As hard as it must have been, praise God that He found His faithful Father with open arms. What a wonderful testimony of God’s faithfulness.

May God continue to lead Him!

Blessings, dear friend!

Hi, Barbara!

I love this: ” I’ve been praying that my children wouldn’t just be part of the Christian culture they grew up in, but that they would have their own strong, deep relationship with God. ” That is the desire of my hear too… that’s the only way to true faith!

Blessings to you!!

You are so welcome, Rebecca! It’s possibly one of the hardest exercises of releasing control to God… and a huge test of faith!

So glad you joined us! Blessings to you,

You are so right, Lisa! It is hard, and yet, it is certainly a way to strengthen our faith and prayer life.

Blessings to you!

I love this in your comment: “It’s our nature to desire a level of orthodoxy in our kids that we certainly did not possess ourselves when we were their age.” Perhaps it’s because I did not come to Christ until I was 25, but I often think about how much my sin and mistakes drew me to the Father as a way to understand that God will be faithful with my children as well.

It’s always a pleasure to have you in our linkup, Michelle!

Thank you, dear friend! I believe our children’s struggles certainly present a way to keep us on our knees, right? 🙂

love to you!

Amen, Jerralea!
I did not become a Christina until I was 25… I often think about the MANY mistakes I made, and how God, in His mercy, has somehow made each one of them to work for my good and His glory, especially as I minister to others. He does not waste our pain… or sin, for that matter. We must claim that is going to happen in our children’s lives as well. WE, mommas, just need to keep on our knees!’

Blessings!!

Hi, Lois!
You and I have that in common: my oldest is also a senior in high school. As I look ahead, my heart fills with excitement and also concerns… but I fell challenged to trust that the God who led her so far will remain close to her. My greatest advice to her is to never stop spending time in Scripture and prayer… otherwise, it’s easy to fall prey to the enemy’s schemes. So far, so good, but, oh, I certainly know that the big challenges have not truly begun yet!

Blessings to you and your daughter in this important time of her life!

Thank you, Lauren! Many blessings to you as you walk this road of mothering a teenager. It’s hard work, but so worth it!
