Show me the way..

See this lighthouse....it is supposed to be a guiding light, a warning, a gatekeeper. Yet the light is not working. I am the lighthouse in this picture=broken and unable to guide this young lady as she goes through the rough waters of teenage angst. She is trying to manage so much and needs me to help her avoid the rocks that lie hidden in the deep murky waters. Yet my light is not helping. I am only guiding her ship into the waves that will throw her upon those rocks. God help me.

That is all I know right now. God help me. Why can't I get it right. I quit drinking, I lost weight to get healthy, I have prayed. God I pray. Yet I am no help. I need my own lighthouse, as I hit the rocks in my life. I know marriage is full of its ups and downs. I know I am blessed beyond belief. Help me to keep perspective and get this ship on course.
