Day 146: TRUST

This post is a devotion of TRUST!  I trust the Lord and it's a little bittersweet because our son is going off to college this week.  We are so excited and proud of him and know he will have an amazing experience in college,but......we are definitely going to miss the presence of his humor and spirit in our home!  This week is going to be .....well..... a transition, for sure!

I came across this wonderful post about TRUST which I want to share.  I also came across this adorable dog party video that I want to include in the same post....so I will try to add them both.

What I have realized, is that I must TRUST God that we've raised our son to be prepared to make this adjustment in his life!  That is  HUGE task, but I must TRUST that we've raised him to the best of our ability and he's ready to embark on this next chapter in his life!   We are so happy for him to start his collegiate experience, and we are also happy that he will move forward with God at the center of his life!  
 We also are reflecting on  how much JOY we've had in  raising him this far.  That brings me to my next post, the Dog Party!!  One of his favorite books when he was a tot, was Go, Dog, Go!  It was so much fun reading this book to him and every time, when I came to the part of the book where the Dog Party happened, he would get so excited with anticipation of all the fun the dogs would have at the "dog party"......well this video depicts my image of the dog party quite well. 
So-- for all the parents who are sending their children off to college this fall......I pray for you and your child to have an amazing adventure!  I pray that they will enjoy their new experience and that God will keep them protected and guided through the whole experience!  I also pray that God will comfort parents through this transition, so that it maybe one of celebration of progression and less of sadness over missing their child.
