Ahh, Changes...
We've started school. I hated school. It's hard to push them to go, when I know it was a horrible experience for me. But I've got to do it. And I'm getting some healing for the child-tallie within me. I'm able to do for and give to my children that which I did not receive from my parents. It's a blessing, and I know that they will be better in the long run, as will I. In the meantime, I get the joy of persevering through change, and the not-so-much comfort that comes from the knowledge that God will be with me, and has me, and I'll come out the other end stronger and healthier. Ugh.

TaliGirl,
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I've been in your boots as far as children in school are concerned but if you really believe that God with you and with you than it's worth trying to also live that one thing that he teaches: as a man/woman thinks in his/her heart -- so is he/she.
We really do become what we think. And the one lesson he's been teaching me for the almost 50 years since I gave him my life is that the more horrible I think a thing will be, the more it becomes that; and the better I think a thing will be, the more it becomes THAT.
Right now in our life we are dealing with a city zoning problem and it's oh so easy to get discouraged and frustrated -- but I know that He is in control and that whichever way things work out they will be HIS will, not mine. Now that doesn't make it any easier for me to wait -- I never wait for anything -- but in the same way you have to push your kids to go to school, I'm having to push myself to act in faith as if I could SEE the results. May he grant you the strength to challenge your own way of thinking and bring it under His own control. God Bless....
