I have to continually remind myself that I can't control people or circumstances. Just when I think I've got this concept down, I find myself struggling mentally and emotionally to "coax the ball into the corner pocket", per say.
I want the children to have amazing lives and achieve all of their dreams. Don't we all? We can prepare them and guide them and love them, but in the end the most important thing is to pray for them. I don't mean we are supposed to be hands off and whatever will be will be. I just mean that I have to continually remind myself to do my best without doing everything for everyone and pray for God to guide them and me.
If I pray for them to be healthy in mind, body, and spirit, I have to trust that will pretty much cover it.
The verse 1Peter 5:7 has always comforted me. "Cast your cares upon the Lord, for He cares for you. " I assume that includes my children. 😆
Until next time,
Blessings,
Heidi
