Life is like a box of chocolates...

You know, isn't that the truth?! You really never know what you're gonna get.  But there is one thing we do know...if we are obedient, doing as God's Word commands, then we will live in His will regardless of whether we get the yummy caramel or the icky raspberry filled chocolate.

Lately, in my Mom-World, as my kids are getting older,  I am dealing with new things. Hurt feelings, mean friends, you know, typical adolescent fun stuff ;).  What I remind my children and what I have to remind myself (because when they hurt my mama heart hurts for them a million times over), is that as long as they are making choices that are right by the Lord, they can rest in the peace of knowing He will honor that. We have to look at our circumstances through the filter God provides, not the one we think is best.
