When sending them off feels hard

Been a little MIA while I’ve soaked up every last minute of summer with Miles (and the summer rain off my basement floor 😫).

Prayers to all the moms and dads who are doing ALL the things tonight. Packing the backpacks, making the lunches, laying out the clothes…writing the notes that they’ll strategically find. 🥹

I know for some, the beginning of school feels like relief. But if you’re like me, it brings a whole wave of sadness and anxiety. It’s exciting, but it’s also that “wait…you’re really leaving me tomorrow?” “How are you in 5th grade when yesterday you were just a baby” feeling. 😭

Remember this….

Psalm 121:8 (MSG)

“God guards you from every evil,
he guards your very life.
He guards you when you leave and when you return,
he guards you now, he guards you always.”

You might not be able to walk through those school doors with them this year… but God does. ❤️

And I think that’s exactly what I need to remember .,.
