"...the journey of caring for, raising, training, and loving children will mark us indelibly and powerfully. We cannot be the same people we once were; we will be forever changed, eternally altered. Spiritually speaking, we need to raise children every bit as much as they need us to raise them."

i just finished reading amy grant's book, mosaic, which as the biggest amy grant fan ever, was a fantastic book. at the end she was speaking about her prayer for her children and i was struck by this one part. she writes, "as i listened to my youngest child pray, i realized, He's finding her...apart from me. and she's responding to him. that's my prayer for my children, that when they feel the pull of God, they respond. that's my prayer for myself as well. didn't God say, 'you did not choose me, but i chose you?' in the end our children's journeys of faith will be as unique as our own. my prayer continues to be, God, find them the way you found me".
