This morning has gotten away from me once again.... between the phone ringing for the biz and watering the yard and garden I haven't gotten much else done! AACK!
Yet here I am typing a new post on my blog... I needed a coffee break anyway!
Well today was the first day of Ryans sophmore year... as if saying it makes it feel any less surreal... I just can't believe I am the mom of a sophmore in highschool...my first born will be able to drive in 2 months...where oh where did the years go and how did they go so fast? Three years left of highschool and he will be an official grown-up ... well in relative terms.. where will his life lead him? My hopes and prayers are to a place that makes him happy to a job he actually enjoys but before that hopefully he will decide college is for him so he has a little more time to really decide what path to take ....then again do we ever REALLY know?
I mean I am 41 years young and my life path is still unwinding before my eyes....life is a series of decisions some good some bad but all of them worth living as they build our character and ultimatly make us who we are ... I just hope I have given him enough of a foundation to be strong for the sad times and wise for the hard choices life throws our way and happy for the most part ...I mostly just want my kids to have a compassionate heart for others and be kind and honest! My prayers for them are a happy life a life lived and a life loved and of being loved...
With all that is going on in our world now a days it can be scary... but I hope I have taught them the love of Jesus that no matter where we are He is there ... He never leaves our side it is us that leaves Him ... He is always there all we have to do is call on Him... if all else fails I hope and I pray that is the one thing they always remember!
So here's to life and having a hand to hold ! Peace G
