Today was the day- we did it.... we launched our last arrow out into the world. It is so very quiet here in my cozy warm house. The home that was so often a place of shelter, nurture and strength for my children throughout the years. Today was a milestone arrow shoot though.... in the past few years we have launched my daughter into college, marriage and motherhood. Another child the middle or as I now prefer to call it ... my center child (sounds stronger all the way around don't you think) choose a road less traveled during a portion of his growing up years.....but as he grew into a man- I saw a transformation and a miracle day came when he too.... was launched out into his world..the world of buying a home,and the developing of a long term solid friendship that may develop into a life long relationship... that could mean great things for them both! We saw the step of their commitment to Lord...and now we're sitting out and believing for great things for him in so many ways...my center child! God has his hand there- and we have stood on HIS promise that no one feather will be lost with out my heavenly father's hand right there and his knowing of each and every situation! But this last arrow...my "baby" my youngest child.......I am not sure I was ready to let this arrow go! But it was time- and this week we did it- off to college this last arrow! So much I wanted to say yet...so much I wonder if fwe have done right... does he know how to balance a checkbook, do laundry, and boil water? No time for all of those things- but what I do say is " stay strong - strong and straight- be strong in your faith, do not waver...be strong- trust not in your own understanding, and He will make your path straight!" ( I hope he remembers.... )
Lord as my last arrow launches tonight- first give me strength for this journey....this is just you and him God......all the way.. all the way... all the way! Griff my little boy who has grown into a man..... I pray that you will live your life as a man of God..bold and amazing- a world changer!! Anointing and power wisdom discernment and strength be unto you this arrow of mine. Shoot far- embrace with passion what GOD has for you! Reach for the stars....but keep your feet planted firmly in the faith that is your foundation. (and remember to call home... make your bed... change your socks.... and...... ) sigh- go change your world !!! I love you........
