How do you convince an 18 year old that it's not such a good idea to ride a bike home during a thunderstorm?
He's downtown at a coffeeshop where a bunch of kids get together and...well....

What Do You Trust God With?
When my kids were little I worked for a little while for a historic neighborhood association. One day I was driving around (long story, but I was doing my job) a block where a little house had been torn down. That was the first time I noticed "that" house. It had been empty for years, it was boarded up, siding was missing, as was part of the roof.
But it grabbed my attention. No, God grabbed my attention.
Full quiver?
I have to admit, I'm way too sensitive and way too passionate on this one. But it hurts to be told that you don't trust God because of your beliefs in this area.
Let me share a little of my history. When I was first married, I had my first miscarriage at around age 21. And then another - and then I stopped ovulating. At 23 I started fertility treatments (didn't trust God with my fertility, after all, it is God who opens and shuts the womb).
Every single month - my body betrayed me.
