First day of school and so the school marathon begins.<\/p>
\nMy daughter is a pre-teen so many issues have now begun to emerge.
\n<\/p>\n
As I got to the school I came across this scene…<\/p>\n
Boys between the ages of 12 and 15 were in a group talking. They were all tidy and with neatly combed hair.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know what got into me that day, but I had an emotional attack mixed with concern.<\/p>\n
I looked at my daughter and thought:<\/p>\n
What will happen now? She will begin a phase of discovery. It seems as though the world wants to devour our children!<\/p>\n
I thought of those boys hitting on my daughter. I thought of all the bad influences. Uff! I thought and felt it.<\/p>\n
It was in that brief moment while I was walking to the classroom that this happened. But, after we entered the classroom I had already forgotten about that awful emotional attack.<\/p>\n
Just to add, all the way to school I was talking to her about bad influences.<\/p>\n
It was a Monday afternoon and I was home cleaning the house in silence, my thoughts were calm.<\/p>\n
I was caught by surprise…<\/p>\n
You know that feeling of concern you had? <\/p>\n
It\u2019s because you\u2019re not relying on Me and My work in your daughter\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
My heart was filled with fear God spoke to me.<\/p>\n
No matter what the condition, situation, or excuse you may have it doesn\u2019t camouflage what doesn\u2019t please God.<\/p>\n
This experience was an awakening. It opened my vision as to my trust in God.<\/p>\n
“Every time we worry, we\u2019re anxious, want to solve things our way, or let our feelings be restless and take our peace, it\u2019s because deep down we\u2019re not trusting in God.”<\/p>\n
Evaluate in what areas of \u200b\u200byour life you haven\u2019t trusted in God and because of it you\u2019ve been worrying and even making up scenes in your mind of things that never happened or never will happen. Make the decision to surrender everything to God and trust in Him completely.<\/p>\n
“You will keep him in perfect peace,\u2028whose mind is stayed on You,\u2028Because he trusts in You.\u201c (Isaiah 26:3) <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
