s breakfast was perfect for our great discussion about the human body’s purpose, intellectual and spiritual consciousness, respect for human life, and other pivotal concepts.
Parenting is not about picking a religion or the biggest, brightest books but helping our children to remember who they are and bring out the best in them.
As always, make this lifetime great!”‚Your life is not over yet!
Timika
