Last week, I was blessed to spend time with some amazing women of God. They were freely sharing their parenting experiences with some newer church moms. I was truly touched by all of their spiritual and practical wisdom. I'm hoping that they will always allow me to glean from their experiences. We had an amazing time together; the sweet aroma of the Lord was fragrant and abundant for this shared moment. These profound words were some that I think will stay with me for a long time. "Children are like pieces of wood. There's an arrow inside of each of them. (As parents) It's our job to carve out that arrow so that one day we can release them from the bow (send them out)." That's powerful. I pray that God would strengthen me as a parent so that I can equip Vivie and, one day, send her out to proclaim the gospel in this great big world.Thank you ladies for your love and words of life.
That is good advice!
