chosen by God
marked for a purpose
Floundering
wondering
why and when will he know
"Don't we all have a purpose"?
Yes.
"I don't"
Oh yes son you do!!
This boy...
with a heart toward God
yet a heart overcome with fear.
Yes.
"I don't"
Oh yes son you do!!
This boy...
with a heart toward God
yet a heart overcome with fear.
A heart filled with sadness
Loss
Feeling unworthy
Questions
"I pray but
"I pray but
He doesn't hear me.
He doesn't bless me."
This boy
wonders what he did.
How do you tell him that he did nothing.
Wondering why he has a dad like he does
why is his mom sick
why can't he do better in school.
Why?
No answers.
But this I know.
This boy...
is loved!
This boy...
loves!!

This boy
may not feel blessed
but he IS a blessing.
This boy will be used by God.
This boy will be used by God.
He will have a story.
He will reach out.
This boy...
how I love him.
Thank you, God, for entrusting this boy to me.

ALL things.
Prayers...

Confident...
that He who began a good work in the Boy will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
That was beautiful. That is one blessed boy!
This boy is blessed to have a mom like you.
A warm hug for you and your son.
Lots of love too
Beautiful Sheryl. "This mother" , who is a blessing to so many, has an army of prayer warriors who intercede daily on David's behalf.
Thank you Jesus for the privelege of intimate communication with You.
Love you Sheryl,

Beautiful! What a blessing he has in you.
God will use him in mighty ways.
Just BEAUTIFUL!! I have a "This boy" too. Such beautiful, sensitive hearts. O that they knew how MUCH we adore them and see them. And how MUCH MORE God does. Thanks, Sheryl.
Sheryl,
thanks for stopping by...no I don't think I will start blogging....I might even blog more...It may even energize me...I have something new I am going to launch in a couple of weeks and it has been fun working on it...I may have just found something that will tie together babies and a baby.
I am sure there will be nights that I won't have the energy but I think I may can give some help to other bloggers that will help them with their decorating.
Hope you have a great week.

This boy has an amazing mother who loves him more than he could ever know.
This boy is in my prayers daily.
Beautiful Post
Hope things are going somewhat better now?
Hope you have a great Wednesday!
Hugs and love to you!
Amazing. Praying now for this boy and his momma.
BEAUTIFUL! I can feel his anguish and your unconditional love in this post. Praying for you both!
He has you Sheryl, for a mom, to help guide him and teach him. This was always God's plan...and you're right, He does have a purpose for your son, now it's just a matter praying...and patience. I wanted to thank you for the kind words you left on my blog the other day - they truly are appreciated!

I am a new follower of yours and I just wanted to say that I enjoyed your post set like flint. It was inspiring.
Beautiful.
So beautiful...thank you for sharing your amazing gift of words...and your heart for the man-child you are given to raise.
very heartfelt
very touching
The prayers of a mother are so powerful and heartfelt. He is a gift from God to you. Gifts are given to us out of a heart of Love. You are right..."he" is for a reason and a purpose bigger than we can know right now. He has you...and he has all of our prayers. This post is so well written and shares your love for him in a real way.
I loved reading your poem. I believe God gave mothers a tender heart toward their children, so that they would always be their advocates on earth and their intercessors in prayer. Your mother's heart is clearly seen in your poem...you love that boy!
Blessings to you and him.
Charlotte (a fellow mom of boys)
Oh Sheryl, what a beautiful poem. I'm soaking up your blog tonight - you're an amazing woman.
