The Lord's Will

How many times have I prayed.....

Dear God,
Please protect my children and keep them safe.

Dear God,
Give my children wisdom and help them make good decisions.

Dear God,
Help me teach my children to know You and Your Word.

Dear God,
Keep us together. Don't let my children die. Please don't take them from me. I wouldn't be able to survive it.

Dear God,
Please don't let my children become homosexuals. Give them good, Christian women whom they will love.

Dear God,
Keep my children close to You, so that if it is Your will that they leave this Earth, they will be with You in Heaven. To know that my children will be with You is a peaceful balm for my soul.

So many people have prayed these prayers. People who love the Lord with all their heart, soul, and strength. People who pray and read their Bibles every day. People who worship Him with fellow believers on Sunday mornings. People who endeavour to know God more. Yet, they still lose their children in some form or fashion. Children who die from cancer. Children who get run over by cars. Children who turn their backs on God and who are destined for eternal separation from Him. Children who are taken from their beds at night by strangers.

We cannot always keep them safe and in our arms. There even comes a point when we cannot even tell them what they should believe. They must make that decision on their own and we can only sit back and watch. We always wonder if what we are doing is the best we can do. Are we teaching them about God to the best of our ability? Are we imparting enough wisdom? Are we praying for them enough? Are we keeping them safe?

It all comes down to trust and that is a very hard thing to do. I don't know the plans God has for my children. So here is one more prayer that I will pray....

Dear God,
Help me to trust You and to know that Your will is perfect. Give me peace.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6,7

Dignified Woman

They instructed me to make sure I have a full bladder on arriving for my ultrasound. Ha. I almost laughed in their faces. Pregnant me plus a full bladder equals a disaster. On my son's birthday back in March, I had to drive all the kids home afterward. I had drunk a lot of water and couldn't believe I had forgotten what happens to me when I drink too much water with no bathroom nearby when I'm pregnant. I counted the minutes till I got home all the while breaking the law and speeding trying to keep in mind not to drive too recklessly screaming at the poky people in front of me. It brought to mind the very first time I experienced a full bladder as a pregnant woman. It was my first baby and my husband was in the Air Force. So, when we had an ultrasound we went to the Academy in Colorado Springs. They told me to drink an astronomical amount of water before I came. I did so and then we started out for the half hour drive to the hospital. By the time we were on the ...

The Top 20 Clean Romance Movies Of All Time

I'm really picky when it comes to romantic movies. I prefer them clean and it's really hard to find those kind of romance movies these days. Nowadays, romantic movies are chock full of butts, boobs, and beds. Just sayin'. I was bored one day and decided to google the top romance movies of all time. You have got to be kidding me. One list had Brokeback Mountain on it. Pulease. I was, in fact, so disgusted by all of the lists that I came across that I decided to make my own. I decided to call it The Top 16 Clean Romance Movies of All Time, well, because I couldn't think of anymore to make it an even top 20. Now, my list might be different from most people. I said I was picky. First, I don't like b***** women. That scratches out a whole pile of popular movies. One of them being Gone With The Wind. Does anyone besides me want to smack that woman? Second, I don't like it when the couple end up in bed together. Uh, I don't really need to know, thankyouverymuch. Th...

Candy Stash

As I bite into a luscious Reese's peanut butter cup, I have one thought in my mind. Thank you, Lord, that none of my children have food allergies. Otherwise, I would not be able to steal some of the candy bars from their Halloween candy stash. I would normally consider myself a meat and potatoes kind of gal. I would rather eat roast and mashed potatoes than candy any day. There comes a time, though, in every woman's life when eating chocolate becomes a must. Yesterday, I grabbed the pumpkin full of candy, locked the bathroom door, filled the tub with hot water, and luxuriated in a chocolate fest. It had to be done. May I say that Snickers is the best candy bar ever? Of course, Reese's comes in a very close second. Peanut butter and chocolate were made for each other. I was a bit disappointed to see no Butterfinger bars at all. What's up with that? Aidan probably noticed the less than full pumpkin because he brought me an empty one and told me that we need ...
