I will love you forever......

I haven't written on this thing forever. Lately, life is changing at a fast pace and I am wrestling with the changes. I love the book I love you forever. It is a children's book that takes you through a life of a mom and son. Changes happen in our children. Changes that we don't really like. Changes that can change their path in life and we try as much as we can to get them back on the right track. What is the right track? I can tell you in my life it is the safe path that causes the least amount of pain. For them: it is finding the path that expresses who they are. This path is uncertain and not as safe. For the most part they don't stray too far away but still it is different.
This world is changing and compromise is the norm. Lately conversations turn into debates and all I can do anymore is stay quiet. Or cry. I have taken to crying a lot. Tears come easy as I look at what dangers are out there and how my words no longer carry the weight they used to. Tears of frustration because each generation strives to be "Cooler" than the past and then live with the regrets because the compromise is even greater for the next generation. Too late. We started the ball rolling.
I see postings of people campaigning to oppose taking "God" out of our money and they have not read the Bible nor attended church for years. They took God out of their lives years ago and now because they are afraid they send out forwards. It is frustrating.
For the most part I am just frustrated that I cannot control my world! I have peace that as my world spins out of control, God is in control. That I don't doubt. So whether He is on our money or in our schools by way of our government- I don't doubt He is there! He is there inside of every heart of every believer. That is what gives me hope for my family and this wacky world we live in. Peace
