I am moving from the role of "mother raising kids" to "mother watching kids fly"
Don't get me wrong my kids are wonderful, I am very proud of them and I love to see them grow... I just wonder... What Now? How will things change from here? Will I really be able to meet the challange that is ahead?
I ran across a friend"s blog today, and thought I would share it. It speaks volumes to my heart.
A PRAYER FROM MY JOURNAL... FOR ME AND FOR US.Lord, So much of this life is lived in between; between the now and the not yet, between arriving and departing, between growing up and growing old, between questions and answers. Lord, help me... help us not to live for the distant day when the in-between will be no more, but help us have the courage to step into that sacred space of the in between --- knowing that this is a place where life is transformed.Psalm 46 is a good one! Well all the Psalms are good. They are songs that come from the heart. This Psalm talks about a tool that God uses to shape busy people like you and I: God speaks in a still small voice - He challenges us to turn down the roar of our lives in order to recognize His voice."Be Still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord Almighty is with us." Being still is not doing nothing. Being still is about quieting ourselves and letting the character of God be where we place our trust. People who are willing to "be still" are better able to hear His "still small voice." Are you slowing down each day enough to hear his voice.---Terry
Pray for me would ya? It is dark in here right now, and the roar is deafening.
I'll keep you posted.
