"God is not looking for perfect mothers to raise perfect daughters. He's looking for imperfect mothers who are raising imperfect daughters in an imperfect world...and desperately dependent on a perfect God for the results."

Five Conversations You Must Have with Your Daughter
Family Challenge Day is a little focused on mom's and daughters. If you don't have children yet or maybe you have all boys you can either log for later or adapt to your boys. The above quote reigns true today in all areas of society. No matter where you turn we are never going to be perfect neither are our children. It's more about our dependance on the One True Perfect GOD to empower us to be more...
Establishing an deep relationship with your daughter is crucial to her having a positive self-image and encouraging her to be confident and independent. Let her know you are her mother but you are also her friend. Be cautious you must retain being mom but be a mom with open arms ready to love an listen anytime they need you.
Today's Challenge: Do a one-on-one with your daughter! Paint her nails, brush her hair, go grocery shopping. Do a makeover!
