My daughter is a great kid. Okay, no longer a kid at her age, but not far off. She used to have her head on straight. I don't know how much of what she is doing relates to the fear she must have of my husband's drunken anger, or fear of disappointing us, but it really just doesn't make sense.
She spent weeks lying to us, pretending to be going to university. Then she has procrastinated on things that only she can do and that affect her in the end. I don't get it. She is usually an amazing Christian woman! I adore her talents and abilities to deal with children and people. She is charismatic, genuine and caring and is walking down a path where everyone else but her is coming first.
Praying that God will guide her on the right path and watch over her. It is hard to let her make her own mistakes, but it is going to have to be the way it is. I don't like tough love. Don't I have enough to deal with without having to worry about her? What am I missing? Praying so hard not to be anxious...
Philippians 4: 6 - 7.
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
God bless,
