Here goes....................

Lately I have heard so much about Jochebed, Moses' mother; Hannah, Samuel's mother; and Isaac, being the sacrifice that God wanted Abraham to make. You know these mother's didn't know the outcome of their sacrifices. Jochebed thought she would never see her baby Moses again. Or if he would even live. Hannah knew that she had to turn over her son Samuel to God and he lived at the temple. But, did she know his fate? Abraham had the knife ready to plunge when he was stopped by the angel. What would you do if you did know? Would you do as God has asked of you? Here's where I am going with this. For 11 and 1/2 years I have had the honor of raising this wonderful boy. My son who came to me as a wonderful surprise. I have watched him grow, learn and hurt. Now, I am asked to "sacrifice". He has wanted to go live with his dad. Until now, I knew that it wasn't time and he wasn't ready. I wasn't ready. Now, I am still not ready but God says it is time. So many words from others confirmed this, signs, just hearing from God about this. One of my fears is happening. Knowing this day would come, I am not giving in, but giving him to GOD. His dad is making his way, finding God finally after years of praying. What timing! While that is amazing and wonderful, why am I kicking and screaming but trying to be obedient? I love him. He's been with me for all this time. But, doing what God wants is so huge!!!! I want to do what HE wants me to do. This is my struggle. |
