Here I am in Bothel area. Women's Retreat. I was listening to the speaker today and my thoughts began wandering to my daughter. Part of it was on depression. I wonder sometimes if Cathy deals with some of that after Abby past away. I want her to become, just the woman that God created her to be. One line I liked was, "God made the plans first and then he created you to fit those plans." or something to that effect. I really enjoyed the speakers style. I want so much for Cathy. I want her to reach out to people. To share her faith, to show what God has brought her through. I don't want her to be distant because of feelings that she has.
My thoughts were most on what can I do to help flourish her. To aide her in fullfilling God's potential for her life. Not just to know about the Lord or to think about herself and the Lord. But to think about serving others and how God can use her hurts to minister to others. (the speakers were sharing their hurts).
I suppose that I trust the Lord for guidance for our family. Things are going well family wise right now. Jorge and I are going through a happy marriage time; Cathy reads on her own, is on top of homework, and wakes up well; Jorge isn't as squirly to me right now; Jeremiah is loving and inquisitive. I pray that the Lord will clue me in from time on his plans and how I can help with that. The Lord has entrusted me with these lives.
I just saw so many women of God tonight. That's what I want for me and my daughter. To be ture women of God and I believe that starts now.
