I was thinking again of those sweet memories with my kids...and a phone call I received from Sis...one that absolutely blew my mind...we had a certain issue that we, Scott and I...me more than Scott, for several years...Scott kept saying we needed to let her come to terms with it or she might always blame us...always wondering...
...and then...out of no where, she called us from college...yes...college...and told us she had decided to step away from the issue...she said she couldn't say it would be forever because she wasn't stepping away because she stopped caring...she went on to tell us that she stepped away because it was her every waking thought...first thing in the morning and the last thing at night...she said until she could get her focus on the Lord then she had to step away from the issue...and she did...it was long and it was hard for her but she made it...
I know we all have issues...maybe it's a dream or a job or a person or finding our whatever....but the truth is...even when we find our place or person...until God has our whole heart and attention...nothing else will complete us or satisfy us...
This memory is a favorite for this mom because of the growth I witnessed during this time in her life...finding her satisfaction in the Lord...becoming her own person in Christ...my prayer not only for her but for all my kids...and grands...
Love you Sis
