I am updating for any ladies that may have been lurking or interested in any desisions made for my oldest son, whom I am really burdened for right now. He is turning twelve, which is a lil bit of a transitional phase as it is, but he has a very similar personality as me...similar stregths and...similar weaknesses. I have a very difficult time not taking on his responibilites. Im not sure if that makes sense, but we have familiar spirits and its easy for me to be too connected to him. Faithfulness is not an inherant quality for either of us. When we have a task at hand we tend to either do it halfway or put it off. Obviously I am a mother and thankfully the Lord has shown me and helped me to grow along the way. I am much better now at putting myself fully into the task at hand. BUT...when my son comes along and is fighting this same battle....I feel like *I* have regressed. I take on HIS guilt. Ugh. I really struggle with follow through, especially when it comes to giving consequences to him!
So, now that I have completely shared my sins before you all....here is a lil glimpse of the plan God is giving me to work this through. Still dont know all of the decisions, but I know he wont be going off to school!!
First thing the Lord worked out is that my son got a volunteer position at the local childrens museum!! That is such a blessing. He is excited and I think it is going to be a big part of the solution. The lady is so sweet, but she seems like she will really challenge him. Im really excited about this. I am going to just going to do half pace with him for a few weeks till i get a feel for how his days will work when he goes there. Just three days per week in the afternoons.
Anyway, thats the plan for now and we will see how this works out.
Thank u so much for any prayers!!!!!!!
God bless all of you,
Mercy
