When Daniel was in 8th grade at Valley School of Ligonier one of the activities was to do a "Time Capsule" which was his interpretation of the driving forces behind who he was as well as the reflections that he had of himself. It was a thought provoking exercise and one that the kids would be sent when they were seniors in high school. The parental involvement was for a latter to be written by a parent/parents that would share our hearts for their hopes/future/character etc. Daniel's arrived today. I wrote this from my perspective then...and clearly from my perspective always.
What an honor to speak life over your kids and see the faithfulness of God.
It typically doesn't turn out the way we think...or even on the track we see at the time, but it always turns out as it is supposed to as we trust Him with our kids and their futures. While the road isn't paved, it is rocky and filled with holes we couldn't see, but what we can see is God weaving it together for a beautiful tapestry that enables us to be useful and purposeful and living life with passion and commitment to what matters most and exactly for the purposes we have been created for.
The LORD said to me, "You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled." ~Jeremiah 1:12
