In the parenting road trip one faces all kinds of weather. For a while the weather here has been overcast but not particularly difficult to maneuver However I see a storm cloud in the near future that is distressing. It is one of those that you know the rain is going to come down so hard that it is going to be practically impossible to see where you are going. You know that it is going to take everything you have to stay on the road. It is the kind of cloud that makes you wonder if the yonder destination is worth it.
Peter has made some choices and now I have choices to make. Am I going to use the opportunity for training and head into the storm or do I enable poor choices and avoid the storm? The choices wont just affect Peter and me, but others around us as well. The issue itself is not life threatening in anyway. To some it may be considered small. However considering the direction Peter currently is going, I do believe that the issue is an important one. I have to tell you the whole thing has me distracted and disturbed.
If you think about it, would you pray for me to have God's wisdom for how to to handle this issue and the courage to follow through. Pray that I can set my emotions aside to do what I need to do. Pray that I will find my peace in Christ and not an environment that I try to engineer. And please pray for the Plants family as Christmas will most likely NOT meet "all is merry and bright" expectations.
