The Day Has Come

I have dreaded this day for a very long time. Pre-school is upon us. Which means my baby girl is in the care of someone other than family or very close friends. She will now have outside influence coming from places other than home or church. Someone other than Brooks or myself will be teaching her new and exciting things.

I know it's just pre-school and I know it's just twice a week, but in my mind and eyes it all begins here. Next year she will be going to kindergarten and then next thing I know she will be graduating high school and then college and then getting married.

My mind is overwhelmed with so many emotions today. Have we done a good enough job teaching her right and wrong and how to act and how to be respectful and obedient? What is she falls down on the playground and skins her knee? What if someone else is mean to her and hurts her feelings? Who will be there to comfort and protect her?

Well more than likely all of this will happen at some point in time and this is where my faith has to be so big. Her loving, heavenly Father will be with her every step of the way. He will carry her and hold her hand when I can't. He will comfort and guide her throughout her new journey. It's so hard to imagine, but He loves her even more than Brooks or I do. She is right in the palm of her hand where she should be and He will never let her go!

Pray for us as we embark on a new journey today!
