Strength and Confidence

"You then, my son (and daughter), be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus."  2 Timothy 2:1

Lyssa had a job interview today!  Doesn't she look beautiful?!




And as soon as the interview was over she was sweet to send me a text:

"I TOTALLY nailed it!"

She won't know right away if she got the job, but I love her confidence.  She went in with a little fear, but overall she was strong, confident, and at peace.

I pray that she always lives in the knowledge that she is wonderfully made by her Maker, and she can be strong and courageous knowing He goes behind and before her.

You go, girl!

Lord, all that you've created is good, and that even includes each of your children.  Thank you for fearfully and wonderfully making each of our children, giving them each such beautiful gifts and talents.  In those gifts, I see an amazing confidence and strength.  Continue to build in Alyssa and Kyle a determination that they can do anything as long as you're beside them, providing all the strength, wisdom, and peace that they need to complete their job, move forward, and excel.  Help them to always look past their fears and doubts, and depend on you to lead, guide, and provide all that they may be lacking, in order to stand firm in their callings.  Never let fear and anxiety overtake them.  May their confidence always come from you, and in the knowledge that they are your child and you are with them, loving them no matter the outcome.  I know you have great things planned for their lives, and those plans aren't for harm, but they are for good.  Oh, dear Jesus, I can't wait to see those plans unfold in their lives.  May their confidence come from knowing you!
