Thoughts for the Day

My home has gone from two children running around the house( one usually streaking), to a family of four adults all with their unique and busy lives. As the door opens and closes through out the day, I watch my two sweet girls as they push through their lives. They both work about 25 - 30 hours a week at their jobs and go to school full time. Im very proud of the hard working ethics they live by and how they responsibly do what they need to do to pay their bills and pay for their fun. As I sometimes watch them as they come in from work @ 10:30 , and go to bed to start all over again at 6, I am reminded that as long as I continue to pray for them , encourage them and support them... God will sustain them.

The children part of home is slowly fading as the young adults are slowly appearing, I pray that God would grant me the wisdom to guide them into His arms , encourage them with His words and love them through all the changes with His love. Thank you Jesus for my beautiful girls.

A New Year

Well after reading a friends blog , and was touched by her writing I decided to start one. There is so much stored in my head I really don't know where to begin.

This year I will have change going on ...change that i've never experienced. As my younger daughter gets ready to graduate , my older daughter prepares to be out on her own. Never do you think about this time much as they are growing because it seems off in the distant future. Then all of the sudden , it's here, and Im at a loss for words. I know that many out there that have or are experiencing this season of life can understand. It's an exciting time in one regaurd ...and a lonely time in another. The Lord does prepare you , but I've realized that it is more of a preparation emotionally than anything else.

I think the worry will always be there a bit , yet knowing that God is Sovereign gives me a great deal of peace. A peace that no matter what happens it is with His will. This year , I will grow more in trusting God with the lives and future of my daughters. As my heart and mind tell me to hold on tighter ... God tells me to let go, He is taking care of them.
