Being a mom is scary. It is so overwhelming at times. I can handle that for the most part, but it is terrifying to think about bringing kids into the world. I didn't realize that until Ryker was born. I always knew that I wanted kids, but once I had them, I realized just how corrupt this world is. And I almost feel guilty for having kids in the first place because they have to be subjected to the nastiness of this world. Now, I would never give up my kids and I'm so thankful for them, but if I'm being honest, I'm terrified for them.
The most important thing for me is not that my kids eat their fruit and veggies. It's not that they are good at sports or that they are polite. The most important thing to me is that they know God. I want my boys to know God and His word. I want them to base their lives off of it and I want them to never doubt. I don't want them to be persuaded by the bullies of the world. I don't want them to doubt what God says because they are called judgmental or because they are called intolerant. God has an amazing life planned for both of my boys. HE knows what's best for us and that is why He has specific instructions for us.
At times I want to cry because I know the kind of persecution that faces my boys in the future. I know the kind of persecution that I have faced and I know that it could be much worse than I have ever experienced. I pray to God that they never have to face anything like that, but I would never be more proud than I would be if they were standing on the word of God, defending it.
Knowing God is the biggest blessing that anyone could have and I pray that for my boys and for anyone reading this post.
Until next time my friends...
