Since writing my last journal entry, I have had to admit something to myself and to God. The last few days while pondering on my son's future, and thinking I had given it all to God; I discovered something. Anytime I would ponder the question "What if he goes into ministry?" I immediately wanted to shout "No, Lord, please no". Isn't that sad?? We all have career choices we would NOT want our children to make, but my top of the list is going into ministry!! I know why I feel this way, but it just made me realize I had not fully given my son's future over to the Lord. I'm not saying that I can control it, I'm just saying I hadn't let go of it. (I'm also not saying that God told me my son would be in ministry.)
So anyway, I admitted to God that I was still holding on and felt like sharing that. Bottom line is this: If my son is the local town mechanic or he has some sort of "stage" in his future; if his priority is God in everything he does, then that is the future I want for him.
