This afternoon, I had such a reality moment when I went to pick up my 12 year old Noah from football practice. As soon as I turned into the school parking lot my tummy was doing flips of excitement. I couldnt wait to hear all about his day and how practice went. Once my eyes caught sight of him I immediately began to smile, but once he got into the car my eyes started to well up as He spoke about his day. What happened to my lil boy, his voice, did he grow taller in the past 12 hours, his blue eyes --they looked even more dazzling than I had remembered. It took everything I had to not jump into his seat and hug em till he whispered, MOM I cant breathe. Why today, of all days did I feel these emotions. Fighting back tears I quickly glanced out my side window wiped away the tears. Oh how I wanted to start throwing out all kinds of so how was.....but sumpin said, listen, dont speak.......at that point he began to ask his younger brother how his day was, about his teachers, and instantly my tears turned into laughter as in that moment I caught a glimpse of the man that is to be. Oh dear God all I can say is thank you for allowing me this amazing opportunity to be a part of such a beautiful process we call parenthood. I know with you by my side we can and will handle any and all things thrown our way. I realize One day you will call Him back home, until then with your grace and Holy Spirit we will make mistakes, learn and grow in relationship with each other and more importantly with you. My hope for Him is that he loves you more than he loves ANYONE else. That you become his rock, his light, his one true love. That is my biggest wish which can only come true if I am walking the same walk. With tears in my eyes as I type away, I smile for we have been granted yet another beautiful day! Thank you Jesus for softly whispering in my ear as my purpose at that moment became oh so clear. Blessed beyond measure, not because life is perfect, but because it is always worth it!!!! good night friends --may our friendship continue to be a blessing to one another!
