Footsteps

 

As we go through life and get older, we come to realization that our life may not have been the best.  Who do we compare that too?  TV, friends, other people or just by how we thought we should grow up.

One thing that most of us agree on is that we want our children to have a better life than our own.  We can always point out the struggles in our life as a kid and how it might have been unfair or just plain horrible.  Believe me, I have my share of struggles and if I think about it long enough, it can eat away at me from the inside.

As much as we don't want to turn out like our parents.  I'm sure they weren't praying, Lord let my children by just like me.  Let them parent just like me.  I'm sure they had the same thought as we do then.  They just like many of us parent how they think and thought was best for us at that time.  Many of us can look back and say, Man my parents were not good parents, or ask why did that make that choice and the list could go on.  Well just like us or will be most of us...they parented the best they knew how.  Granted sometimes it wasn't the best but we made it.

I believe that we are going to have some tendencies good and bad that we get from our parents.  However, that should not hinder our thinking of our own life.  I believe that each generation has the power within to break that bloodline (curse).  

No we are not going to be able to do it on our own.  We are going to need the power of God to help break some of those chains, bandages and scars that have left us bondaged by our past. 

Time to get your praise on, your dancing shoes out and a shout in that voice, get your BREAKTHROUGH!  We are claiming victory for our future.  Thank you Lord.
