But first an update:
GOD IS SOOO FAITHFUL!!!!!
I found my son today.
In the midst of repentance and forgiveness.
We are once again best friends.
I had pushed him away in my critical and bitter spirit and didn't know the path how to restore our relationship once again. It came by a heart felt repentant cry to God, tears running down my face type "I'm sorry Lord."
Jesus showed me how "self-rightous" I have acted. I found myself complaining about my sweet boy, while acting like I was not to blame. By speaking down to him and complaining about him, I realize I was trying to make myself look good...what a fool.
My job as a mom is to teach, to guide and to help.
If I have not given him enough time to learn, then my job is not to condemn but to PRAY and LOVE.
We have not arived. But, we're on the right path once again.
Praise God!!!
Here's something a friend of mine sent to me:
"What would Jesus teach?"

Hello precious d-i-l--God has been putting all of you on my heart for the last several weeks--more so than usual. When God brings someone to your mind, whether or not you know why, we need to stop and pray--at that moment. That is what I have done. May God protect and draw all of you closer together as you draw closer to him.
Love, your fav m-i-l
Hi Mercy
This post has just brought me to tears (I can bearly see the keyboard as they stream down my face!!)
God is SO good and faithful, and you are so beautiful and humble...I feel so touched, encouraged and challenged by your words. The lord has constantly been bringing you into my mind and prayers, and once again I am amazed at how God works his Mighty power over the continents and countries!!! Thankyou so much for sharing your journey with us, thankyou for your honesty. Know that many voices are lifted in prayer for you to a faithful, mighty, mighty GOD
Love you lots
Love Deb (Your best friend from Australia!!)
Mercy - I really appreciate your transparency and humbleness. It is so hard to admit when we are wrong .. and even harder to lay it all out for others to see :)
God bless you!
In Christ,
Joanne
