As we are dealing with Alex and her eating disorder, it’s been very difficult for us. I feel like walking through a field of land mines everyday. I am learning more to walk in the sensitivity of the Holy Spirit so that I don’t step on a land mine. I make mistakes and step on a land mine but by the grace and power of Christ, I recover and walk through the field again.
I am not sure how long and intense this battlefield will be. Tomorrow we see her pediatrician for a well visit. Please keep this in your prayers for us.
I’ve been mediating and believing this Isaiah chapter over Alex and all the young people that our prayer group is assigned to pray for. Devastation of our children and teenagers are great. Without a revival, many in this generation will not make it through the pandemic. As we are entering the third year of the pandemic, a doctor friend shared with me that historically a pandemic lasts 4-5 years. Let’s keep on praying for a revival. God hears our prayers and sees our tears for our children and their peers.

Mother’s instinct wants me to drop everything and focus only on helping Alex. However I feel that I am to still work as God’s ambassador in church and school communities that I have been placed in. Holy Spirit, please guide my steps forward.
Luke 14:25-27 – The cost of being a disciple
25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple. 27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
