It has been awhile since I have written and I am finally glad to be back at it. Life has given our family a bit of a twist. We have been emotionally involved with our dear friend and the absolute destruction of her family from sexual abuse. It is still a bad situation but we continue to see the Lord protecting them.
It just made me realize a few things about how I viewed myself as a Christian parent. I suppose it is back to that underlining question of what is my purpose. I always thought as long as I stayed home with my kids, monitored their friends, coached their teams, kept them under constant surveillance etc.... they would live safe and happy lives. How naive. How totally wrong I was to think I had any control.
I finally realized how little I truly pray for my kids. I guess I feel I don't need any help......Wow! I need to remember that the God of the Universe loves my children and has an amazing plan for them. I need to be in the Word more with them and make sure they know Truth. I also need to give them time to be in the Word and prayer on their own. Everyday should be an opportunity to learn more about our God. To really get to know Him.
It is time to keep me accountable. I am going to attempt to Blog our daily God lessons. I am so excited to let God lead each lesson and allow God to reveal Himself to us as a family. Our kids go to a public school so I know a teaching moment will be available at least everyday around 3:00.
God is in control....can I get an "Amen!"

My heart just broke and tears filled my eyes when Todd shared with me what had happened. I have been lifting the situation and all involved in prayer often.
And, just to keep you accountable...where are the daily blogs?
