Adam, thank you for these words. As a single mother of an almost 4 year old daughter, I have fearfully wondered if I had been doing what is best for her in so many situations. Now I am married and we are blending a family of four. The challenges increase, but through God’s grace, my fear has not. I am mindful of the blessings I can pour in to my daughter’s (and now stepdaughter’s) life and I feel confident that through the spirit’s guidance, I will make wise decisions in that regard. And when I fail (as the prayer goes) God will be faithful to work in spite of me. That fine line between blessings and curses is a tough one to gauge, but if I prayerfully submit myself and commit to my family – it will not be so tough to step forward in faith and proactively love in the ways I am led. I am learning that God tends to balance parenting skills between my husband and myself… just another way God supports us in our efforts to bless our children. I am so thankful.
