Parenting

Parenting! I believe it is the ultimate challenge in life. I find that we have been "successful" three times and wonder how in the world we will make it through this fourth time. Frankly, I am a little scared of failure sometimes. I guess the key is right there, two sentences back...we will not be successful. It is only by God's grace that any heart submits to Him and then to the authority that He has seen fit to place over us. For our fourth, that is her parents at this point in her life. Ultimately, she must choose to submit to Him as her Lord and then He will do the molding of her heart. "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. I wil put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws...you will be my people and I will be your God." Ezekiel 36:26-28 Oh Lord, mold my heart.

  1. Cindy, Well I got here, now let's see if you get this. I chose the parenting article to comment on because I could hear your concern through the words. Remember we are praying for you and God will get you and Dave through this trial. We all will give him the glory some day.
    I Love You, Mom (Janet)
