To... Or not to?

If you are a parent, you know the weight and responsibility

that goes along with this question.

Add in the pressure of surrounding opinions,

and you have yourself in a pickle.

A rock and a hard place.

Call it what you will, all these Q's have been changing me.

My heart, my inner struggle of why I

make decisions like I do. Is it fear of man, what others think

of my parenting, or is it true conviction?

Advice-taking has it's boundaries. At some point we

have to make a decision for our child...

some of them will be mistakes. But I need to

learn from them, not stay weeping in my regrets.

I often think that if most people are doing it one way,

that must be the right way.

Maybe that group just has a few persuasive people in it!

I have been hard challenged to pray

for the Holy Spirit's wisdom, and then step out!

Is my faith really so weak that I can't trust my

Shepherd's voice? Where are my doubts coming from?

My child will benefit more from a parent who

believes in what they doing way more then they ever

could from a parent who operates out of fear.

Let Faith overcome your Fear, Sara...

and let Christ be Lord in your life.
