My precious son was being a little, no big toad today. I am not sure if it is a teenage thing but they think they always know better and as a parent you just want the very best for them but when they don't do the little things right it can be very frustrating as a parent. I'm not sure if it's right but I think that it would be benefical for my son to go to university. He is so negative about striving to do well and his ideas are not what we want for him. He really annoyed me tonight and his whole vibe or mood whatever you want to call it was heavy and negative. I just didn't want whatever it was that was on him to land on me. Oh, I don't know. It's time to go to bed and pray for him.

I read an email from my daughter today and she is preparing to go to NY it is a trip organised through her exchange program. She was unsure about some of the finer details of her trip but she was able to problem solve these issues today. Praise the Lord. She has always been a strong minded lassy but since she has been away in the US she has come to understand the value of family. This is a good thing. My husband and I have sacrificed much so that she could travel. When our daughter was 2 years old she was diagnosed with wilms tumour. I won't go into details here but it was a very difficult time for my husband and I. We nearly lost her and we would have done anything to swap places with her. That was the first time that I ever came face to face with the devil. Our whole life was falling to pieces around us and I honestly thought that I could sell my soul to the devil, if she could be well again. And, he knew it. He came to me at the hospital, I never saw him but he whispered to me, "If you sell me your soul, I will give you your daughters life back." My gosh I was tempted but I knew that I just couldn't. I wasn't a Christian then but God was reaching out to me. I can't share anymore about that time of our life.
2006 our daughter met a young lad. This boy was bad bad news and she was nearly destroyed by her association with this lad. She lost her circle of friends and opted out of going to school. Another long story that I won't share here.
But God moved on our behalf and opened doors for her to go to the USA. He has allowed her to enjoy the life of a teenager in Texas, she is with a loving family hand picked by the hand of God. I am so blessed. They are not Christians but I claim their souls for the Kingdom of God.
As a child I flew in my sleep and when I became a Christian I could no longer fly except one night I was flying but fell and the mighty hand of God caught me. I have never flown in my sleep since because my Father in Heaven holds me in the palm of His hand. My daughter is held there with me.
That is why Texas is a special place to me...

My precious 18 year old daughter is growing up before my eyes. She is in Texas on a student exchange and preparing to go to NY.
Oh my gosh, she posted 3 pictures of herself today and she is so gorgeous. I kept staring and staring and staring because I couldn't see my little girl. I was looking for that little girl but I was seeing a woman.
My heart felt prayer is that not only would she be a gorgeous woman but a "Woman of God."
My girl is now becoming a woman.

After, reading an excellent post I am here to write about one of my precious jewels. I feel that God is asking me to let this jewel go and to stop holding it so tight. This jewel has a heart of its own and it is trying pry itself away from me. But I am not ready to let go. I am just not ready.
I love this jewel with all my heart and if I let it go, it may never come back to me. I know that the Lord is asking me to let go and He is asking me right now do I trust Him? And, I can honestly say that I don't because I can't let go...
My jewel has found its own jewel and I even felt the Lord say accept my jewel’s chosen jewel. But I am not ready. The chosen jewel is beautiful physically but I don't know if this jewel is genuine? But, God is asking me, do you trust me?
Lord, I come to You and I release my precious jewel to you. Thank you that you have given me a picture of my jewel placed in a basket. The basket belongs to you and my jewel is your jewel. Lord I sincerely pray now that I accept the chosen jewel. You have their lives in your basket.
Amen

Hi Lilyskye
Thank you so much for your encouragement as a mum. I love the idea of the PS notes I'm going to include them in my post to my daughter who is in Texas at the moment. I can't wait to be a nana but not just yet because my children are still teenagers. In the far future.
Thank you for blessing my blog with your presence.
One in Jesus

To my precious daughter, I know that you are feeling homesick and missing us. I just wanted to bless you today with prayer. I thank the Lord that He chose me to be your mother. The first day I laid eyes on you were loved with every fibre within me. You were so tiny and my heart cannot express my love that I felt for you. I have made many mistakes and I ask you and God to forgive me. But you are mind and I am yours forever. You are so far away today but I feel this need in my heart to bless you with these words. I am so very proud of you. You are so beautiful. You are so talented when on the stage. You are an awesome athelete. You are so clever. You are my daughter and I miss you. Bless you my girl!

Dear Jesus I love you with all my heart and I need you tonight. I am yours and you are mind. Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.
The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him. I will exalt him.
In your unfailing love you will lead me you have redeemed me. In your strength you will guide me to your holy dwelling.
God you have brought me out of Egypt; I have the strength of a wild ox. I will devour hostile nations and break their bones in pieces; with my arrows I pierce him.
(Arrows=prayers)
***
My descendants, our house and our throne, there will be the Lord.s peace forever.
***
My daughter will be a wife of noble character she will be her husband.s crown…
My daughter and her household, they will serve the LORD.
