¹Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
I am better today. I am having lunch with a friend today at 11:30. She is BG’s other godmother. I haven’t seen her in a while so it will be nice to catch up. I wanted BG to go with me today but she didn’t answer a text last night and I had a text war with George this morning so I told him to forget it and let her sleep.
Mr. P and I went out last night and had pizza. We talked a bit about things. He told me part of her actions were just being 16 and wanting to do things with her friends. That some of it was normal.
Wise of Mr. P. They do have to pull away a bit at that age. They also want you near when they need you. Of course, they will try to not need you or admit they need you. The smarter they are, the more they know how to push your buttons. Take advantage of the freedom she has given you to build a wonderful life with your husband, Kim. Even if she were living with you, at this age, she would often be gone from home. We need that to remind us they will soon be gone and on their own. It is like a pregnancy, preparing us for another stage of life. We are blessed that we can always keep praying for God’s best for them.
I agree, some of this is developmental. Once they can drive, they just disappear for a couple years. Even at 21, my daughter still pushes the guilt buttons on me–it’s never enough, I always botch something–and the rest of the time she is a loving delight.
I don’t remember the emotional volatility with my boys–by this age we at least we’re joking about how inept I am, if it even came up.
With my daughter . . . Well, I’d say ever mother needs a husband to protect her from the other female in his life!
One friend told his warring females: ‘Roe (wife), you are not allowed to speak to Jen except through me. I will translate.”
He then turned to his 16 year old daughter. “Jen, you are not allowed to speak to your mother, except through me. I will translate.”
The two would get started on something and he would step into the middle with his hands up to stop them.
The “translation” would be in two parts.
“Roe, your daughter is trying to say she loves you very much but she fears you don’t understand the importance of wearing this outfit on this day.”
“Jen, your mother wants you to know she loves you very much but she’s afraid you will get pneumonia and die if you don’t cover up. Let’s work out a solution.”
See how that wise man, who professionally worked, literally, with nuclear weapons, helped?
(I have tears in my eyes as I type. Laughter, or memory stabs?)
The two are very close now, but Jen is 25.
You’re cherished by many, Kim. Accept that love, get fed by it where it’s given. Your mother-daughter relationship will never be what you dreamed of when you went through so much to get her, because you’re loving her the way she is.
Give her the freedom to choose something else and she’ll come back. Call me and I’ll tell you stories of so many others who have gone through this.
Pray for my disabled friend Carol, she called and is in the ER, still not sure what’s wrong (she’s very nauseous and has been throwing up a lot). They told her she may be there a while; she had emergency intestinal/hernia surgery about 3-4 weeks ago. I asked if she wanted me to come to the hospital and she said yes, so that’s where I’m off to this afternoon.
Pray that whatever is wrong is not serious and that they can quickly diagnose and treat her so she won’t have to stay that long. Prayer also for her peace of mind and anxiety. (She’s a believer.)
Kim, as I was reading in A Rooster Once Crowed, by Bryant Cornett, I thought of you when I read this: “For an adult to love a child, they have to pour out their lives for about 15 years. The parent has to bring their interests down and lay them at the feet of their child. The parent can’t talk about what they want to talk about, they can’t go where they want to go, and they can’t eat what they want to eat.
This may be painting too harsh a picture of parenthood, but here’s my point: Either the parent decides to completely fill their child’s needs at the expense of their own, or the parent decides to continue to fill their own needs at the expense of their child. True love dictates that one must go down in order for the other to go up Without sacrifice, there can be relationship, but love requires more.”
This is not a parenting book, but when I saw that 15 year marker I immediately thought that Kim needs to hear this. She got it right! Exactly on mark according to BG’s age. You made your sacrifices for the needed time. I felt I needed to tell you this as an affirmation that you got it right.
Kim, God filled in the gaps during any questionable times. Thank Him for that and rest in the comfort of His goodness.
I think you may be freling a little empty nest about now. Or maybe I am projecting what I am feeling. I’m late with it and you are early. Because I am at home more with “Baby Bosley”, BB(she does shoot around like a BB gun) I am missing having our son at home at least for a few weekend visits. He’s too far away for that and he does not communicate as freauently as a daughter would. When I was going to the office I was not home to experience the empty nest. So I have a delayed reaction. Do you think maybe you sre feeling the empty nest? It is okay to feel sad about it.
They’re going to keep my friend overnight, but seems like the problem may be stemming from a stent they’d put in one of her kidneys (to treat a kidney stone?) that is causing more blockage. I spent about 2 hours there, when I left they still hadn’t gotten her into a regular room yet but she said she’d call me tonight when she was settled. thanks for the prayers.
Kim – I don’t think there’s a mother on the planet who could honestly say she always put her child’s needs first. Even many good mothers put their own needs first many times. Some people would even say that it is not healthy or right to always put your child first.
The important thing is that you have loved her, & been as available to her, & as open with her, as you could be. She will see that some day.
From my own experiences with my two darling daughters, I know that this hurts like “h-e-double hockeysticks”. Allow yourself to grieve the loss of your dream mother/daughter relationship, & submit yourself, your feelings, & Chloe to God. He has you both in His hands, & will work things out.
Prayer please, for wisdom in dealing with the twelve year old. We still do not seem to have been able to get through to him. But we do see slight improvements, so that is encouraging. It is just so sad to see him burning through his young years, too hurt to enjoy them.
I didn’t mean for that quote to make anyone feel guilty about their parenting. I think the author was getting at how God is the perfect parent who sacrificed all by laying down His best for his child(ren), who are us of course. I took what he had to say in the quote to mean that when we have children under age fifteen that we are constantly living our lives differently than we would be if the child was not our responsibility and deemed our precious loved one.
When my son was young we were friends with a mom and her son. That mom told me she asked herself a question, “What would she be doing if she did not have her son and husband in her life?” Then she made her plans for her life based on her answer. That is basically the difference this author is getting at. Most people don’t think like that mom. I sure didn’t. I don’t think anyone on this blog thinks like that. None of us were perfect parents but I trust I can say in truth that we all sacrificed for our children.
Divorce. Is that a surprise? Mom moved to California. Once maybe when son was in elementary school I called over to their house and the husband anssered and when I asked for his wife he said she wwasn’t home because she was hanging out with the lesbians.
I met her through a neighbor who suggested we get together for playdates because we both had tthree-year-old sons. She had wanted me to keep her son while she worked. I had to say no because of differences in discipline style. I did not want to change my method to fit her requirement.
Another thought…About 20 years ago, I read something that James Dobson wrote, & it has come back to my memory several times.
He told of receiving a letter from a couple who had come to the Lord after their children were grown. They had a lot of regrets about how they raised their children, especially since they didn’t teach them about God.
Dr. Dobson advised them to ask God to fill in the gaps they’d left, to heal the hurts from any neglect, or from mistakes they’d made.
Although Lee & I raised our girls “in the nurture & admonition of the Lord”, we made mistakes, as all parents do. Realizing those mistakes when it seems to be “too late” can feel almost unbearable. I found peace by following Dr. Dobson’s advice, more than once, asking God to redeem my mistakes, to fill in any gaps I left, to heal any hurts I may have caused.
Thank you all for your kind words. They have been an encouragement to me this weekend. This is one of the things I love so much about our community here. I am doing better. Love to all.
I let him claim BG on his taxes. I did not hold him to paying me a real estate commission on the sale of his house that was supposed to be my contribution to buying her a car and today he sent me a text asking me to call him about buying BG a car. He asked me how much I could kick in. I am sure he will take all the credit for buying a car. The therapist told me the other day that I should defend myself and tell BG what I have done to contribute. Somehow I just don’t think she needs to know all the financial haggling that he puts me through. She has a doctors appointment tomorrow. I am picking her up from school and taking her. He has sent me a text every other day asking if I am still able to take her. I finally told him I was STILL her mother and I had this under control. He accused me of over reacting.
Next weekend is my weekend with her but he has allowed her to plan to go out of town with some friends. She wants to go and if I do anything then I am the bad guy.
I think I agree with your therapist. You don’t have to make it sound like you are complaining about George, but you can frame it as something like, “I want you to know that I am trying my best to help support you…” & explaining about the commission you gave up to supposedly go for buying her a car (or whatever it is that needs to be explained). Don’t let George paint you as the bad guy or cheapskate.
As for the weekend, can you then insist on getting the very next weekend, rather than waiting another couple weeks?
Another week is ending and a new one quickly beginning. Thank You for seeing us safely through all that life has brought our way. We have seen trials, injustices, blatant and unrepentant sin, hurts, and heard continuing stories of wrongs in the governance of our nation. It is plenty enough to get us to feeling down about this life. But You step into our lives with various forms of Christian encouragement, You give us promises for a good future that includes heaven, You make us recognize that You are the ultimate provider of justice and that Your kingdom does not fail us as earthly governments do. Your goodness, creativity and generosity are limitless. Thank You for letting us trust in You when people and things fIl to meet our needs. Plesse align our wants and desires to match up to Your desires for You know best.
Lord, I lift up Donna’s friend, Carol, to You for her need of healing. Thank You for letting her be a believer so she is healed already in the spiritual realm. She needs now the easier healing in the physical realm. You did the bigger thing, so now we ask for the remainder of healing to take place within her body. You are able if You are willing.
Lord, I also lift up the twelve-year-old child that Mumsee has mentioned. You know how he struggles and may take two steps forward and one step back. Help him when he feels anger to use the energy in it for constructive rather than destructive purposes. Help him to choose the better path for his life and not the low road. Help him to see possibilities of a good future life if he will walk humbly with Jesus. Bless Mumsee as she tries to direct and guide him toward being right with You.
I pray for Mike that all is well regarding his living and working situation. Please give him nourishing meals and peaceful rest. May his medication relieve symptoms of disease. Please help him to have effective and not costly ways of communicating with Mumsee and the Nestlings. Thank You for Your blessings on him and them all.
Father God, as the time draws near for Karen O’s tenants to be gone, I pray that they have fully met thdir promise. May Karen and her family havd reason to celebrate this new season of moving ahead with expansion of their living space. Thank You fof letting thiz happen in Your timing. We don’t know why You tarried, but we are grateful that it is almost complete. Next is cleaning of the carpets. Please let that go smoothly and give a really good result. May there be a new freshness frly by all. Please let Forrest adjust quickly to the changes. Please help Lee with his continuing work related stressed. I ask for safety and protection for Forrest when he is in his father’s care. May things always work to his benefit. Please give Karen the feeling of having more hours of perfect rest than the clock would admit. You are able for You are the God who once made the sun stand still for Joshua.
Please continue to bless Kim and Mr. P in their marriage. Lift Kim above the fray of disagreements with her ex. I ask that You would give her divine guidance and warning of what the ex will think of next to harass about so Kim can be prepared by You with a proper answer to foil his plans of taking advantage of her financially. This seems to be a thorn in her side. If she must continually live with this thorn, please give her Your grace and perfect strength as she is weak in these attacks. Jesus has overcome the world. Thank You that we can trust in His defeat over even death. I ask that the ex would have the light of Jesus to shine upon his wrong doings in this area and that he would become aware of his sin and need for repenance. I ask You to give him a compassionate heart that desires to act with fairness and even generosity toward Kim. This seems impossible considdring all the water under the bridge, but You are almighty and up to the challenge.
I ask also for Your best blessings upon the people and leaddrs in Ukraine and also in Israel. Their enemies seem so great, but You are greater. And on the home front, I ask Your intervention in the case of the girl being held for medical reasons by thd state of Mass. away from her pardnts and home in Conn. Please quickly make a way fof her to go home to her parents. And please bring Pastor Saeed Abedini home to his family. May he be released from the Iraian prison.
Thank You for listening again. The needs are overwhelming at home and abroad. We have no where else to look for relief. You are our only and best hope. May You receive glory and honor fof Your blessings besowed. In Jesus’ name, Amen
