I am lacking coping skills. Coping with change and reverberation that is not invited, these little blessings called children, (rather sinful though they may be), are waking me up to a whole new world. I love my life. I love my God. Sometimes I love being a parent and sometimes I don’t. Just when I feel I’ve mastered the infant, baby, toddler, young child stages, HELLO TEENAGER!!!! I am so sorry for what I put my Mother through! The snide remarks and sideways glances, the sarcasm and mockery, the obnoxious behavior and lousy attitudes…my poor mother!!! Lazy, lackadaisical, sloth-driven cretin, also come to mind. Need I say more? Am I ranting? Why, yes, I do believe I am. Silly me. I began blogging to uplift spirits and encourage other mothers, what on earth was I thinking?
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. ~Phil. 4:8
When she was 5 or 6 years old, she wrote songs for God. She even sang this one with her dad up front of the church one Sunday:
I Love the Lord, King of the World
Lord, I love you, I do, I do. I’m so glad you’re here with me today.
Lord Jesus my heart is full of joy, love and peace. I’m in your hands today. Jesus, Jesus, I love you right now.
Lord, I love you, I do, I do. I’m so glad you’re here with me today.
If I was scared, I would pray to Lord Jesus because I know you will protect me.
Lord, I love you, I do, I do. I’m so glad you’re here with me today.
She’s gone for now, that little girl, but I have hope; she will return, for our God said: Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. ~Phil. 1:6
Also, His promise to me: For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ~Jeremiah 29:11
My hope is in Him, always. Blessings.
