Life At The Well

Sometimes inspiration comes from the most unlikely of places. My middle daughter (age 15) has really been engaged in a quest to grow spiritually and by her own words "eliminate some distractions." Unsure of how to proceed, she decided God was leading her to give up meat as a effort of self-denial and to focus her on Him. That was 6 weeks ago ... totally unthinkable to me that my burger-chomping, barbeque-loving bacon-eater could be so committed and diligent and determined. We talked about what she was learning and frankly, I am in awe of her discernment and wisdom. She's learning .. far earlier than I ever did .. that she doesn't have to be a slave to her appetites. She's hearing from God, so much so that she is recognizng His voice more readily. And on top of that, she felt led to "give up" soda pop during Lent!

I am so proud of her. And so grateful to God. I am inspired ....

Peace.
