This post is mostly from last week as I have been struggling on just how to write the right words.
Time has flown by, as I raised my 3 little children, some days I hardly had time to breath! I feel like I have done them an injustice by having them so close together, 3 kids in 4 years...But, there were so many fun times that I do cherish....our camping trips, summer vacations, renting a VCR Machine and movies plus a pizza every Friday night,our family night together, church activities, going to meme and papas for holidays, summertime fun,birthday parties, sleep-overs,Six Flags, our big trips to Colorado, Washington, and Disney, so many fun times together as a sweet little family. We hardly ever missed church, Bible class, fellowships--so many bonds that we made that we had to leave behind when we moved to Waco.
Two of my children are not making some smart decisions as adults, I can't help them or protect them from their mistakes and it is making me feel so helpless inside.Things that they never saw their Father or me do and still don't.
So, this season of my life I am spending a lot of time praying-just praying for my sweet children, praying for their hearts to be in the right place. All have accomplished so much in their lifetimes and we, their parents are so very proud of them and love them so much!
Psalms139 13-18
For You formed my inward parts:
You covered me in my Mothers womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wondefully made.
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Yours eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
and in your book they were all written.
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
how great is the sum of them!
If I could count them, they would be more in number than the sand.
When I awake, I am still with You.
