Hurting Child

We absolutely adore our children - God has blessed us with amazing children - all very unique, strong-willed, creative and full of faith (though they may not realize it yet!).

The past few days have been difficult as we are watching David struggle.  His decision to go into the Army may not happen.  He has some health issues, while not life and death, will probably keep him home.

So, we watch him - what does he do?  He is hurting, doesn't think what he does is important.  The devil is putting so many lies from the pit of hell into his mind it is making us mad!!!

It is David who stood by me when Brian walked out - he was an incredible source of strength.  It is David who confronted his Dad about the sin in his life, then stood by us as we have reconciled.  It is David who cried at Kara's wedding.  He is a man after God's own heart.

God has great and mighty things planned for him.  Just as Jacob wrestled God and then was used to build a nation - David is wrestling God.  He may not build a nation - but we have absolutely no doubt he will make an impact on those God puts in his life.

So we sit back, love our child and pray.  God will bring him through and God will be glorified in David's life.

God is good.
