This week has been a growing one for me. This weekend almost tipped me over the edge.
Emotional.
Challenging.
Hard.
Stretching.
Did I mention growing yet?
I try to invest my love in my relationships in my family, friends, and anyone else that God turns my way.
I feel blessed to have them.
I cherish them.
I try to teach my boys the importance of relationship and love. Love towards all.
This weekend Drew had had it. He was humiliated yet again by boys who are his "friends."
He's tried to do the right thing.
Listen to his "coach" (me). To do what Jesus did. Love others, even your "friends" who aren't always nice.
Compromise.
Let others have a turn.
Share.
Show them God's love through them.
He made the decision to leave. What a tough choice for a 9 year old. Sad he had to make it.
Stay or continue in the torment. He said, no thanks. That's not what I want.
Breaks my heart in a good way and a bad way.
Breaks to see my boy hurt.
Breaks because he had to make that kind of decision.
Breaks to realize he's growing and God has plans for him and none of them are bad. God is good and so is my son. He has a future for him and it is bright.
Proud of him for trying and realizing it's not his fault.
He's small, but big hearted is my boy.
I've been praying for God to glorify my life so that I can glorify him. Is this what He meant?
I grew in the situation. Hoping I glorified God in my words and my actions.
Praying for those who are hurtful.
I'm going along for the ride, God never said it would be easy. He said I would grow...

Wow, TC. You are such an example of a Godly woman and mother. Zach and Drew are so blessed to be able to call you Mom. Know that you are loved by me and by many. Karen (aka KG)
