Ladies, I am humbly asking for your prayers for our family. We are dealing with some 'big kid' problems, we have a child struggling with some moral issues. God love him. It hurts me to see him fight so, but I know God is with him. As parents, we feel like we are taking punches left and right too. We are getting a lot of 'big family' flak from family, strangers, and everyone and their brother. Please pray for our strength and perseverance. Thanks so much!!

Praying Lisa. It hurts so much to see our children hurt. I am sorry you are getting such negativity toward your lovely family. Praying that God will give you strength.

Praying for you all, Lisa. You know, big family or small(er) family, we're all human. That means we all have struggles; it's a shame people feel like family size is the cause.

Peace,
Nancy

Praying. It is so hard for our oldest as they head out into uncharted territory, and for us as we try to guide them, not sure how much and how often we need to step in.

PM me if you need an ear. We have been through a lot of challenges with our oldest.

"Big kid" challenges, especially with the first, are...shocking, humbling, frightening...at least from where I sit . Having gone through this once and heading into our second, I'm praying with much sympathy. I'm sorry that outsiders are contributing to the difficulties...as if difficulties aren't a normal course of life - sheesh.

Praying for you, dear.

Love,
