Our arrows might not fly where we thought we were aiming them, but maybe God has another plan, involving something unforeseen (like a broken arrow shaft becoming some sort of highly useful tool, to extend the metaphor).

I just get tired of people having low expectations of their fruits even if they are doing everything they can to train up their children as they prayerfully see God sees fit mainly because other christians who have children who have fallen away bring them down.I'm not a blab it grab it christian but there are some things that we have to have faith in and training up children is one of them.I agree we do our best to follow a godly life, I think you are but too man people are worrying too much about what the naysayers are saying ,this is one thing that is definitely a walk by faith issue.
