As I sit here over a cup of coffee - just long enough between Austen's pre-graduation preparations to take a breath - I reflect.
Our four youngest will graduate bi-annually for the next six years, beginning today.
Just as quickly as they came into our lives with great joy, they will also "leave" to live their aspirations.
I love our kids immensely, and all my craziness is just because I want them to experience God's absolute best.
Intellectually, I realize I cannot force this, but often (especially in these types of seasons) the swells of the heart overrule reason.
I am grateful that all of our children know and live with Jesus...and that God will direct their paths and keep them.
Preparing for a day of tears - sorrow for time gone, pride for today's significance, hope and joy for the future's promises. <3
