tonight chas came to me saying he had something he needed to talk to me about. he shared with me that recently he's started to notice that he's feeling more mean and negative... just about everything. we had a wonderful discussion about hormones and bodies changing and puberty and periods and pregnancy and all the changes that can send our bodies on roller coaster rides. we talked about how he felt, what he thought, and what i could do to help him. we decided on a few ideas, but mostly we just got it out into the open. we began a discussion that i hope lasts as long as he needs it to.
i've been so worried about him as of late. i have been feeling afraid of loosing him as he grows up. we've always been close -- i have always felt very close to him. he is easy to talk to and i enjoy listening to him and working ideas out with him. i don't want to loose that closeness because of puberty, growing up, hormones, or anything. i've been praying to God constantly about this. asking him to help me know chas well enough to know how to help him through this tough stage of life.
tonight felt like God answering my prayer. i believe He prompted chas to come talk to me. i believe He prepared my heart and my mind to be ready to listen with love.
this goes down as one of my most favorite moments as a mother thus far. i am so grateful that chas trusted me enough to come to me. i hope he always feels that way. i hope i can always retain his trust and confidence.
i felt hopeful after we got through talking. chas thanked me and i thanked him. the Spirit was there.
that's how i saw God today.
