I have been pondering many things the past few weeks since my life has become so out of control. There are many things in my life I have done that I have regretted but the #1 thing is not following my parents advise. Young people - your parents may not be your best friend but always know that they are only looking out for your own good. I was a very good kid although very naïve but my parents were always trying to look out for me. I made decisions that hurt them and for years they lived in that hurt. Today, I am reaping what I sowed - although I didnt sow it to the magnitude that I am reaping - and now realize just how much I hurt my parents. Although it was unknowingly - I did & I will forever be sorry for the pain that I caused them. I had already apologized to my parents before Josiah went missing but this continually has been going through my head. The Bible clearly says to honor thy father & mother; (which is the first commandment of promise) in Ephesians 6:2. I know that as a young person you will not always understand why your parents are doing what they are doing (believe me, I felt the same way) but they are honestly looking out for your own good. Unfortunately, some parents take advantage of children & that is when things become very difficult. Especially when a child loves that parent deeply. I have tried to be a parent who would be worthy of the honor a parent is due. I have tried to be not just an authoritative parent but one who they could come to about any problem that they had. I even tried to help my kids friends through things when they needed it. Unfortunately right now I am going through a severe trial & at times have questioned God but as my Pastor has told me for over 1-1/2 years God is in Control and although I do not know why I have had to bear this cross for so long & I can honestly say my flesh is extremely weak - I can feel that I am being carried through this trial by the prayers of the saints. All I can say is God knows all & although I cannot see the light at the end of this long, dark tunnel we have been forced into I MUST have faith that God is protecting my boy & carrying Mariah & I through all of this. Thanks for all of the prayers - #prayersforgyngard
