[…] **These are just some ideas, don't implement them all, but think about how they rest on your mind – does one seem like an area you could work on — concentrate on that for a bit. Each of these might not be right for each family/circumstances. These kids are yours for a reason.** […]

In reply to brit. No child derserves abuse, but God can take the ugliest situation and turn it around for good. We live in an unjust evil world. God doesn't intend for children to be raised by abusive parents. God gives us the freedom to chose right from wrong. He has a plan for each of us and unfortunaly some of us go through trauma at the hands of evil but God can turn that trauma into good. We may not understand Gods plan but that's why we are called to live by faith.

I’ve had 5 children. The first three are grown, the last is only 10 and still at home. She is an exact copy of her dad. (Who I love very much btw, but don’t understand much. LOL) As such I have a harder time understanding her then I did the others. I often find myself not “getting” her or her thought process and the two of us become so frustrated with each other. I knew she was given to me by the Lord. I had prayed long and hard for her but sometimes it is overwhelming. I read your post and a light bulb went on. She is a gift as I knew, not only that but it’s my job to work with the gift I was given. It’s a gift being able to figure out how she thinks not a trial. I just had to change my thinking. As to the negative comments you received, I did have another child and when he passed away I was devastated and I wondered why God would allow people who didn’t want children, who abused them and didn’t care for them to continue to have them and keep them when I could not keep my precious son. The boy I wanted more than my own life. What I do know is I don’t have to understand His plan. He has one. My son is with Him. I don’t know why the children are with the parents they are but again it isn’t my business. Lean not unto thine own understanding but trust in the Lord and He shall direct thy paths. Thank you for helping me appreciate the differences between my daughter and myself.

In reply to katy allred. Conscious parenting is the hardest kind. Going with the flow often seems so much easier! I like the idea of looking at my husband in the same way. I'll have to try that next time I want to strangle him (which doesn't happen frequently, but DOES happen). :)

In reply to Susan. I think so few people believe in God that they can't believe that there is a purpose to everything. It's hard to explain that... i love your story. I am sure you were a wonderful mom. You obviously have great perspective!
