As for my 10 year old that was emotional and telling me she was afraid of her future life, we talked. I told her that when I ask her to be sure she brushed her teeth, brushed her hair, picked up her clothes, read 20 minutes, played outside, cleaned of the table, helped me with putting clothes away, cleaned her room...etc you get where I am going with this. That THESE VERY THINGS, will prepare her for her future life. The scriptures that we study and memorize with school, the stories we read about how we were MADE TO BE MORE and MADE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, will prepare her for her future life. Proverbs 3:5-6 says- Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and HE will make your paths straight.
There, the answer is there, IN ALL WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM and he will make your path straight. Rest assured, their will be times in her life that there will be struggles, and set backs, so day in and day out we are teaching and guiding her but if she can only take away this ONE simple bible verse, she will be guided through the valleys of her life journey hand and hand with our ONE TRUE and FAITHFUL GOD.
Does it hurt for a mom to feel like her daughter is scared? Yes, it most certainly does. Sometime I wish I could get inside their brain...but I can't. Therefore, I am so thankful that I sat down and talked to her and she shared those feelings with me. Taking the opportunity to remind her of Jesus' promise to her....daily will help her to not be afraid and trust. #bringingithome
