I'm so godly proud of my daughter who will be twenty years of age this November.
I'm so godly proud of her accomplishments and whom she has become as a young adult. I look forward to all that God has for her future with great anticipation and excitement! She has enriched my life in ways I can't even begin to explain.
Yet, when she was born it seemed as if years of troubles would just never end. The troubles of life: bills, hard times, divorce, court battles, bad relationships and more. I seemed to had come to the end of my rope until salvation knocked at the door of my heart and I answered.
The day I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior would change who I was (and still does) as a parent. God has spent many years teaching me how to become the mother she needs. I'm so grateful for His great patience; even more grateful for hers. I'm grateful for our relationship as God continues to cultivate it.
I wrote this during one of the most difficult times of my life as I realized in an instant how I had just treated my gift from God who had tears rolling down her face.
I believe as parents we really don't understand the magnitude of the damage we can do to our own children because of the turmoil in our own lives. But with God it is possible to be a good parent- a godly parent. I am a living witness with God, all things are possible.
Start with God today and raise your children to know Him as you come to know Him for yourself and watch the glory of the Lord shine upon you and your family.
Just the bitter part of me?
Living with others’ and surmounting bills
The life of constant up and down hills
Or life as I know it right now to be
Can she see the good in me?
Struggling to pay bills
And make ends meet
Feeling as if she has no place to sleep
Is this all that she will see me become?
A life of all the negative ho-hum
Or life as I know it right now to be
Can she see the good in me?
I continue to hope to be a better mother
The Enemy turns my thoughts to - wish she was birthed by another? Maybe then all that she would clearly see
Wouldn’t be the bitter part of me
Or life as I know it right now to be
Can she see the good in me?
I want her to see the heart that beats
to the joyous sound of Your voice
Way back when I made the greatest choice
To dance to sing and worship no other
Does she realize You gave me as her mother?
So now I wonder what she sees
Can she see the good in me?
I want her to know the visions and dreams that come in the night
To supply wisdom, favor and supernatural insight
A foreign language coming by way of the Spirit to those who hear
But like sweet sounding music to my Father’s ears
But is this what she can clearly see?
Or just the bitter part of me?
Or life as I know it right now to be
Can she see the good in me?
The nights of prayer and days of fasting
The intimate times of just mere asking
I want her see that I made the right choice
To follow the sound of Your joyous voice
To see it through with You to the end
I want her to see no regrets of past hurts and sins
My broken heart You took time to mend
Father is this all of me that she will see?
Or can she see the Christ in me?
Live Blessed,
