You've Been Tagged....

Happy Thursday!! I am so off my normal schedule due to traveling this spring break, but it has been really fun. I hope you all have a had a great week so far. I was in the bathroom at some rest area the other day. We have stopped at every rest area between Jax, FL and Tickfaw, LA due to Maddie's juice addiction. Pray for her. I had her diaper bag hung up on the little hook thingamajig and just happened to glance up at it and saw her tag that she got from our sweet church. It says Jesus loves you and so do your friends at Fort Caroline Baptist Church. I looked at Maddie and said “you've been tagged sweets”. It was a profound moment for me. Do you even know how thankful I am that I have the greatest Savior in the world that would give me the privilege of passing on my faith to my precious little girl.

As wonderful as it is, it is really scary that I may mess her up. What if I'm not good enough? But God says “I am good enough”. What if I hurt her really bad? God says “I will restore you both”. What if she sees me fail like crazy? God says “I am the only perfect one, you are not expected to be.” The mission is ginormous. My responsibility is great. On my own it is impossible, but thankfully I'm not on my own. Although it is our responsibility to raise our kids in a way that is pleasing to Him, He will give us the strength to do it. Let us just stay close to our Father and He will make us the parents we need to be. Peace out, peeps.
