Having a 19 yr old and then a almost 6 year old I can testify you will BLINK and they will be making college plans. That is so much more real with Hudson for me than it was with my other three...because I am on the other end with one of them. I have always prayed prayers like the above for my kids. Mostly..."Lord, PLEASE don't let them live like the rest of 'american dream' kids" and avove all else I want them passionate for you. A little over a month ago on our last vacation of the summer Jordan (my 19 year old, he had stayed home to work) called and dropped a bomb shell on us about his fall plans (he was a week from starting college). After that call and several texts back and forth I found myself saying to God "WHY can't he do things like the rest of the kids his age JUST ONCE?"...and HIS ever so sweet voice came back and said "because this is what you asked me for"...anyway...like I said it will be a post one day BUT he is passionate for the Lord and I wouldn't ask for anything less...KNOW this....sometimes your BIGGEST mistakes with your kids can end up being the best thing!!! I don't know you but can pretty much bet you will not jack your kid up :)..AND...parenting is much more about us than them, it will build your character like nothing else. God will always use them to make us more like Him and sometimes it is sooooo hard, and always an amazing adventure!!!
