A New Season

Today is a HUGE day in our household.  We will launch a Kindergartner, a 4th Grader and a 6th Grader!! Whew!! Where did the time go, I have been here since minute one and I tell you that the time flew by.  I am extremely proud of my little baby birds and I am fully confident in the Lord, that they will soar as they leave the nest yet again for another school year.  We have had a wonderful summer of lazy days at the pool, beach, in forts made of comforters, our front yard, the BIG family road trip and on the cozy couch watching a favorite movie for the thousandth time.  I will not shed a tear, but will rejoice as they are going off to do that which they have been called to do.  The bible is clear that we are called to let our light shine, the light of Jesus.  We are anticipating hearing wonderful stories of new friends made, old friendships rekindled and of many opportunities  to share the love of Jesus.

They were all so excited to strike out on their BIG day ahead.  My oldest daughter could not contain her smile.  My youngest daughter told me that it was now "my time".  My little man announced that he would not be sucking his thumb anymore.  Well, they are well on their way and I guess it's "my time".
