a moment that is staying in my mind. "i pray for your presence Lord, where ever I go"
that is the way to put it. there's trust in that sentence. there's just no better way to put it. she didnt pray for wisdom or strength.. because she knows. the lords presence is a feeling that is overwhelming and beautiful and stronger than any other earthly presence.
dealing with my mother when talking about christianity is always interesting. she is what i would call a fanatic. she takes it just that step past the line. she has great faith, but to me, she puts christians in that category of crazy people. Marie turkstra prayed that prayer for me last night. she prayed for me not as a child but as an adult. she understood that i no longer stop at the sunday school answer.. i search for more. i feel thats a step my mom will never get too. part of our argument last night was that she wants me to treat her not just like a mother, but like a fellow adult. but it didnt seem to click in her mind that she is going to have to stop treating me as a child. And i know its easier for an outsider to do this, im just really looking forward to the day.
