Little Sisters

Our group of committed moms has grown from 2, Carike and me, to 6, which means we are just 2 shy of the 8 moms I envisioned sitting around the deck table, heads bowed in prayer battle unison. This really excites me. We now meet once every 3 weeks and our lists of prayers for our children have gone from simple requests of protection to elaborate prayers of healing. We are 'covering' our children from head to toe and ensuring that they are ready for their daily challenges and their future endevours, and their walk with the Lord. We all bring along little prayer note books where we write down what we feel the Holy Spirit wants us to focus on in their lives and I so look forward to reflecting on these notes a year from now and seeing my prayers answered. I am so unbelievably grateful for this group. After listening to each ones unique conversation with Him, and having my feelings, thoughts, hopes and dreams said out loud I always feel calm, fulfilled and certain that my girls will have a life with meaning and the ability to cope with anything that comes their way. At the last prayer group we tackled rather serious subject matter, with much grace I might add, of breaking bonds in our lives that we do not want passed down to our children, and I know now without any doubt that my familys tendencies towards mental illness will have no stronghold in my home and on my Gioia and Isla, they will have clear heads forever. I also want to praise the Lord for keeping my girls in good health this winter, neither of them have been to a doctor and Isla has still not had to go on a course of dreaded anti-biotics. This has been my number 1 request at every meeting, 'Supernatural Health'! So Blessed to have you moms in my life, So Blessed to have your children in my home and So honoured to sit beside you as we wage war on all the elements that bring us down. Here's to sharing boxes of tissues as we make our journeys together.
Our children will shine, our children ARE SHINING!
