Thankful for being able to rest in Him

I went to bed last night thinking of my children, as i usually do, but this night was different. I had such a heavy desire to pray even more that God would save my baby's. I thought of what Mia would be like as a young lady, would she be easily transformed for this world, or would she have a broken and soft spirit towards God. Would Gabriel be a man of God, desiring only Him? I went to bed a little burdened, and woke up at 3 am with a heavy heart to just pray for them. I have sometimes a fairy tale image of life, which isn't always a bad thing, but oh oh how i as every parent want not only the best for my children but most of all, i want to see their faces in Heaven. Oh how i love them, it's so burned in me how much i love my children. Tonight in our women's study, we talked about"letting go" of our little ones to the Lord, and the question was asked is it hard to do. Since i'm a mom of only 18 months i know that i haven't really had to let go of them in a lot of situations.What i do have to let go of , is the fact that i really actually do not have control over their lives, God does. That is something i CAN rest in!
