has the principles of the Bible, she
KNOWS God's word. 1 Thessalonians
4:3 Romans 13:13, I Peter 2:11 … She
knows them all.
So in essence, I DID MY JOB!
This is not an indictment against her
or me, this is life, and we have to live
it! As a parent, I trained and taught
but the rest is all up to her and God.
My job now is to love and support. I
know that I have trained her and laid
the groundwork and foundations
according to Proverbs 22:6 - Train up
a child in the way he should go, and
when he is old, he will not depart
from it.
I cannot live her life for her; I
cannot shield her from the
complexities, the hardships, the
pains, or the joys of life. I can AND
DO pray for my children. Pray that
God's will is done in their lives. Pray
that they are protected from evil,
and enlightened by the Holy Spirit. I
pray that they become sensitive to
Gods voice, listen, and obey.
However, mostly I pray that as they
go through their lives, traveling the
path that God already knows they
will travel that HE is with them every
step of the way!
What is done, is done, and cannot be
undone, right? Then flip the script!
and ENJOY it.
Life teaches us lessons. Some we learn
the easy way and some we learn the
hard way; I guess the only thing that
really matters is that we LEARN THE
LESSON!
The lesson that I learned was that in
ALL THINGS God is in control.
Moreover, in ALL THINGS we have to
learn to LET GO! Let go of the
disappointment, let go of the anger,
let go of everything that will hinder
our own personal growth and our
blessings. Acknowledge that we alone
cannot fix everything, someone
greater than us can help us handle it.
The lesson that I
learned was that in
ALL THINGS God is
in control.
A life, a baby is a blessing … What an
honor! Life is a blessing, LIVE IT! And
Praise God for it!!!
