Time seems to fly by faster every year. As I celebrated another birthday, I became an Auntie again! My little brother is now a Daddy! Where has the time gone? I remember walking him to and from school & pushing him around in his stroller. WOW!
This new addition leads me thinking. (YIKES) How am I going to minister in this little girl's life. What will my role in her life be? I am a single mother. I am raising two little boys by myself. I am trying to go back to school, work and still raise up godly young men. I am jointly raising a young man and a young lady. Trying to speak truth into their overwhelmed lives. Praying for them all the more as high school and middle school loom in the near future. I am trying to live a life in accord with my Savior, falling short regularly. Praying that in spite of my failings that my children would see Christ. Now I have this little niece. She is going to need me. She is going to need me to pray for her, her parents and her siblings & grandparents. I pray that I will have a regular relationship with her. I pray that I can always be here for her as I would my own children.
So today I wake. I read my Bible, I give thanks for little Aubree Joy. I pray that we will be close, that I would be faithful to be there for her. I pray that my children would have a wonderful relationship with their closest cousin. And most of all, I pray that Christ would be more evident in my life and my actions and that my love for Him would grow continuously!
