God, as I start today, I ask that you would help me as I work and handle things there. I pray for the ability to stay on task and finish my projects. As I type that sentence, I am reminded of my conversation with Chase and Rachel last nite. Father, you know, he is so creative and so talented and I couldn't be more proud of having him as a son-in-law one day. But you know, his brain thinks so fast. It thinks of so many things he wants to do. He wants to earn money (for as he says to have 'the best of everything') no matter what he has to do to get it. He is probably the hardest working person I know, especially to be young, and a man! The problem, as I told him is that his mind thinks so fast that he doesn't stop to finish his projects. He starts one thinking this is going to be his 'ticket' and the moment another starts, he's ready to roll to the next project. I told him last night the thing that scared me was that He would get so headstrong, in such a whirlwind to accomplish, that he does so without even questioning what YOU want for him! I told him that I didn't want him to 'fall' because 'God in his loving way, wants to yank him back in place.' This is so easy to happen--ASK ME HOW I KNOW!! I realize God that you are a loving Father. I know you wouldn't intentionally do anything to devastate or hurt your children. But YOU are in control and just like a parent, you want to be the Daddy and not the child! Father, spare them as you can, but in the same aspect, do whatever you have to do to let him learn NOW, before they are married and have too much at stake. Let him learn NOW that you are only doing what is in his best interest! Help me to be a good example. Help him to listen to me as a friend, an experienced friend, not just a MOTHER-IN-LAW!
