A worried Mom

I know I should not be because I know God is in control; but I am a mom. My son and his wife moved to semminary in NC last month. He quit his job to go to semminary becaue he felt that was where God was leading him. I know I should just be ok with that and I am but part of me still worries. They have not got jobs yet....School has started he has all his classes on Monday which leaves the rest of the week for work when it comes. I've talked to him about applying for assistance or unemployment and he says "Yeah, we talked about that,but...." And I think BUT WHAT son you need to pay rent and bills and have food for your family. I know God has provided for me when I was in a bind but this is my kid. Ya'know! We probably help them out as much as we can but I want him to do his part too ya'know...

My son in law is also looking for a job. My daughter thankfully has a good job now so they will be ok but have to cut corners a bit more. My son in laws unemployment runs out this week also.

My prayer....God I know you are always there and look out for your children. These are my children, Lord. I am afraid for them. My concern for my children is not as great as your concern for your child was because my children are not facing death on a cross; but it is concern and I know You know about that. Please help these young families that my son and daughter are a part of to get jobs to be able to follow your will for their lives... Thank you in your precious name...AMEN

I understand your concerns. I have a son at Duke in NC working on his doctorate. He has three children. My other son is not happy in his job and is looking for another. I am thankful for God's provision. I do hope that God will not challenge either son with loss of income. God knows our hearts.
