I once had a son who was 12 years old. He was having some trouble with a couple of bully’s on the bus. It was our rule that he had to call me when he came home from school. He called and I asked how the bus ride was. He told me the older boy picked on him again. He continued by saying (very matter of fact-ly), “But Mommy, I’m not worried about it and you shouldn’t either. God will handle it. All I could say was, “You’re right Baby. God will take care of it.” What he didn’t know was when we hung up, I shut the door to my office and cried. I was torn between the fleshy human fiercely protective mom side of me and the level headed faithful christian side. I cried because I was so proud to have 12 year old boy with so much wisdom and faith. I cried because God saw it fit to use my son to bring me into remembrance of something I already knew. I took a deep breath and smiled. My son will be 21 in 7 days…….always remember people aren’t rejecting you. They are rejecting who is in you. Always remember, God will make it for your good….God will protect you. All you have to do is let his love shine through you….all you have to do is be the best you that you can be. Do not conform….transform! Footnote: It was handled. A couple of short weeks later....the family moved away.
