Thanks for *your* encouraging words! I’m leaving on a 4 day business trip tomorrow, so this post was especially poignant for me. I hand them into the care of my Father and trust that He will have much to teach and share with them while I am away.

Great guest post Lisa-Jo! Children are a gift from God and you hit the nail on the head in regards to leading them to Christ and dependence on their heavenly Father. Thanks for the encouraging words!

Gosh – thanks sweet friend! Weaning my kids from me – it’s something I struggle with on a daily basis.

Yea, it’s a daily battle isn’t it? I feel like God and I play tug of war with my kids some days.

To say that I know exactly how you feel would be a gross understatement. I know that these children are His…that they are only entrusted to me for a short time. Yet, I find myself holding onto them for dear life. I long for them to love Him and follow Him…and my daily prayer is that He would begin preparing me now for whatever is to come. I pray for the strength to, not only let them go if necessary, but to be their biggest supporter in the process.
