It ain't easy being a Mom

Sometimes I feel like being a mother is the hardest thing I have ever done. (I can just hear my Grandma saying "what ever made you think it would be easy). I have known for years that being a mother is a full time job and not an easy one, but it has only been the past six months or so, that I have really started to question how I am doing.

My kids are 19 and 17, a freshman in college and a senior in high school. I feel like I am treading in deep waters, way over my head. Where do you draw the line in supporting your child and letting them sink or swim? How do you know when to give advice and when to hold your tongue?

I guess it just comes down to prayer - praying that God gives you the knowledge to know when to step in and when to step back, and most important the prayer of release - the knowledge that although you can't always be there for him, God will.

Just Think

Just Think
You're here not by Chance
but by God's choice
His hand formed you
and made you the person you are
He compares you to no one
You are one of a kind
You lack nothing
that his grace cannot give you
He has allowed you to be here
in think time in history
to fulfill his special purpose
for this generation
