Well this time next week our lives will be different. I usually consider myself someone that likes change because I feel that change involves growing and experiencing new and awesome things that God has for us. But I'm not sure about this change. This change involves driving my only son to college and leaving him there. For the past 18 years I've been able to tell him good night, and give him a hug when I wanted too. Just to know that all your family is home and safe at night brings about a peace. That is soon going to be something of the past, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm excited for him, for all the things he is going to experience and learn, the new friends he will make, and finding the direction God has for his life. But for his mom and me, what we think about is different. We still see that little boy that used to run up and jump into your arms when you came home, the one that needed our help putting his coat on, or used to call for dada when he wanted something. But now he is all grown up and moving out. My prayer is that we have prepared him for all the decisions he will have to make in the next few months of his life. I trust and know that Jesus will be with him even though we will not. But we will still miss our "little boy".
