Time flys by
As I sit here this morning, sipping on a cup of coffee doing my devotions and listening to the quietness of the house. My mind goes to my kids who are sleeping in their beds safe and warm. It seems like yesterday I was holding Grace in my arms, trying to figure out how to be a mom. Worried I wasn't doing it right. 18 years of my life has been raising kids, making sure they are protected, loved, cared for and have a good sense of who God is.
Time is so short with them, I am a parent who loves having my children home with me during Summer and Christmas break. Thinks both breaks are way to short. The main reason why is because I want every minute with them, I want to experence every new thing in their life with them. I want to be there for them, I don't want to leave that up to a teacher to do.
Micah is about to turn 13 in a couple of weeks, which means another teenager in the house. Which means the releasing a little more of the rope that I hold so tightly on. Allowing him to start using the things I've taught him.
I've watched now 2 come up in my home, and I'm praying every day that I'm showing them healthy ways of living. I've failed many times, and I've not been the greatest role model at times but I know that I've showed them failure and hope amoung the failing. Forgivness and love when you just don't feel like having those.
So as I watch my youngest grow I will sit back, wishing time would slow down but I will also know God is the one in control and I can release my arms that I have around my family just enough to let God through.
