I Won’t Let Go

My kiddos are struggling a bit right now…

ALL of them.

New school year, new classes, new seasons of life…

I think one of the hardest things about being a Mama is watching your kids struggle and knowing there is nothing you can do… but be there.

I can’t shield or save them from everything. I wish I could…

Like a butterfly must struggle out of his cocoon in order for his wings to be strong enough to fly, we have to let our children struggle. 

It’s all part of growing up.  Becoming the awesome, brilliant, wonderful people that HE has created them to be.

I am but a vessel… doing the best I know how… in awe that I’ve even been called to do so.

I heard this song today in the truck, and I just broke. 

 

 

As the song played, I thought of each one of them in my heart, and the struggles they are each facing. After the song finished, I turned off the radio.  In the silence,  I took the time to pray for them… each of them individually… lifting them up to the Father as I sat waiting in the school car-rider line.

I just kept repeating these lines over and over…

I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you’ve done all you can do
If you can’t cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I wont let go

When I got home, I hugged each of them tight (one in my heart) and told them each how much I loved them.  I can’t keep them from struggling… but I can be there with them.

ALL of them…

Every step of the way!!
