Today is my 44th birthday. There was a time when I would get all wound up and expect others to run to me and wish me a year of happiness. I guess I'm at an age now where birthdays are not such a big deal anymore. I am not really in need of any material possessions to wish for a certain gift. I have all that I really need that way in life. I feel blessed in many ways as God has been busy working a couple of miracles in our home. My husband has realized the importance his role in my daughter's life actually is. He has a softened heart for her. He is seeing her through the eyes of Jesus (he would never realize that though!). He sees her pain of her own absent father. Her need for unconditional love and approval. He sees that this may have led to her behavior of the last couple of years or more. He also has acknowledged that he has been no support to me in dealing with these trails in the past. God is good.
My prodical daughter also has experienced some change. She has been infected with Epstein Barr Virus, otherwise known as Mononeucliosis. My party girl will be grounded for a few weeks. Please pray that God will reveal Himself to her at this time and that she will receive His love.
Not that I needed confirmation, but these events of late confirm His words to me about my daughter not moving out on her own. She isn't supposed to leave so that both she and my husband can experience healing.
He is so faithful!!
