Last night I prayed for guidance and wisdom, a desire to grow my relationship with the One True God, to gain understanding of scripture and be able to teach in a way that others can understand, I prayed that God would teach me all that I could handle...   Well He didn't waste any time..

The most profound thought provoking event happened just this afternoon.  Mom in the midst of a nervous melt down and dad in the midst of depression breakdown.  First instinct is to go yell some sense into daddy and come to mom's defense.  Mistake #1, I did not pray and ask for guidance. Mistake # 2, I did not seek to understand, I jumped to my own conclusions based on a one-sided story..  Such childish, immature mistakes.

However, the good news.. I did not act on my conclusion and possibly discovered a possible reason for the melt downs;   Action Plan;  Pray, seek to understand and reassure both parents that we have their back, both financially, emotionally and mentally...  Eat crow and swallow pride.

Lesson:  Pray for wisdom and guidance.  Seek to understand both sides of every story.  Do what you can either verbally, physically or financially.  Move forward.
