I remember ...Children can be very trying at times. I remember my sister in law asking her dad why it is so hard....he just looked at her and said "God told us to raise them...he never said it would be easy" That is so true. Something that gets me through my days is knowing that someday, all of it will seem worth it because I will get to see the wonderful beings that they become. <BR/><BR/>I pray constantly, when I catch myself not praying, then usually I am raising my voice or something that I shouldnt. So I keep praying..and when I fall into bed at night exhausted, I thank God for getting me through my day and ask Him to help me through tommorow. I ask Him to help me see only positive things. <BR/><BR/>My oldest daughter is also very independant and has her own ideas and refuses mine as much as possible. I try to listen to her and I contemplate what she is doing or saying before I say or do anything about it. Most of them time, I have found that what she is thinking or doing is really okay..It is just not my way of doing it. But I still guide her in other ways. And Pray that someday she will be a Godly woman. <BR/><BR/>Now that I am through writing a novel I will go. But I will be praying for you. <BR/>Crystalcryssihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865426795856066397noreply@blogger.com
