I have so many desires, I didn't know where to go with this. But it started dawning on me that the one I wanted to share was about my desire to have children. My husband and I had been married for eight years before our daughter was born. I had two miscarriages fairly close together before Kayleigh graced our lives. It was difficult going through the losses and not knowing why this happened or if I would be able to carry a baby to term. But with minor help, a simple progesterone suppository, I carried my daughter to term. Where did those baby years go? It really was so much simpler then. She is now thirteen and her brother twelve. My desire now is for peace between us. These pre-teen and teen years are so hard. Especially with mothers and daughters. I wish we could go one day without her lips snarling at me just for asking "What are you doing?" She is a good kid. She is not into trouble. But I know she is struggling to find her place in this world with her friends and trying to figure out where she fits in and she is pushing her independence with us. Yet, there is still that push and pull of wanting to be grown up and of still needing us. My desire is for her to be happy with who she is. She has a great sense of humor and when she is happy she lights up the room. My desire is to see more of her smile and peace in her heart.
"May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God. May the Lord answer all of your prayers."
Psalm 20:5
