An awesome Design....

God has created each of us with a very unique design. Even exact twins will be different from each other as their is no one like you. God has also created our children with a very unique design and He has uniquely pre-wired each child for His purposes with specific gifts, talents and passions.
Ephesians 2:20
19-22That's plain enough, isn't it? You're no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You're no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home. He's using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what he is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now he's using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home.

Parents need to discover heavens blueprint within each of their children and cultivate it. This spring, Carol and I are letting Kyle decide if he wants to play baseball or not. Either way is ok with me because he has to have passion in what he does and not just to do something to make someone else happy. I am happy with him regardless if he plays or not - maybe Soccer is his deeper passion as far as sports. I will accept his decision either way. I also accept that Kyle understands science - he struggles some with math - God has made him special and with his own style - his own likes and dislikes. We are the same way - many of us struggle in certain areas and situations and excel in others. So many of us also work so hard had trying to improve what we not so good at or bad at and drive ourselves nuts to be better at - when we should be working on the things we are already good at and make them better! Imagine how much further you would go improving on the very thing we are already good at!
We need to teach our children to seek the Lord and to commit their abilities to Him. Not everyone can run a company - not everyone can be CEO - not everyone can be a teacher or a nurse .... but God has created us all to do something that is what we are designed to do.

Continue to pray for God to reveal your gifts, passions and talents..... you may be surprised at what He shows you - what He shows you about your children........
