When Gavin was born, I didn't think about his first day at school because it seemed so far away. But now the day is here, staring me in the face, telling me that time waits for no one. Every second is more precious than the last because I won't ever get it back. And I'm here 5 years older, still discovering new things about myself. But the realization that time really does pass so quickly seems daunting. All I can think about is how much time I've wasted worrying, seeking, sitting, sleeping, waiting. Worrying about what will happen tomorrow, seeking out an answer I cannot find, waiting for the next season to come. Thank the Lord for second chances; for grace to make it all right. For peace during the season; for answers when you least expect them.
And so I accept today for what it is. A new season. My baby boy is growing up, but I look forward to opportunities to teach him exciting things about himself and the world around him. Yes, I will dearly miss the days of reading with him on the couch after breakfast, watching movies during a rainy day, and our walks around the neighborhood. But I look forward to watching him grow into the little man that God has created him for.
Sniff...Sniff...
