Psalms 127:3-5 states that children are a heritage from the LORD, a reward from him. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are children born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemy at the gate. It is remarkable how God has given His word to fit every situation in our lives. We were pondering about the ways of our children and how God blessed us to raise six beautiful, now, adults. Sure, they all have their idiosyncrasies, but they are a blessing from God. We raised them in the admonition of the LORD and we believe that God is fulfilling his promise in their lives, as they grow to know him deeper. We have four young women and two young men who know Jesus Christ as Savior. WE ARE BLESSED! We believe our quiver is filled with arrows of righteousness according to the Psalm. Our prayer is that allow the LORD to aim them strategically by his spirit to defeat the enemy.
We have claimed God's promises for their lives! In their ranks is a science teacher, she believes God created the heavens and the earth and all that dwells in it. An aspiring lawyer, whose goal is to become a judge for social justice, and a mother of three growing children, an Army Veteran who is now Chairman of Deacons/Missionary Ministry leader; an aspiring electrician/ministry support, and a youth minister/missionary soon to become a nurse. All praise and glory be to God! These are the children of our youth, and the arrows that fill our quiver. They have their own struggles and testimonies of how good and merciful God has been to them. We are firm believers that if you train up a child in the way that he/she should go; they will not depart from it. we have included a link to one of our daughter's website http://www.godsanointedmin.com/Please visit and rejoice with us in what God is doing through her life.
Blessings-
