The Past Two Weeks

The past few weeks have been some of the most trying times for Ben and me. We are extremely busy and overwhelmed with our daily routine and the battles that come with loving children and not always being able to protect them. There are some days you absolutely want to just give up, but I remind myself that the lord did not give up on his children and we must find the strength to purge forward and not let this cruel world blind us from his plan.
We have been road warriors in the past two weeks… headed to Knoxville to Sarah’s competition. Thanks to Mary Glad and Jimmy we were able to have a relaxing weekend not staying in a hotel. We got to spend time with Andrew and LeAnn for Dinner at O’Charleys. Was nice to see family.

Watching Sarah perform tugged at my heart, knowing how my little girl has changed from this tiny little creature I could protect to a teenage girl who is easily influenced. I couldn’t help but to be saddened by how detached she is becoming from me.

Oh Lord, I pray for you to wrap your arms of protection around my sweet Sarah.
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1.
