As I grow closer to You...

I find myself withdrawing from my family---no, not my husband or my children, my parents.  Especially my mother.  I struggle a lot because I think she is confusing my faith in God as making her feel inferior.  I have made some pretty crappy decisions in my life--some of which might effect my kids.  I pray she understands the Kelly she knows is here, I am just forever reprogrammed.

I want her to be happy for me.  For my family.  

I have come to the conclusion that we both will never be the people we want each other to be.

As sad as that is, I am willing to accept it as I am not willing to conform to the ways she thinks I should be.

My husbands fave verse:

Romans 12:2

Do not be conformed to this world, but  be transformed by the renewal of your mind that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Let me pray over this tonight.
