Oh how difficult that has been, but there is great peace in knowing that our dear Lord is fully in control of those reigns. <br /><br />Lord bless you,<br /><br />DianeDianehttp://www.enjoyingtheblessings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724432374556756119.post-22389736119541734382011-09-19T07:48:30.270-07:002011-09-19T07:48:30.270-07:00This speaks volumes to my heart, Kimmie.

I have been in a season of battle for my son, and God has been speaking volumes of peace over me, assuring me that His love is greater than mine, and He is in control. It's been hard for me to let go of feeling as if I've failed if he doesn't choose God first. BUt... the beauty has been watching him choose God more and more as I've backed off and allowed him the chance. I feel like I'm seeing my son again for teh first time in a long time, and I am loving it! Spiritual warfar for our kids is serious business, and I'm not going down without a fight! I love you, dear friend!!Bird's Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18172896311469204163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724432374556756119.post-77577377054253948362011-09-18T16:12:23.994-07:002011-09-18T16:12:23.994-07:00How encouraging.

We moved here a year ago for a job transfer and bought a home not realizing it was in a questionable area of the ciy. I'm constantly reigning in my kids' hearts and feel as if this giant shield I'm holding to protect them is getting so heavy. My daughter lost her best friend yesterday because her family is so broken and in need of Jesus. Daddy and I had to make the decision. It's so difficult to have to implement wisdom to the heart of a little one that doesn't understand quite yet the dangers of running around without armour.<br />I will pray for your girl, and for your heart that is heavy and hands that are weary. You aren't alone on this road!<br />-KateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724432374556756119.post-11786421294923496052011-09-18T01:07:17.325-07:002011-09-18T01:07:17.325-07:00I have been reading your blog for a while and have...I have been reading your blog for a while and have found your words very encouraging. Today I went to chuch and our sermon was about divorce and faithfulness in relationships, the marraige covenent which makes a couple one so as to create Godly offspring. I felt disheartened to say the least as not all 5 of my children are walking with the Lord.I'm sure that God sent your vision for me too.
