This quote is taken from my book, Prodigal Wisdom, (available through Amazon.com).
"We had to face the truth and that meant turning away from our concerns about appearances and what our peers would think of us as parents. We had to face the delusion we were living and look at the reality of the situation. We had to turn away from the notion that we had some influence and control. WE HAD TO TURN TOWARD THE LORD..who did have power and control."
Although we were facing our son's addictions, I do believe the principle expressed here applies to many life situations...we have to face the truth , the reality, of our circumstances and turn them over to the Lord.
"And he asked them, ' Why are you so afraid? Do you still not have faith in me?' " Mark 4:40,NLT

About Me
- Yvonne B
- Beaumont, Texas, United States
- I have been married to Ralph, a retired Baptist minister, for many years. We have two adult sons. After retiring from teaching, I became a freelance writer and speaker for Christian audiences - especially women. My heart's desire is to share the lessons God has taught and is teaching me during my journey with Him. I love writing and teaching and I think I'm going to love "blogging"! There is such great joy and laughter in living with Jesus; I want to share that with others.
