Planted

Heather's last day in college at SDCC.
She's a junior now. WOW. How did that happen?

Seems like a couple of weeks ago we were going for orientation weekend with a nervous, uncertain freshman.

So, now we have entered the busy, on-hold-but-not stage.
The decision-stage. I am not sure how to direct the next steps.
I do know that I need to pray more.

Here's the sweet part: the "mum's" have teamed up to pray. What better thing could we do for our kids than gather together to lift them, the trip, and our selves up? Nothing. Prayer is a needful thing. A critical component to being in God's will, and being in obedience. The only way to raise up godly kids is to plant yourself at the throne of grace and stay awhile.

I am happy to have company there. It isn't exactly a place that can become crowded, but I am so excited to be joined in purpose and heart with the women who shepherd my daughter's closest companions. What joy I expect to find there! What a sense of purpose and honor to hold up these precious gifts before the Lord and seek His face for them!

I am excited to see how the Lord will speak.
May He find in us ears that hear and hearts ready to listen and obey.
