Had a great summer vacation with the family (although the drive was exhausting!). It was so good to connect with old friends....it just seems like yesterday we were all together out on the coast. Got a prized "Kiva" t-shirt and a bag of great coffee in Eugene (the kids thought that was strange but I always loved their coffee). We saw an amazing amount of this country! It is indeed beautiful.
I've been feeling nudged lately by the Spirit to concentrate on praying for the kids. I came across a Stormie Omaritan book on Praying for you Children and also had received a prayer card for praying a daily prayer for kids. I've been using them both each morning and it has been EXCELLENT. I have already seen answered prayers (God is Good). This season of watching my kids grow-up and preparing them to live independently is the most challenging thing. I so much want to take care of them but know that they need to jump out there on their own. This year we will be working with our oldest on basic life-skills (laundry, shopping, checkbook, car maintenance, etc). The others need prayer for keeping strong in the faith and reliance on God rather than friends. We are trying to help them see that talents that God has given them and how to use them. I hope that they will feel inspired to dream BIG and trust God!
