Galatians 6:9

Everyone second guesses themselves at one time or another. I have often said if someone paints the picture of their homelife and it comes too close to looking like the Brady bunch then thats the people you really wanna be careful of because some one is lying. Everyone has their ups and downs. This week the Brewer house has been plagued with mishaps. I believe with all that is in me and my boys have so much potential to be leaders and strong men of faith in God that I know Satan is going to work hard to try and get his claws into them. That is why I work as hard as I can to try and keep them covered in prayer all the time. Satan must have put in overtime this week. My kids were a mess this week. One of them was tossed off the school bus for acting up, another one was fighting, and then came the back talk. It seemed like I was doing nothing but passing out punishments all week. It got the best of me a few times. I confided to someone on Monday that I wondered if I was doing these children and good at all. He looked back at me and said well if your wondering if you doing a good job then you must be....otherwise you wouldnt care. I silently hoped he was right. Now I know boys this age will go through hormonal rages of puberty and we just have to let them get though it. But I really felt bad. Tonight my oldest son and I went to church and just before we left the pastor....who by the way didnt know me at all walked up to me and quoted Galatians 6:9 to me:
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
When he said those words to me I cant begin to tell you how refreshed I felt. It was like someone just picked me up and dusted me off and said to keep on keeping on. It was amazing. God is really something isnt he? He knew what I needed....sent someone my way to pass it on and now I am eagerly ready to try again. God has charged me with an amazing responsibility to nurture these boys and I want to do a good job.....I cant wait to reap the harvest.
