Spare the Innocent

Once again I am up thinking about my little girls and how I am going to raise them in this world that we have given them. It scares me to death! Thinking about how bad it was when I was in school (and I went to a Christian school), I cannot even imagine what it is going to be like for them! So many people tell me, "Oh you just got to try to raise them right... point them in the right direction and hope they make the right decisions." I say that is bull-crap!  I say we lock them up and do not let them out until they are 35! Oh do not worry, I am not going to do that... though I must confess there are many times I seriously want to do that. It just worries me because now even raising them in just a Christian environment is not "safe" enough. Too many Christians have been duped by the world and you cannot tell where their "christianity" begins and the world ends. Too many christians are of this world and not just in it. Its not just the younger generation it is my generation too! Being in a Christian school I thought (and my parents thought) that I was safe from some of the pressures and influences one would find in a public school. To my shock it was quite the opposite. Oh, the kids there were good at hiding what was going on to all the teachers, but it was all there. Maybe not as bad as some where else, but it was there all the same. Young adults have bought into the worlds mentality of "all roads lead home" and the fact that... if you do not try it, you are a loser! How am I to raise daughters in a world where young people seem to have no respect for themselves much less anyone else!? A world where the human race rapes and murders one another... where family members molest and abuse... where you cannot feel safe in your own home... where it is okay to murder your own child if you do not want them or if they are not perfect enough... where it is okay to have sex outside of marriage as long as you are "safe" about it... a world where a man sleeping with a man or a woman sleeping with a woman is just fine... a world where aids and STDs are the norm... a world that is completely filled with darkness and is just getting darker. A world that has allowed satan and his minions to take control... and christians who have allowed him to put blinders on their eyes. It saddens me to see this happening... and scares me. So many do not see it... there are some who do... but they are in the minority. Dear God! I pray that you return soon! Spare our children from the evil of this world... not for our sakes but for theirs. Return before they lose their innocents! They are precious and they are our gifts from you... our opportunity to make this world better... but I fear it is too late. I fear we have fallen to far into the darkness and there is no coming back.

I know some of you may think I am crazy for writing this, but this is just a desperate cry of a mother. A mother who fears for her children's future. I know that this is probably a step backwards for me.. what with trying to work on my fears... but I do not think this is a fear I will ever be able to get rid of... not until the day my Lord returns.
