I pray a whole lot more than I used to. Once the kids become teenagers and they have a driver's license, they interact with the world in a whole different way than when they were little and you knew where they were every minute. When they were toddlers, I would be in the kitchen cooking dinner and could tell what toy they were playing with in the living room by the sounds I could hear. You all know what I mean.
There is so much out of my control now that I pray that their Dad and I have done a good job of teaching them. So far DD20 and DD17 are good kids making good decisions. I realize I am supposed to raise independent, responsible kids and praying helps me send them into the world with peace.
