Two tear drops slid down my face today in church . . . . One was named Heather and the other, Savannah.
And yet - - I keep praying.
Friend, don't give up. We see only a small pin-hole of a view. God sees and has planned out the entire picture of our lives. . . including our children's. You don't have to see results to know God is working. Most times I don't see any results....but I know He's still working. For in all things - in everything - in all ways God is bringing about HIS plans. And I don't believe for one minute - He is sitting there watching them mess up, and with His arms folded saying "You big GOOFS." What He is doing is making it all turn out for good!
Don't misinterpret me.....I get tired, I get discouraged, I cry, I get angry, I get disappointed. I even get tired of hearing how wonderfully well other people's children are doing in life!! But. . . I do cling to a God who knows. A God who cares. A God who is far more knowledgable than I am. A God who is sovereignly in control...over me, over you, and over my children. A God who has the very best for my children....in His perfect timing.
And so - - - I keep praying.
AMEN!!! They are blessed to have such a faithful Mommy as you!!!! No Mom out there or child out there is perfect and you are right, all we can do is PRAY WITHOUT CEASING for their relationship with the Lord to be vibrant and alive in their life and in ours. I pray that for my own, that because of their immature walk with Christ, He would direct us as parents to know how to lead each step of the way. The choices they make are theirs. All we can do is demonstrate the GODLY Love of patience and faithfulness.
