The wedding of our oldest daughter has come and gone. Over the last 8 years there were many times when I didn't even know if we were going to be part of this day. I wondered if we would make it through all of the crazy of teen years and raw defiance.
I have said many times while raising my daughters in their teen years, that God gives us teenagers to grow our prayer life.
We really have two choices when we hit these rock bottom times in our lives. We either trust that God is who He says He says He is and will do what He says He will do, or we don't.
I am so grateful for a loving God who is faithful even in our unfaithfulness. He has brought us through this time where we cried and failed and whined and lost all faith. He was faithful. He continued to hold us in His never changing ever loving hands, however often disciplining hands (because He disciplines those he loves).
As we move forward I pray that I will continue to trust in the Lord for each situation. I have seen Him work and have no reason not to leave my life totally in His hands. Not only has God given me the gift of salvation, He has supplied for my daily sanctification as we have moved through this life we are living here on earth.
Thank you Lord!
