"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6
When the HomeGrownMinistries Branches were launched I reflected back on my life as a mum. My eldest son is going to be 28 years old this month and my youngest turned 19 last month and finishing with school this years, so my sons are not small at all.
I was thinking of years ago and thought about if I was invited to join the HomeGrownMinistries Branches I probably wouldn't have, but if I was asked to join the Ministry for the healing and restoration of my marriage I wouldn't have thought twice. Let me explain why: because my whole focus was on my marriage and all my thoughts and desires revolved around my marriage. Yes thinking if only my marriage could be restored, even my children will be ok, so all my focus was on my marriage and I have to be honest about it.
Have you ever looked back on your life and thought you missed the whole point? Well that is precisely how I feel! And it has been lying heavy on my heart, so I want to warn other women to not miss the whole point, don't do what I did. I wish I had teached my children that our precious Beloved Lord must be our First Love and when He has our all the rest will just fall into place - I didn't do it and I have to admit I slipped up, please don't slip up, like I did. The whole purpose of life isn't to have have a restored marriage, it is all about our precious Beloved Lord or let me put it this way: it is suppose to be all about Him!
Suddenly my children have grown up so fast and I wish I had enjoyed them more (but I know the Lord is still going to do something huge in my children's life, although I slipped up). So precious woman I want to encourage you to spend your time wisely and enjoy your children. Please join the HomeGrownMinistries Branches, together with your children you can learn so much through the testimonies of mums and children, as well as all the life changing material (that I wish I had) and together we can see what our precious Beloved Lord does.
