School started, at our house, yesterday and today. I am quickly reminded that I must allow God to be in control of thier lives everytime school starts. For some reason it is so easy to think I can somehow give them what they need, protect them, keep them from evil during the summer.
Putting Corban on the bus yesterday wasn't really easy, but I know how much he loves school. I have enjoyed having him home. Today putting Carson on the bus was hard. It helped that he is so excited for school, but I am scared to let him go. So every morning before they head out I will be up early enough to sit and let God work in my heart.
OK it will also be for some coffee to help me be ready when these little ones must roll out of bed and begin their day. Mostly though it is to let God remind me how precious these children are to him. I will spend time in prayer each morning for thier days events, their protection, thier development, their relationships. I love these little people so much, but I know that God loves them more. They are His children first.
So as much as I don't like the horrible feeling of not bieng with them and bieng able to help them through the day I will be praying for them. I will be more excited than sad for each of them. I will let God work in their lives and try to see His purpose developing in each of them. I will trust God to protect them and keep them safe.
So here we go for a great school year!
