A Prayer of Restoration*
Heavenly Father,
I lift up my precious child/children to You, asking that they may continually examine their heart and faith. Grant them the wisdom and clarity to test their own feelings, thoughts, values and beliefs, realizing deeply that Christ Jesus dwells within them.
I trust in Your guidance and pray that they will stand firm in their faith, passing every test that comes their way.
Lord, I ask that You guard their heart and actions, so they will do nothing wrong. Not for the sake of appearances, or for my sake, but because doing what is right brings glory to Your name.
May they hold fast to the truth and live in accordance with Your will, for I know that nothing can stand against Your truth.
Thank You, Father, for the strength You give us, even in our weaknesses. Strengthen my child/children to overcome any and all of my deficiencies as their parent.
My deep desire is for my child/children to be strong in spirit and fully restored in their relationship with You. I place them in Your loving hands, trusting in Your perfect plan.
In Jesus' name, I pray,
Amen.
*based on 2 Corinthians 13:5-9

“STANDING IN THE GAP FOR 2ND MOMS”
Me too!
Publishing this podcast & companion blog is one way that I stand in the gap for second moms with similar challenges to what I’ve gone through myself as an adoptive mom.

Through these avenues it’s my desire that many adoptive moms are able to close the gap and feel fully supported in a way that align with their Christian values and helps them grow in their faith while feeling more confident and empowered in their mom roles and beyond.

Have you ever wondered how a tiny seed, when planted in the right environment, receives nurturing care, and is given time to grow, can blossom into a beautiful plant?
This natural process mirrors the journey many adoptive families embark upon. In the garden of family life, each member is both a gardener and a budding plant, contributing to and benefiting from the nurturing environment of the family. But as with any garden, there are obstacles along the way.
Are you frustrated & feeling defeated because your adopted daughter won’t let you teach her anything?
Or your son always insists he already knows whatever you’re about to tell him?
Today’s topic is:
Fostering a positive learning environment for adoptive moms with severely attachment-challenged children or teens.
As moms we want to teach, train & influence our child/children for good. We know that attachment challenges affect learning and behavior in children and teens.
This can create a looming gap between all we’d otherwise be able to teach our children and what they’ll actually be receptive to.
