Prayers, we speak, think and hope so many of them. As a mom of two teenagers and one soon to be I'm finding this stage of life hard, hard on my heart. I love my kids with all my heart, like moms do. I guess in the process of raising kids you have your own ideas, hopes and dreams for them, then, low and behold, they come into their own. Some you have to push out of the nest, even if we don't want to, others seem to be trying to get out too soon and you do everything you can in your power to keep them until you know it's safe for them to go. In the end we just have to trust, first of all God, that He will go with them, that they will hear His Holy Spirit speak to them and they will listen and follow. Then I think we also have to trust that we did the best we could in raising them, that we loved enough, shared enough, and lived well enough that they make good decisions. We definitely have to trust them, that they will make mistakes, but that they are strong enough, wise enough, and confident enough to learn from those mistakes and to continue on.
So I'll keep on praying, I won't stop and in the process I'll pray for others in their generation as well.
Won't you pray with me?
Can you ever go home? It's a good question, but now that I've been back here for a little more than four years, I thought it was time to change my title and in the process maybe actually get back into blogging assuming I'm not lost forever in this place we call the world wide web.
About Me
