I wanted to thank you all for praying for my daughters and me. Last week I asked for a special prayer for my youngest, Stacy. Yesterday, we had a trying moment followed by a very special time with God. I had the opportunity to share God's Word with my daughter because the Holy Spirit helped me to be obedient. She and I had a good conversation where we listened to each other (more importantly I listened to her), talked about God/scriptures, and prayed.
I realized that just because I'm mommy does not automatically negate that she is a little person who is developing, trying to make sense of her world, sifting through all the things she's learning from all the influences in her life so she can find the young lady God has predestined her to be. God showed me that grace/love were most needed and I'm in partnership with Him and her in that growth process; not the sole director or dictator. The conversation we had in class Sunday about the power of love and the teaching on grace in action from last week became real and I saw the manifestation of both. In the end, my daughter said "Wow mommy it's amazing how God's Word can come to life!" We topped that off with several minutes of silly dancing around and all was right with the world again :-).
Praise God because His still sweet Spirit will always give us the wisdom we need in the moments we need it the most! Just sharing my praise and letting you know that our righteous prayers are at work, are effective, and do availeth much! (James 5:16)
Thanks for your continued prayers and know I stand in the Gap for your requests too.
Have a very blessed week grace-filled CONQUERORS!
