He Carried ME!

I sit here and tears fill my eyes as I think about my children starting school tomorrow! I have one going into 1st grade and one going into Kindergarten. These first school years are tough on a mom! This is where it shows how well you have raised your kids the first 5 years, and what needs to be done to keep them on the right path.

I have found myself reflecting on the past 6 years of my life. So much has happened that there isn't enough blog space to write it all out! During one of my many moments of going through the past I had a flash of myself being carried by someone as if it were all in fast forward! I really feel like the Lord gave me this vision to show that He was always there even when I couldn't, or didn't want to, see Him. In the Bible, the book of Esther carries that same message! Nowhere is God mentioned, yet his fingerprints are over EVERYTHING in it! How special I feel knowing that thousands of years ago he cared just as much for those people as He does for me today! Even though the past 6 years had its peaks and valleys, He carried me through it all and left his fingerprints all over every minute and every huge situation I encountered. He wept with me, laughed with me, rejoiced with me, and embraced me! The awesome thing is that He NEVER stops doing those things!

Like the song says, "God is good all the time! He put a song of praise in this heart of mine!"

So how does this relate to my kids going to school? Well, He's carried me this far, why would He put me down and just walk away? He will do the same for my children as they continue to grow and learn. That is encouraging to me as a mom who doesn't want them to go or do anything without me because I love them so much! He will be with me tomorrow as I drop them off and all day long reminding me not to worry because He loves them more than I ever could!
