Being a Mom means walking a thin line of trust and fear

Tuesday April 17

Today I must remember that I have raised wonderful daughters who are strong, intelligent and respect themselves and others. I anquish for those females that are used for their bodies and are spoken of with little respect. I pray that we as a society can wake up to the facts that when we use others for our own profits it makes resentment build and creates hate, a hate that comes back to bite us all.
I also realize as I walk out the door tommorrow I hand off my youngest to other family members but no ones loves my girls like I do. I cherish the time I have had with both of them because they are women who God has great plans for. May they never forget that I pray and worry usually in equal amounts as they leave me to go on-even to meetings down the street:)

I also take a sad sigh as I watch the news about Virginia Tech and the murders of 33 people-- people with futures, families, and hopes. I pray that God will strenghten and walk with those who are hurting. How else do you get through something so painful.....even to strangers.
THERE BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD GO I
