Lately, I have had a heavy heart for my son who graduated from college almost a year ago and is still looking for a job.Did I also say that he is living with us? He desperately wants to find a job and move out. I have been finding myself with a rollercoster of emotions as a mom and a stepmom.They each bring about different issues and challenges.
After talking with my husband today,I am so desperately trying to enjoy this time of my life and the detours it has taken.I am trying to enjoy each day whatever it brings. I have so very much to be thankful for-one is a husband who supports me and is there for me. I find myself seeking peace and comfort. I have looked for this in many things-work,money,material things. I know that to truely have peace and comfort that I have to look to God. I have to surrender to him daily,sometimes hourly and let him handle all the "stuff" in my life.
"YOU ARE GOD-YOU ALONE-OF ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE EARTH.YOU MADE THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH."(ISAIAH 37:16).
I want to leave with this thought-If God made the heavens and the earth,then I know that he can handle all the 'stuff" in my life.
CONTINUING THE JOURNEY!!
It is so hard when you want to make life better for your kids, but you can't, isn't it? I find it difficult to trust God, and have to keep reminding myself that His plans really are best, and that He can use my children's discomfort for good in their lives, but He can't if I'm always interfering. It's hard!
