YOUR WISHES
Moms have great wishes. They wish for many things, best of all they wish for their children’s best. Mom, you do have a propelling desire that has pushed me to my current level. You always wish and desire the best for me. One fact though Mom is that you have failed to realize is that God also has his wishes and plans for me. God had created me for the fulfillment of his purpose on earth. Remember that saying “your children are not your children”. That is very true. You are my caretaker.
God owns me and he has designed my life to suit his purpose. You may have your best wishes but God’s wish comes paramount. He has designed the best for me. He made me come through you and not from you and designed me to fulfill his purpose your wishes cannot fathom.
Mom, your wishes can only take me as far as starting school but God’s wishes had sticked with me even before you knew what I would look like. His wishes stick with me through life’s existence. Your eyes are blind as much as you can see. You have a very limited view of the future I will live in. God made me because he knew I could never be useless. There is something valuable about me; something that the world needs. God the master chess player has perfected his game and I as his pawn, I am in a strategic position to come through life the best.
Your wish is not bad Mom. However, you need to recognize that I have my own wishes too. During my growing years, I am heavily influenced by the things I see. A picture is created in me, which defines my mentality about life. Sometimes I do feel I have to control my existence. You may feel sad that I seem to be squandering all the good plans and thoughts that you have managed to gather for me. It is always a struggle. Mom if you do listen carefully, you will hear a quiet whisper, “leave him alone I am in charge”. That’s God speaking.
I may not be heading towards your choice of career or join the status class game. This may hurt you. You need realize that God did not play me into the world’s class game. He made me to play a role no one has ever played.
You have achieved so much mom and you even own a company. You strongly desire I take over from you. That is a great wish. Though, sometimes kids takeover from their parents, there are diversions. Moms have crossed paths of their children and have allowed conflict steal the joy between themselves and their children. We both should not allow such things to disrupt our relationship.
My wish may not be your wish but this does not mean I do not have a great future. You do need realize that you have created your glory path and I do have to create mine. I will not want to be overshadowed by your large shoe.
You cannot picture my future however hard you try. Your dreams will not even take you there. You can only speak for what you can see. All you can do mom is support me with all the encouragements believe and hope you can garner. I need you so much and I do need your wishes too. Beyond that, God has programmed a better wish ahead.
Now you know mom that the moms of those great achievers you know all had great wishes for their wards, a driving force that propelled their wards to the point where they could make their own wishes. As a matter of truth, my wishes depend on your wishes. How good your wishes for me are will determine the wishes I will be making too. Remember God the wish creator is drawing the strings to ensure I and my siblings come through the best you always want me to be.
With love
Your beloved daughter
