Choices

Days have passed.

Time is a funny thing...It seems to creep until you find that you have procrastinated and there isn't enough time to do or say all that you meant to.

I am a terrible procrastinator. My sense of time seems to be all skewed up. I can't really fault Heather for having the same problem in some areas...after all, I am her mother! I don't want to find that I have left things undone. or unsaid.

Heather has been and is amazing. She has already taken care of some big details. Not the ones I would have liked done, of course. Priorities are definitely a personal choice. But details, nonetheless.

Big decisions are coming up. Airplane tickets. Travel Insurance. Deposits. School Registration. DATES. It all seems to come down to that. When to go. What to see, and when. Where to stay, and when. How to purchase, and when. Missions trips, and when.

The great thing is, I can trust Heather to make these decisions. You see, she doesn't make them on her own. Yes, she has to check with her Musketeers to get their input. Yes, she has to have the money in the bank. Yes, she has to check availability and suitability. Yes, she asks for our input. But more importantly, she knows the One to seek for wisdom and counsel. She goes to the Source. I know she runs to Jesus. The One who holds her in the palm of His hands. The One who knows the end from the beginning. The One who knows the number of hairs on her head. The One who loves her with an everlasting love.

And because she runs to Him, I can trust.

I know Jesus has her covered. Therefore, I know He has this stuff covered. And so much more. So, I can rest in trusting Heather. She's already at His feet...trusting Him for the answers.

So, I get to pay attention to my part. Saying and doing, in the right time, without procrastinating. I get to enjoy my time with her. Enjoy watching her continue to grow. To learn. To pray. And watch what God is doing on her behalf.

What joy!
