While browsing the internet last night after class, I found where my step daughter (who I haven't met) posted that she has no desire to meet me or my daughters. I took this statement very personal and was really upset and hurt by this. After spending sometime with my thoughts and prayers I realized a few things. 1. Why am I letting a teenager have control over my emotions? 2. There has to be a reason she feels this way. I may not be the cause but I won't add to it. 3. My kids may not get to know their step sister, but that is her loss and not theirs. 4. I need to spend more time praying. 5. God is the God of restoration. 6. She hasn't had an easy life with her dad being an addict some of her life. 7. She needs someone praying for her.
I will be the mom that prays for my children. She may not be mine, but she will still be prayed for. I believe that I serve a God of the impossible. I may not agree with her post but I haven't been in her shoes.

I love the first statement of this sermon:
How can a mother make the greatest impact on the lives of her children? I believe she can do this by praying earnestly, regularly and passionately for them.
I will pray more.
