.... watching in awe....

... my daughter is making new friends....   figuring out High School life,  the location of her classrooms and her locker .... the anxiety about the unknown is evaporating and she very soon will feel very comfortable in her new surroundings and who she is growing into.... a young girl on the way to adulthood.., becoming stronger and more independent every day...
I am blessed to be walking alongside her for a few more years...the last 22 years of being a mother this is what I have enjoyed the most.. watching in awe how these little munchkins were growing and changing, the things they would say, the insight they would share, the joy they would have... what a privilege, what pleasure...
The miracle of life...
.. I am making new friends, I am figuring out my life as a single mother, a woman on her own, what it means, how it feels... the good things about it, and the stuff I do not like... as I am I am becoming stronger and wiser... I am growing up more in my faith and my understanding what life really is meant to be...
my heart feels nice and warm knowing that my Daddy in heaven is watching me with the same pleasure ... excited about every new insight I gain, proud of me for being able to keep on keeping on, loving me for who I am...cheering me on when I don't want to face the trials...faithfully walking alongside me.

Blessings everywhere,  new friends enriching my life, the joy of serving Him in new ways, stronger and deeper bonds with my faithful companions, the friends that are Christ to me every day, my children's love.....walking with the lover of my soul, my best friend and counselor... our relationship closer than  ever before... how sweet the fellowship with Him...

...living He loved me... dying He saved me, buried He carried my sins far away, rising He justified freely forever... one day He's coming.. oh glorious day....
