I appreciate the comment you left on my Thursday Thirteen post.<BR/><BR/>I read this and I couldn't agree with you more. We can give them the tools to work with and teach them the way to go. But when they reach an age they think they can make their own decisions, to a certain extent it's out of our hands. That's when we parents can only hand it over to God and pray.<BR/><BR/>Diane, she's just as normal as a 1st year college student can be. My two girls, as great as they turned out, turned quite a bit of my hair gray their first year of college. Amazing. They almost always get over it, settle down and start making us proud of them.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078572615133867629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22456630.post-1158446531234490762006-09-16T17:42:00.000-05:002006-09-16T17:42:00.000-05:00What an amazingly encouraging post!

So many children who otherwise would not have walked such a difficult path now do so because our country is so tolerant of letting the stuff come in.<BR/><BR/>I pray for my grown children and my grandkids everyday, Dear Lord, protect them from temptation and deliver them from evil!Gardeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233358355888022857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22456630.post-1158429257002688042006-09-16T12:54:00.000-05:002006-09-16T12:54:00.000-05:00Diane - Kristen's trying to get 125 comments on he...Diane - Kristen's trying to get 125 comments on her 125th post.

While I take comfort in this verse as my son approaches his high school years, I know, like you said, that it isn't a promise but more of a rule of thumb. I have seen so many people grow to question God because they don't understand this principle.

She was raised in church from 5 days old until she left our home for college. It would be easy to question my parenting skills and wonder where I went wrong, but I refuse to let Satan drag me down that path. I did the best I could and she was taught the right way to go, but now she's making her own decisions and choices and will have to live by them. As her Mama I pray for her, all the while dreading the consequences she will have to deal with from those decisions. <BR/><BR/>Sooner or later, we all have to stand on our own 2 feet and give account for our choices, then bear the judgment from a just God for those choices, whether good or bad.Diane@Diane's Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919687116633720697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22456630.post-1158337254169904082006-09-15T11:20:00.000-05:002006-09-15T11:20:00.000-05:00So very true -- we need to remember this perspecti...So very true -- we need to remember this perspective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22456630.post-1158331629385868302006-09-15T09:47:00.000-05:002006-09-15T09:47:00.000-05:00We had this precise discussion in SS class last we...We had this precise discussion in SS class last week. It is a very real encouragement to people like us who did everything we knew to do and saw everything go wrong. Satan wants us to blame ourselves and live in defeat. Thanks for sharing this perspective today. I know it helps you, too!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938607712512860569noreply@blogger.com
