I can honestly say that she is the best example of God’s love for me that I have ever known. I also know that I have not accomplished the same relationship with my children. I don’t know what is missing, but like you, I do know that our children are in God’s hands, and He is able to do wonderful things in their lives…we just need to continue to do the best we can to show them God’s love, and keep praying for them. <br />Praise God for His marvelous works, and to Him be all the glory!<br /><br />♥HopeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026222061744552797.post-49071555391941583962009-09-09T12:06:03.502-05:002009-09-09T12:06:03.502-05:00I don't want this time of my life to come too ...I don't want this time of my life to come too soon. I sat with a friend's 17 year old daughter yesterday becuase she was leaving for TX today to visit her boyfriend. We talked about purity and choices and loving God more than the World. My 3 year old ran by as we were talking and I pointed to her and said, YOu see "K", you will always be that to your mom. She is not sending her 17 year old daughter away, she is sending her baby away. She just smiled and agreed.<br />Tough times, I told her she had to make right choices because in 10 years she was going to be having this conversation with my daughter for me....Tammy On the Gohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14043677672931768639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026222061744552797.post-79243572867249924242009-09-08T17:21:22.863-05:002009-09-08T17:21:22.863-05:00I remember too.

Thank you, Lord.<br /><br />Sorry about the battle you have at home with your teens. I pray peace and more peace over your home. God, come and whisper words of hope to Christy Rose. Open up her kids eyes so they may see and know You are God and they are not. Make them into the precious children of God that You have planned for them. Be big and mighty as we know You are. You are able to do miracles in hearts. We love You, Jesus. Amen.<br /><br />Hugs, friend.

I understand your words all too well.<br /><br /> It truly comes down to trusting Him... with it all..<br />I am constantly reminding my teenagers... "this isn't who you are inside." "I know you really don't want to go here." The more I call out to who they really are the more easily they can see what choices they are making. <br /><br /> I really do understand.....Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553121852669901186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026222061744552797.post-46493985135458795552009-09-04T18:44:30.295-05:002009-09-04T18:44:30.295-05:00Hello friend, I was just wondering where you are.....Hello friend, I was just wondering where you are...I have seen you post a comment or two hear and there, so I know you are here somewhere. <br /><br />Where oh where did Christy go...Where oh where could she be...Where oh where did Christy go, why haven't you been by to visit me??

I will pray with you that their eyes and hearts are open to His wisdom. I pray that He pours into their hearts and you will witness great change. <br /><br />I too have an almost 16 and 18 year old....I thank God every night that they are good kids. Are they perfect? nope<br />Do they get mouthy, selfish, disrespectful? absolutely.<br /><br />But I know and trust that they love God and I am raising them the best I can for Him and have to just trust in His promise. He is for us, not against us....and as you said, these are His children.<br /><br />praying Christy Rose!<br />xox~*Michelle*~https://www.blogger.com/profile/12973255141669832129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026222061744552797.post-8829858125223299062009-09-02T19:49:30.707-05:002009-09-02T19:49:30.707-05:00What a beautiful prayer, truly from the heart.What a beautiful prayer, truly from the heart.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470564337562063124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026222061744552797.post-23937811479895047982009-09-02T17:46:03.281-05:002009-09-02T17:46:03.281-05:00Christy,

Laying our children ~ NO ~ giving our children to the Lord day after day is the ONLY way. It seems I have had countless "teachable moments" and conversations this summer and remind my kids this is our job to teach them in the way they should go and I don't want to fail the Lord or fail my children by not doing this.<br />Thankyou for sharing, for reminding and for pointing each of us to JESUS and to our Father who will lead us and them in HIS WAYS....give all of us "ears to hear Lord and hearts that would obey"<br /><br />Love you Christy ~<br />p.s. you asked if my brother was a believer....the answer sadly is no. He will be here tomorrow and we have had some situations arise with dad that in my flesh cause Fear and am begging for Salvation but the Holy Spirit is with me and I am crying out resting in knowing that JESUS is interceding for me and for my Dad! Just like this post HE loves my dad even more than I :)Lorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02342381156917160229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026222061744552797.post-29152574197938388782009-09-02T11:13:49.479-05:002009-09-02T11:13:49.479-05:00I remember my hateful words to my parents and my s...I remember my hateful words to my parents and my sassy mouth because I knew way more than they did or ever would.

It is hard, but they are growing...growing is NEVER easy. <br /><br />They as teenagers are really asked to make the biggest of decisions in life with the least amount experience behind them. They make right ones, and then sometimes they will make wrong ones(just like us parents). If they can see we trust God fully with our lifes then it will also encourage them to trust God with their lifes. <br /><br />Thanks for the reminder.Darciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13433894747049535179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026222061744552797.post-58633710609867433552009-09-01T09:00:45.526-05:002009-09-01T09:00:45.526-05:00Yea, I've got a 19 year old and a 17 year old....Yea, I've got a 19 year old and a 17 year old. So I'm in the midst of it too! <br /><br />I was actually one of those odd-balls who thought my mom was smart. I respected her and her opinion. I followed the rules and was that 'ideal' teenager. You could even ask her! So now my teens are NOT like I was and I don't have a CLUE how to handle it cuz I don't "remember" being there. I don't get it, and that makes it even harder. *sigh*<br /><br />I'm hoping at least ONE of my kids is good to me as a teen!

Makes me tired just thinking about it! <br />It's fun to think that one of these days they will have a mind all of their own and will be making decisions for themselves. I cannot wait to see the kind young ladies they will become. <br />I would love to skip those teenage years, though! :)Jill @ Sneaky Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10480450274000410668noreply@blogger.com
