About three Thursdays ago, I put my daughter on the bus after a hard morning. As I was getting ready for my bible study class, I started sobbing and crying unto the Lord. I was tired of fighting for and with Megan. I had been involved in some kind of fight for her since before she was born over 13 years ago. I remember telling my God that I was tired and weary and that I could not go on. I cried so hard and long that by the time I got to my bible study class an hour and half later my eyes stung. During the second session we come together as a big group to watch a Beth Moore video. Within a few seconds of the video starting the first verse Beth mentioned was Nehemiah 4:14 and to not stop fighting for our sons, daughters, and our families. I started weeping again (and am now as I write this) because God told me that I should keep fighting for Megan. I know that I may not see the fruits of my battle on this side of heaven but I am convinced that I will see the fruits on that side.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” Galatians 6:9
And parents we are doing good in our children’s lives and the harvest is yet to come. I know that my God is a big God and He can do glorious things in our children’s lives and our lives.
