Arrows piercing the darkness

I am reading a fabulous book that has me quite inspired.  The book is One Million Arrows: Raising Your Children to Change the World by Julie Ferwerda.  I have been so bogged down lately reading about how to help my kids survive this divorce and mitigate the damage.  But this book is giving me a vision for me and my kids.  God has a purpose for all of us.  He wants to use our stories to reach the world, each life carefully crafted for a reason, a mission.  This book has made me realize that I am selling my kids short.  They will survive, but will they thrive?  Will they leave a mark?  Will they passionately live out their unique calling and find the fulfillment that comes with it?  And how will they learn to follow God's lead if I don't set the example?  Thank you God for this book and how it is changing my heart.
