I hope this is the right place for this
I recently found out that my wife, (we are separated) was allowing my sixteen year old daughter alot more freedom than we ever did together and it scared me to death because I know what is out in the world today, and I also had some things come to light before I left that also worried me, but she was running around alot more than we allowed and given more chances to be with her "new" boyfriend and I'm sorry but I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER!!!
But as the story unfolded I found out he broke up with her because she was "pestering" him about coming to church and it really hurt her bad and all I wanted to do was hold her and tell her it would be alright and that I was SO PROUD OF HER!!!
then I heard the rest of the story, it was because of this she was pushing him to come to church...she found out he was smoking pot and she didn't like it.....PRAISE GOD, our Lord had better control of things than I thought
I only thought I was proud of her before!!!
I thanked God for having control and apologized for doupting Him,
you see I prayed for God to protect my babies for me because I couldn't be there to do it myself anymore BUT I didn't fully trust Him to do so.
So after I get off work I'm going by the house and give her the BIGGEST hug and tell her how proud I am and then ask if she will pray with me for her ex to be healed of the drugs, you see this touches me in a bad way because remember what I said earlier about remembering when I was a teenager, I WAS THAT BOY being the pothead, losing my first REAL love because she didn't approve of what I did and spending a big part of my younger life stumbling around in life not knowing what I was doing to myself, BUT I can thank the Lord because I finally wised up and asked our Lord to take away my habit and He did just that!!!
So that is my praise report, how good is our God....HE IS AWESOME!!!!

Woohooo what an awesome God we serve. I too have a teen daughter...mine is 15 and I do my best to lead her in the ways of the Lord...showing her that His path is the best...but it does get a bit worrisome at times...when I'm not totally trusting God as I should...but if I will Trust Him then I know that she is really not mine but His...and He will take care of her.

Thanx for sharing that my friend.

luv ya
