Reason I chose the name ‘solidcore’.

Well, most of what I’ve done here thus far is complain.
Now it is time for me to praise and rejoice in the Father.

My daughter is 13 and my son is 6. I have been more blessed (and more challenged) then I ever could have imagined by being a mother.

Though I am, understandably biased, my kids are wonderful, intelligent, compassionate and absolute treasures from heaven.

My daughter recently said something to me that brought tears to my eyes (okay, I have to confess that I cry easily from sadness and joy).

She said that as she has watched me and seen the challenges I go through she has seen in me a solid core. She said I never give up my faith and never give up hope. She said I don’t compromise my integrity.

Wow, pretty awesome things to hear. I have been through a lot (who hasn’t?) but I will solidly and firmly stand on the truth and love and grace and salvation of Christ. There is no better place to stand.

I was really blessed by what my daughter said, I am blessed to observe both my children hungering for God and His truth and love.

Just a thought to share-one of my favorite verses is Proverbs 3:5-6. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.

I have loved this verse for a long time as I have learned more about trusting God. But, more recently I was thinking about the ‘trusting Him with all my heart’ part of the verse.

I realized that it was not only an expression of complete trust but it also meant I can trust Him with everything in my heart.

I can trust Him with my hopes, disappointments, weaknesses, I can even trust Him with the sinful nature that is in my heart. It has broadened my understanding, I am still learning, and I find the depths of His love to be amazing and awesome.

Hugs to ya’ll,
Solidcore

That is wonderful, solidcore! I know how special it is when one of your own children says something like that. It blesses us, but it also makes us so happy to see this type of insight in our own child.

I can REALLY relate to your post....about being so blessed AND so challenged in being a mom. Whew...it's been quite a ride and it is far from over. I fail so many times. But I wouldn't trade my family for the world. I know this is God's will for me. Very humbling, very exhausting, but also great.

Wonderful post, and welcome to CF!
