For that parent out there that needs to hear this…..You are not your child’s choices. Their choices are their own.
HOWEVER, you are their greatest prayer warrior.
When you want them the least is when they need you the most.
More and more I see how in today’s culture it is easy to get pulled in a gazillion different directions. Many of these directions are in fierce competition with spending time with our husbands and families. We don’t eat dinner…

My heart is heavy with this very issue as of late, with my youngest about to graduate college and the oldest with her third baby on it’s way. I just need to know beyond all doubt that they choose Jesus every day.
