Where to begin????

God has said a lot to me yesterday. A LOT! I cannot stress that enough! I will open up and admit I am not the best parent in the world. I had a fight with my son yesterday morning. After taking both my children to school yesterday, I started to pray about what to do as a mom. I looked for verses in Proverbs to pray over my son. I was still angry about the whole thing.

Well, God waits patiently for you to ask for His help. He does not shove it at you. I read Proverbs 14:1. It says, " The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down." Needless to say, I began to cry. God pierced my heart with His love coming from this verse. Funny how every time I think someone else needs to change, God shows me how I need to change first.

I set out to find all the verses I could to pray over my children. Then, I found ones to pray over my husband and marriage. God showed me I was not doing ALL I could do. I was not building my house properly. My frustration was actually tearing my house down....and I was indeed, using my own hands to demolish it.

I am still going to search more verses to add to pray over my children and hubby.(I thought of one this morning on the way to school). Someone told me once a long time ago, that everytime you point a finger at someone else, there are three pointing back at you.

Think about that.......
