life passage.......


Here I go again. I am going through a big change lately. My teenage is so much a . I don't know what I am doing sometimes. I guess maybe I try and hold onto my girls too much. They are growing up and away from me as is natural . I must learn to let go of them little by little and let them fly. I think it is so much easier to apply spiritual laws then the laws of life. I don't really know what to do most times. I feel like I have jumped out of the airplane and I don't know how to pull open the parachute. It's so nerve wracking. I pray and pray and pray and call out to God, HELP!!! I don't know what is going on.... I wonder what to do or who to talk to.... I want to be a good parent but I don't always know what is going on. It's like looking through a window where most of the window is blacked out. I get anxious and afraid sometimes. I hate to admit it.I cry alone at night in bed. I feel like everything is falling apart and I have no one to turn to. I can only stand idly by and watch everything crumble apart to nothing. It's scary. I am feeling like everything is uncertain. I trust God. I do ,but when I see all the bad and crappy stuff happening over and over and get worse and worse I wonder what is happening. Everything seems so insubstantial and temporary. My mom and other members of my family tell me it is only a phase and that it will get better. I hope so, I sure hope so. Sometimes I wonder just how much of this garbage my heart can take......

I wonder what to do.... besides pray.....

I pray HARD... Lisa

I too pray with you Lisa

Born Again Christians only need to chew, It's those left behind that have to swallow it.

My daughter is seventeen and lives with me... people tell me that I should not be her best friend however, I am.... I cut up with her and her friends, I never judge, I have been enlighting her as to what stalks her, bad boys, drugs, etc... for many years and yes, we talk about girl things that most dads would run from... I made a huge statement by helping her and always being there, ever if it ment going to the drug store and picking up a package of feminine _____!!! Yes I did!!!

I can only give you the single dads point of view...

I am praying with you this day Lisa!!!

May God bless you and your family!!!

OH, Lisa.....I am the oldest of 3 girls.
We put my mother through *ell. I was the worst, just because I knew it bugged her. I am not proud of my rebellion and even now I live the daily life of disobeying my parents and God.

For some it is a passage that they must spread their wings and do what they will. For others they quietly sit and wish they could do as others do. Typical story of the Prodigal and his Brother...one left, the other stayed.

The more my mom tried to 'involve' herself the more I pushed back. She would frequently let me know....that if I belonged to God, he would only let me run so far and then He would jerk a knot in my tail! And BOY was She RIGHT! I had about 5 years of 'fun' and then...man alive! Life Hit me, right between the eyes.

Take comfort in knowing that if your girls are saved. God WILL take care of it. They may come back all banged and scraped up, but they will return! Sin is only pleasurable for a season, then comes judgment! Warn them...love them...pray for them...but allow God to have them! They are His anyway!

Love to you!
