Being in Distance

Life is never easy when it comes to a mother’s emotions.

Whether our kids move out or live at home, go hang with friends, go on vacation, or simply move forward in their adult lives, a part of our heart always goes with them.

And as we begin moving on ourselves~adventuring into life because our once‑babies are now out there living their own~yesterday reminded me why it’s so hard for parents to let go… even though we must trust them to spread their wings.

Last night I went to bed with a heavy heart.

I got a call no mom ever wants to hear: my baby had been in a car accident.

By the grace of God, he is okay~sore in places, in need of some medical care, but alive and able to speak.

I swear I wouldn’t thank anyone before Him.

The moment I heard my son’s voice on the phone, my lungs remembered how to breathe.

It’s crazy how no matter where you are in the world, or where they are, you have to lean on the Almighty~

because without Him you wouldn’t be here from the start,

and without Him you wouldn’t have been blessed with these amazing children in the first place.

I don’t know where my life would be without them.

i would cross a thousand of these mountians just to get to them.
