Thats what I need right now. No matter how many times a year the exams come round-I'm never prepared for the emotions that consume me. I should go out and get a job at these times-that way I don't have to watch the procrastination that somehow oozes into the souls of my children. I will make every effort this time round to keep myself occupied with a hundred and one tasks and pray my way through this season. I'm constantly being reminded that my children are 'bent' in a certain way and no matter how hard I try I will not be able to shape them in any other way. Myles Munroe said that we as christians are to have dominion over all the trees and animals and waters but God did not give us dominion over people-I wonder if the author of Genesis just forgot to mention 'except children by mothers' from that verse? It seems the more I want my children to grow up and take responsibility for their actions-the more I feel the need to tell them what they should do and how to do it. I mean in the world of instant gratification-do they not instantly want to know what not to do and avoid some of the harsher realities that experience brings? I wish...May God have mercy on my soul. My spirit is calm and relaxed and knows that God has everything under control for those who love Him and seek Him diligently. I pray for every mother at this time-for wisdom to prevail-mind you the children are going to be needing some of that wisdom too!!
My son went flying this week-end and now wants to get his PPL-The angels are going to be doing a lot of overtime-thats all I know for sure! And here I am - stressing about his exams!
MERCY need it NOW!
