Being a Parent is Tough

Being a parent is tough. Sometimes I don't know if my children mean to hurt me with their words or they just aren't thinking. Are my expectations too high for them? Am I too sensitive?

I had hoped to spend some one on one time today with Jay. But as soon as he arrived home, he was out the door. On the drive home he was full of not being interested in what I had to say, even though it was a job possibility for him.

The next few weeks will be difficult. I am not looking forward to the choices that must be made. Will I be strong enough? Why is God allowing this to happen?

Then I think about how God must feel with us. We are rude, don't want to spend time with him. Do I ignore God when He is trying to help me?
