When my kids were babies I had no idea what I was doing, especially with Kristina. I was 18 years old when she was born and was still a baby myself. Just the year before I thought my Mom was the dumbest human being ever but suddenly I realized she was the smartest person I knew.
.
I would call my Mom over every little thing and I asked her opinion about every little thing. No decision was made without consulting my Mom and if I did take a leap and make a decision I would end up calling my Mom and telling her about it just to get her approval.
.
Times haven't changed too much. I am more confident as a Mother and I make decisions now without thinking twice about them. But, I still consult with my Mom but it is more or less to let her know what is going on, get encouragement or simply laugh at the ridiculous things my children do and say.
.
As Christians we are often in the same boat. We tend to ask everyone else their opinion on something instead of asking God. Other people have no idea what God's purpose is for our lives. "...Everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him." Colossians 1:16 (The Message). Having someone to bounce ideas off of, someone to pray with, someone to support us is great but we must be careful to only have our eyes and ears open to what HE says not what everyone else thinks.
