It has been a very different summer for me this year. This summer marked the first of many I am sure of my teens being away almost the entire two months.
I have had so much time to reflect, read and to sit and listen; but I am so glad that we are together under the same roof again.
September seems to always bring me to a place of goal setting, evaluating routines, new chore charts, adjusting allowances etc etc...
This September my baby goes to High School; and I am not sure how I am feeling about that. This world can be a scarey place for all children (and teens)but especially for ones who deal with special needs.
I am so thankful however that I am not in this alone. There have been many times over the past 5.5 years that I have said rather "tearfully or grudgingly" that I was parenting "alone".
If I had to choose having a partner to "co-parent" with; or Jesus living in me and meeting my needs; it would be an easy choice. Thankfully, I don't have to make that choice; who does a better job with patience, wisdom, kindness, love; me or Jesus? I am not doing this alone; I have the best resource ever-one that is never too busy or insensitive AND He actually can read my mind :)
Father, thank you that even though I am doing this life "alone" for now, you have never let me down, and you promise to meet all my needs!
I choose you!
That's all for now; for all those mom's out there; I will be thinking of you tomorrow as your children take their next steps in their own journeys!
That's all for now!
Jacqueline
