Child's Experience

    Entry No.2

             "What is one experience you would have your child experience?"

         I would have it to be to machure spiritually. This is not something that I could force or make happen, and there is no way to ensure it will happen.  It is something only God can do for it is him that brings true change. However I as a parent would have a great deal of influence in the matter. It is hard, but it is rewarding. It makes everyday a bit brighter, even when the sun is hidden. It makes trial bearable, work enjoyable, and joy complete. 

          I have been through great change and trial over the past three years. Each year bringing me to an new place. I fell into a pit, and I could not get out. I will be honest it is one that I tried time and time again. However as I gave my heart to The Lord I was freed with every step I took. However then came a time of trial to test the faith I had been given. My dad passed away, and less then six months after I was in a car wreck. Yet these things have only made my faith stronger. Putting gold through a fire refines it, and burns away the chaff.

          It is an experience like no other. One thing I desired was a friend, and in this experience I got more than I could have ever ask or hope for. Right now the verse that would probably speak for me on this is Psalm 34:8. 'O taste, and see that The Lord is good. Blessed is the man that take refuge in him.' I tasted and seen as such so I have chosen to take refuge in him, and he has been ever faithful. I do so really hope that my children be them son or daughter also take the refuge in The Lord.
