Another year has gone by..and it has gone so quickly. This school year is especially going by too fast! With my oldest, Megan, being a Senior...I want time to stand still. The process of applying to colleges is well underway and now we wait for acceptances and begin the process of selecting the best fit for her. The moments spent together are precious and I cherish them all.
With the Christmas season here, I ponder on what Mary was thinking as she held the babe in her arms. Knowing that His mission was going to take him away from her. How close she held him as her tears spilled upon his face. Knowing one day he would not need her to care for him, but that He would care for her as her Savior...He would carry her sorrows, hear her prayers and heal her heart.
I know that Megan is going to college and will be venturing into her future. My excitement for her is overwhelming, but also the thought of letting her go is overwhelming. Let go and let God is what I keep hearing deep in my soul. His plan for her is greater than what I could even imagine for her.
Mary held the babe in her arms for a just a little while before she let him go. All along Jesus belonged to God and knew his destiny. Megan is God's child--His destiny for her is yet to be seen in this earthly world, but I trust in Him that letting go of my child is the best thing for her.
My mom and dad say..."don't worry, she'll be home. And home again and home again!" Parenting never ends it just changes. I am ready for this new change and preparing my daughter for her future....guiding her through young adulthood. I am so proud of her and for the young lady she has and continues to become. A woman of character.
Many blessings and Merry Christmas!
