Thanks for the kind words.I want God's will for my daughter.She is an awesome person and her whole life I have listened to God on how to raise and encourage her.She began last winter teaching a Sunday School Class.Not an assistant but a teacher.She also leads a division of the childrens church ministry and sings on the platform plus specials.She sang a special for our last District Youth Rally.This is just my opinion but I want her to enjoy her youth.
She does not have to strike out big at seventeen or eighteen.I think our young people are pressed by necessity sometimes into vocations that they are not suited for.I am willing to go for the long haul.I have a son who is a wonderful man.He is a Seabee in the Navy and getting ready to ship out to Japan.We were blessed to have him home for his last weekend available.God is good.
It would be so good if every young person had a chance to find the will of God for themselves and be supported through it.I know not all of them do.Some live for God and their families do not.I applaud everyone of them who stand for truth even though the odds stand against them.
In my own life none of my family was apostolic.I was the first one.My mom was converted,my dad,my cousin,my niece,my sister all as a result along with several other people.I was twenty two when the Lord called my name.My dad encouraged me to be all I could be and he and mother came when I preached and he attended the church we pastored even though he claimed to be catholic for years.God is good.
In thinking hard and praying about this subject I feel its my job as a mother to point my children in the right direction.I pray about what I feel is God's will for them while I am guiding them into the future.I feel if a young person is not encouraged and supported that they feel lost as to what the future holds.
Someone has to point the way to opportunity.For my young people I am that person.A mother trains you in many ways and its such a blessing to see your children walking in right paths.I hold their hands as long as they need me and let go when the time is right.Its the only thing I know to do.Birds have to fly.

We didn't go anywhere when we got married. We just came home. But we try to get away every so often for a few nights just to escape the craziness of life!!
