Daddy Issues
Affirmation: The action or process of affirming something or being affirmed.
Affirmations are positive statements that can help you to challenge and overcome self-sabotaging and negative thoughts.
When you repeat them often, and believe in them, you can start to make positive changes.
As our children learn behaviors and wire their brain, affirmations are very effective in nurturing wellbeing in childhood.
Affirmation is about creating the reality we envision in our children's character and for their favorable future through our belief in them and our praise of them.
Train up a child in the way he should go;
even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Our affirmation helps our children believe they are smart, capable, and able to achieve whatever they set their minds to.”
Affirming positive messages are like acts of kindness and love towards themselves that build self-esteem and self-belief which will stay with them throughout their life.
How can I discover the Hero within without Self-esteem and self-belief…
But there is nothing like a Father giving you
Arms - hugging and affection
Words - Affirmation
Eyes and Ears - Taking interest....
Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him.
Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they hated him even more. He said to them, “Hear this dream that I have dreamed: Behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and stood upright. And behold, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf.” His brothers said to him, “Are you indeed to reign over us? Or are you indeed to rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.
Then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers and said, “Behold, I have dreamed another dream. Behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?” And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.
Loving me does not mean you affirm me!
Joseph had a dream…
A dream that would led him to be a Hero…
But at 17 He’s trying to figure things out.....
It’s a blended family…
12 sons by 4 different women…
Joseph has a gift....
He has a dream that was out of His control but given by God…
English Standard Version Chapter 37
But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him,
Rebuked: His father became angry....
I know you love me but why don’t you understand me…
For many we can relate
Maybe your father was absent
Maybe it was a step-father
Maybe multiple step-fathers
Maybe he was present but absent
I Know i’m gifted....
I know I’m a hero...
I know I’m called to bring change
I know I have dream and goals
But deep down inside I feel rebuked and not affirmed……
But I just don’t get it...
And he dreamed, and behold, there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it!
If anybody could relate to me it should be you....
English Standard Version Chapter 37
11 And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.
You rebuke me openly but you kept the saying in mind privately…

And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”
and in the wilderness, where you have seen how the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way that you went until you came to this place.’
and I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.”
