SubscribeMy daughter’s spiritual awakening
I don’t want to be sappy but the other day my daughter told me something that almost took my breath away.
She returned from a weekend church youth group retreat, smiling and bubbling with stories. She talked and talked, about her new friends, the Bible study, the group discussions and the singing. In the midst of recounting the events, my 15-year-old turned to me and said, “Mom, I realized that I had not been connecting with God.”
What a powerful spiritual awakening. I looked at her in awe and admiration, silently giving thanks. She is on her journey toward a stronger faith.
