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!
Has anyone told you lately how amazing you are?
