It is crazy how your perspective changes once you are a mother. Things that I have heard in the past may made me feel one way or another, hearing them now I feel a completly different way. This past week, I heard of a a tradgey that occured in my old neighboorhood in Crofton. A 14 year old boy was beaten to death while he was riding his bike home. I am completly saddened. That poor guy died by himself, probably hoping that his mom and dad were there to comfort him in those last minitues. I hear prayer requests on another blog of termoil/pain/and hurts occuring in certain families, and my heart goes out to those in need of a miricle and healing. I know I can not protect my son and family from hard times and hurts. And it seems that some families have it harder than most. Its a scary thought knowing that sometime in my life, Avery is going to face some hard truths about the world and some hurts in his life that I am not going to be able to protect him from. Life is going to take its toll. Its a fact. No matter what. I just pray that God gives me the wisdom to raise Avery in a way that he can handle life situations. And I pray that Brant and I will always be able to help him through it. That he will never have to face it alone. I can't imagine what the parents of that boy are feeling right now. And I know they probably can't imaigne going on. Even this past year, I have had to watch and even expierence learning to have new normals in my family. I know God has a plan for all of us. And we always complain that life isn't fair. Its not fair for a mother/father to live without their child. Its not fair to have a family member in sickness. etc.. Its not fair to have a boy beaten to death... These times when faith becomes hard. But not impossible. I pray that I can be an example to my son. Teach him the ways of the Lord and he will lean on God ultimetly. Because God has a plan for all of us even when we think its not fair. He is God after all.
I am sorry if this blog is a little mixed up and doesn't flow perfectly....It just kinda all came out.
