astra 0 Posted September 6, 2012 Could I please ask for a prayer of agreement in faith for my daughter, She just moved away to go to college. I am praying that the Lord is flooding her heart and mind with His Light to overflowing, that according to Psalm 23 He is leading her and guiding her into His Peace and Joy. I pray that she opens up her heart and mind to Lord's calling and guidance and gets renewed completely from the inside, that she gives all her cares to the Lord and gets set free from any stress or misconceptions about herself and other people, that she makes wise and responsible decisions as she studies and that the Lord opens up all the doors for her to reach her dreams, that He showers her with favors and blessings in studies, with teachers and calssmates, financially, socially, physically, spiritually, with her family and friends (that the Lord gives her Godly friends and surrounds her with people who will lead her to the Lord!), that He keeps her safe and protected whenever she goes out or comes in 24/7, in Jesus' Mighty Name! AMEN! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cholette 0 Posted September 6, 2012 Amen...I'm in agreement. From one mommy to another, leave her in the hand of the Lord. I had to release my son, when I sent him off to college three years ago and God never failed. He showed me things BEFORE they would happen and in THAT, my son remained safe...you just have to commend her into the hand of the Lord. Praying with you...

astra 0 Posted September 6, 2012 Thank you so much, Cholette! I read about you leaving your son to the Lord in another thread and it was great encouragement for me. I do realize I have to release her to Jesus and that He will never let me down. I've done it before when she was living with us and the Lord delivered her amazingly out of potentially bad situations.But now that she lives so far away and I miss her terribly, my mind still seems to be in a sate of shock. I still expect her to walk in the door at night and then remember she's away and it hurts so bad :-(She has kind of a brat attitude, so she gave me a load of that yesterday so today I told her that I'd love her to come home for weekends (I'd have to go and pick her up) but only if she manages her behavior. If she chooses to be a brat, she can stay there. I still haven't heard from her as to what she decided. Although I was soo looking forward to seeing her this weekend, I can't give in or it will never end.So I gave her into the loving hands of the Lord and I trust He will speak to her and change her in a wonderful way that only He can. Again, thank you so much and God bless! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cholette 0 Posted September 6, 2012 You are so welcome. I didn't see my son for an entire year. He was in a different state and he was "having fun", but during that time, God matured him. He's back now and finishing his degree locally...I can't believe how much he's matured. His decisions and his attitude is amazing. I can actually have great conversations with him, when I couldn't before he left. He struggled a bit while he was in school because I cut off a major part of my support to him until he straightened up. I had to hear God on that part, but in my obedience, I can see a strong young man who is about to impact this world with this entreprenural spirit that has taken over him and great vision. The end will be better than the beginning...trust God! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
astra 0 Posted September 6, 2012 WOW! What a WONDERFUL and totally amazing testimony, Cholette! I am so happy for you. Seeing our kids succeed like that is every mother's biggest dream.I can't imagine not seeing my daughter for a year. I haven't seen her for 3 days and already count hours till I can pick her up and bring her back home.She is a very good girl (does not smoke, drink, use drugs or mix with bad crowds, is very responsible at work and a great student), but is a bit of a queen (I guess I spoiled her too, have to admit it) and has some difficulties making new friends. She is also a bit too trusting being sheltered from anything bad while she lived under our "wings" and sometimes makes unwise and unsafe decisions because of that. That's where one of my main area of concern is and I am trusting that the Lord is looking after her day and night. He does a better job than I can do anyway :-)I am hoping that maybe while she's away from home, she can learn some better social skills. She is learning to be a professional writer (she writes absolutely amazing stories and poems whnever she has enough patience to finish them ) and dreams of writing and doing photography for National Geographics. I pray that the Lord opens the doors for our kids to reach every goal they set for themselves easily and to God's Glory!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
