Honestly, I had thought I had given up on writing this blog. I have to ask myself if it is even worth writing anymore. Who am I writing for even? I remember why I started writing. I had too many words after my late husband died. It is easier to write when you are busy processing all of the emotions. I'm still processing some of it, but it is not like before. I was writing all of the time. Now I find that I am writing sporadically.
Well... today I have something to write about! Not too long ago, my children, both my daughter and my son, decided to take classes in pursuit of membership at the church. This is a really adult move on their part. The last step is their membership PENDING BAPTISM. I was told this past week that they would be baptized this week. I don't know what I was thinking but they did great. They told their testimonies. They were funny and loving. Their personalities shown through. I am so thankful to God for today. My daughter talked about all of the hard things that she went through. It turns out that the hard things that she went through led her to God. My son was gracious. He kept his testimony short and sweet. As they went through the process of baptism, I cried. I stood next to my husband and I think we both just stood there and cried.
I have prayed for my children to follow God's path and to never depart from it. Isn't this every parent's prayer? Even now, I'm praying. I don't think that I will ever stop praying for my children. I want them to see them on the other side. This is the prayer. That is the dream. I want to believe that this is the first rung of a long life of following Jesus. They can do whatever they want, as long as they stay on God's path. Let them take the narrow road. Today is sort of like a dream come true. I am thankful to God and I will continue to pray for their relationship with Jesus.
As always and especially today, praise the Lord!!!
