Prayer for them… and me.

  Is it worrying? Is it valid? Please watch over them. Of their hearts and minds. Thank you for the hearts and minds that you have given them. Let them be confident in who they are. Let them believe in themselves. Let them have the strength to keep that confidence throughout trying circumstances. Thank you for the gifts that they have been given. Help them reach their fullest potential. Show them the way. Help them understand honing those gifts and working hard. Help them have the grit to get through the times that will test them. Help them stay them. Let their hearts continue to be soft. …and also help me. Help me to not allow my own experiences to shadow or project onto them. Help me through jealousy. Help me understand. Help me trust. Help me with patience. Help me with gratitude. Help me to focus so that I can work on all of those things. With hope. Amen.

Return to Resolve

Gosh,  It's been years sine the last time I opened Blogger.  There was a time, when I had one baby, I moved far away from home, and I started a blog to help occupy my time.  That little blog helped me form a community among other moms who I truly believed help easy my home sickness and helped me mature and "grow up" if you will.  That blog helped me earn a little income from reviewing products and gave me something to look forward to doing each day. Fast forward 13 years.  I now have 3 kids..  I went back to work.  That little community and blog that I built are no more (except for some friends that were made that I do keep up with on other platforms).  However, I think about that blog all of the time.  It was so much more that a place to write down my thoughts.  It helped me learn about myself.  It helped with coping through difficult circumstances.  It allowed me a freedom that is difficult to describe.  It helped me lea...
