God will take care of it

Hi Ya'll!!
     It is Tuesday, moving right along for the week. Is is just me, or do you live for the weekends?  I like to do outdoor activities like camping, hiking, canoeing etc. With all of the technology we have now, it seems like we are constantly on the cell phones, texting, or emailing, facebook etc.
     Spring has finally sprung and if we can catch some days of sunshine, it will be great!
     As I am writing my blogs, I am not the type of person that "plans things out." I am a live by the moment by the "seat of my pants" type of girl. I am ADHD before they knew what that was, but I have managed it and I let God be in control. When I am writing these blogs to you it is being poured out from my heart and soul speaking to you.  I have been thinking about what I was going to blog about, and really didn't have anything specific in mind except what Linda Isaiah had said at the "Image of God Conference" a few weeks ago. She said, "Grieve it and Leave it." When I first heard her say it, I thought it sounded like when you are mouring a death, but that's not it at all.  In fact, everyday since then if things pop up that worry me, make me sad or I know will give me a lot of anxiety, I keep in the back of my mind  "Grieve it and Leave it."  I have a "social work mentality" and by  that I mean that I always want to fix a problem.  Somebody tells me something and while they are telling me, I am thinking how can I help them?  How can I fix them? With much prayer from my Mom Squad Sisters, I am finally in a place in my heart and soul that I can "Grieve it and Leave it." I will add onto that and say and let God do what he does best, TAKE CARE OF IT!. Does anybody out there have a child, mostly I am talking about the one's that have just become adults?  The prodigal child?  I have one named Sarah. She is beautiful and she has grown up in the Lord, but now she wants to "live her own life" she feels that she doesnt need us, so I wait , wait wait for her just as the man in the story Jesus gave of the prodigal son.  I wait for her return , and like the father will be there with open arms.  For weeks, I tormented myself of "how can I fix her problems, how can I save her?"  All the while I kept thinking of Linda saying "Grieve it and Leave it." Then the other words came to me, basically while I was writing this to you. God was saying to my heart , " Iwill take care of it." There is nothing more special that I could think of than being a mother. Children, do not come with a manual when they are born which , by the way, would be so helpful. I do believe and have faith that no matter what our situation in life is, GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF IT!!!  So if you find yourself in a similar situation as mine, keep praying for your children, keep loving your children (even if they are not speaking to you at the moment) send prayers for them for their safety, happiness and that they will never forget that God is there and so are you.


This prayer was sent to me today in our email, I think it is a good prayer to go with the blog today:

A Prayer of Relinquishment

Today, O Lord, I yield myself to you.

May your will be my delight today.

May your way have perfect sway in me.

May your love be the pattern of my living.

I surrender to you my hopes, my dreams, my ambitions. Do with them what you will, when you will, as you will.

I place into your loving care

my family, my friends, my future.

Care for them with a care I can never give.

I release into your hands my need to control, my craving for status, my fear of obscurity.

Eradicate the evil, purify the good, and establish your Kingdom on earth.

For Jesus sake, Amen.

(Richard Foster)
