Elementary School- Competence vs. Inferiority

Joshua 1:9." Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

My family moved t Florida at this time, and I was scared. I cried every single day in school. My teacher hated me in first grade because I never stopped crying.

I didn't want to leave my mom for any reason. I only wanted her through most of my childhood.

Adolescence- Identity vs. Role confusion

Ephesians 6:1-3," Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do. 'Honor your father and mother.' This is the first commandment with a promise: If you honor your father and mother, 'Things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on the earth.'

The good kid. I never liked being in trouble so I always followed the rules till I was about 18.

Disobedient. At age 18 I moved out and rebelled against everything my parents taught me. I was trying to figure out who I wanted to be.

Young Adulthood- Intimacy vs. Isolation

Proverbs 22:6," Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it."

mother. I had my first son at age 21 and my twins at age 24. Suddenly I was the one who was teaching children how to be and the right ways of God.

Wife. After a failed relationship with my children's dad, who was abusive, I finally met my forever man. God led me to an amazing man named David. I became a wife for the first time at age 38.

Middle Adulthood- Generativity vs. Stagnation

Hebrews 6:1," Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God."

Matured. I am now able to see that the world does not revolve around me and I am here to help others.

Truly found God. I became a real Christian and invited the Holy Spirit to dwell in me

Late adulthood- Integrity vs. Despair

Psalms 73: 26," My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

I hope to be a helpful Godly woman for the rest of my life. I am here to serve the Lord.

Love. I want to continue to love and be loved by people till my dying day.

Preschool- Initiative vs. Guilt

" Hear my son your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching, for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck." Proverbs 1:8-9

Rotten. I would get mad at my brother and we would fight with each other. I threw a jar of mustard at his head at age 4 and he had to get stitches.

Caring. After my brother got stitches I felt horrible. I was so filled with guilt for what I had done.

Toddlerhood- Autonomy vs shame and doubt

Proverbs 29:17," Discipline your children, and they will give you peace of mind and will make your heart glad."

Sweet. I read in my baby book I found flowers and made mom come look at what God had made me.

Daddy's Girl. I followed my dad around wanting to watch him be Superman.

Infancy- Trust vs Mistrust

Psalms 127:3," Children are a gift from the Lord. They are a reward from Him."

My mom didn't know she wanted another child, but God knew she needed a daughter.

According to stories I was attached to her in an insecure way. I wouldn't let her put me down.

Corinthians 6:17," But whoever is united with the Lord is one with Him in spirit."
