"The Power of A Praying Parent"

For a few years, ever since Chris and I began attending Crosspoint I really felt the need to get involved in a small group. Each time the chance would come, there was always something that interfered with the group I was interested in attending, work, Cade, Chris' job.. always something. This year when community group sign ups began, I made a point to seek a group that would be feasible and that I would make work, no matter what. So I received an email that a group of women met on Monday nights at the church. I was very excited that finally I would be able to meet other women while learning more about my Savior, all at the same time. The hindrance now was the time. The group met very late and I wouldn't be getting home until 10, but something(Holy Spirit) kept saying "so what?" I went back and forth about "should I go or not?" I finally decided to email the sweet lady who invited me and tell her I would not be attending. I felt awful, but again I felt a nudging of don't quit, try to find one that works. The next day, I received an email from one of the directors of Crosspoint's small groups and she sent me some information regarding another group that met just up the street from me. I was overjoyed. The time was great and she lived just 2 minutes from me. I could actually walk there..which I will be doing when spring decides to arrive.
Anyway, this group is a working moms' group that meets on Thursday nights. They had already met twice, so I had some catching up to do. We are working through Stormie Omartian's book The Power of a Praying Parent.
I felt so welcomed and it was so neat to hear everyone share about their own children as we discussed issues such as control, worry, fear, ect. This group is very unique. There are single moms, divorced moms, those with one, two, or three children,and those who are expecting their first child. I am very excited about what the Lord is going to do in my life over the next several weeks. One thing I know already, is that I must DAILY give Cade to the Lord. Its not a one time thing such as a baby dedication, but everyday I must say "Lord, He is yours and He is in good hands, and I believe that you are good and you want what is best for Cade!" Soli Deo Gloria..
