Trust

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not depend on your own understanding" Proverbs 3:5
"Don't worry about anything, instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done" Philippians 4:6

Verses that I have read before and each time they bring new meaning.  As Tyler and Erin get ready to embark on new life adventures, I feel Robby and I are also.  I could have never imagined how hard it is to let your children grow up.  How hard it is to let them go.  How hard it is to give them away and trust God to protect them.  I dedicated their lives when they were babies to God.  This time in my life, I feel this is the real test, to see my trust in the dedication of God's love.  First test, Since they have been gone to college and now traveling to the other side of the world (second test). 
I pray, as tears well up in my eyes, knowing they are protected by Him, but that I still have fears and worries.  God please forgive me when my faith fades at times.  The world is a scary and dangerous place.  As a parent, I want to protect them, ALWAYS. My prayer time has gotten intense lately!
So, I am excited for them and their new adventures and experiences.  I will be living through those adventures by pictures and stories they will tell when they return.  It is not only a hard time but an exciting time to be a parent.  I love every part of being their mom.  And I know they get tired of me saying it but I say it anyway, I LOVE Y0U!

Love to all,
