Hehehe...I have news for you...whether they are 7 or 27, the challenge remains. It NEVER ends...it gets better, but it doesn't end...hehehe

Yes, I'm not a fan at how our school systems are these days. I have friends who still have school age children and the amount of homework they give the kids to take home is atrocious and when they can't finish it or they are just plain burned out, then they lable them and make them feel as though they are "behind". I just feel like because your daughter is creative, her just sitting down and doing homework is going against her grain. I will be praying for God's wisdom to come upon you so that you can come up with ways to make what she naturally enjoys become linked to what she doesn't enjoy. The one thing that I've learned is if a child doesn't feel secure or confident in something, they run from it. It will come to you and God has an answer for this situation.

The best way to end this with this guy is to be bold and just do it. You described him as "suave and charasmatic", but in regular terms he's just manipulative and you can't move in a soft or easy manner. You just have to tell him that there is no future between the two of you and then keep it moving. Don't take his calls after that and avoid all contact with him. I will pray for protection for you and your friends and come against the attacks that you all are under, but for this guy, you just have to be bold and forthcoming and not worry about "stepping on his toes" or hurting his feelings. Glad to see you back!!! Keep your focus!!

Thanks D...I will be praying as well.

I will be praying as well...how old is she? Does she have other activities that she's involved with outside of school work?

Thanks everyone...I guess there is no true reason why it's happening. I'm good with it...it just came to me to see if anyone else experienced this and see if you understood the reasoning behind it. There hasn't been this long of a "drought" of dreaming for me, for as long as I can remember except a time where I was taught away from praying in the spirit. When I did that, I didn't dream for FIVE YEARS. Once I started praying in the spirit again, the dreams came back...strange, but true. Thanks again for you input...I appreciate it!!

I'm interested in knowing what everyone knows about seasons where you don't dream at all. I'm going through one of those seasons right now where I haven't had a dream in a few months or so. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with this new prophetic mantle I'm walking in now. It seems like ever since my pastor has been calling on me to minister prophetically in church meetings, the dreams have stopped. Not sure if one has to do with the other, but just wondering if any of you have experienced this and have something to share regarding it.

Awww...look at your compassionate heart. Yes, I will pray too.

Amen Lovelywomanofvirtue... I would also like to add that as parents we have to look beyond what we see. How I do that is I picture my son walking with the Lord and in his call and purpose. I literally daydream and it brings a smile to my face. Sometimes its so real that I forget he's NOT walking with the Lord right now. God promised me some things about him and I'm holding Him to it...not just because He said it, but because HE IS MY SON'S FATHER. I know that because my son belongs to God first, I can hold on to what he said despite of what I see. God is real...God is good...TRUST!

Well, I normally don't DISbelieve my dreams because I normally don't have the full meaning right away. Once I know what it means, I can't say that I Don't believe it. I treat it like I do a prophetic word. It's another way God is speaking to me, but this time it's with pictures. To overcome ANY unbelief is through prayer. Sometimes when situations come up in my life where I am forced to either believe what God's word says or suffer in discouragement, I just sit before the Lord and share with him my struggle in trusting him. When I get up, I normally feel better. I hope this helped at least a little bit.

I will be praying. You won't be drained as long as you are moving according to the Spirit. Continue to ask the Lord HOW to handle this delicate situation and WHAT to say. Doing it His way is easy...His yoke is easy and burden light...

Gave you my birthday wishes already, but here is another one...

That's what it's all about!! Sorry I'm just now seeing this, but you are SOOOOOO right! It's really the ONLY reason why I come here...TO GIVE!!!

Those tormenting and harrassing demons WILL leave ALL of you alone in JESUS NAME!!! Interceding...

Praying with you Wendy!! The Lord is FAITHFUL!!!!!!

Amen!!! This makes me think of the scripture that says it is the goodness of God that leads men toward repentance!!!! EXACTLY!!

Praying too...

Whooooohooooooo!!!! Goooo Miss Connie!!!

Don't do anything at this time Jasmine...just pray and ask the Holy Spirit to get involved. He can turn his heart away from you and it will be all HIS IDEA and not yours. This way it won't be any pressure on you. God can do this...I've seen it happen in a situation I was involved with. He's faithful!!!

Let him down easy Jasmine...he's a bit fragile right now. Still praying...
