Yesterday we told our daughter goodbye and watched her leave
on a mission trip with her school. Off
they went to Nicaragua and for a moment the parents stood in the parking
lot. I heard two of the mom’s say this
was practice for us, as we get ready to send them off to college this
fall. Than one of them said yes but at
least with that we can call or text them whenever we want.
Today I find myself drawn to the Facebook page waiting for
her teacher to post that they made it safely to the place they will be
staying. I know I am not the only one
looking. My best friend is also checking
the site because her beautiful girl also went on the mission. As I sent the last text to her before she got
on the last flight early this morning I found myself in tears. She is my baby, yes she is a senior but still
she is my little girl and this seemed like it would be the hardest 10 days of
my life.
As I cried my husband took my hand and we prayed. I cried and asked God to use her, protect her
and grow her. As I prayed I began to
feel peace. My husband than closed with the most beautiful prayer and my heart felt at ease. As the day has gone I am filled with the love
of the Lord and his son Jesus Christ. I
know that a God who loves us all so much that he would give his only son for us
has only the best for each of them on this trip. Today I am thankful that my girl is in his
hands and I look forward to seeing what amazing things she experiences this
next week. I am really letting go and
fully trusting in God. I know that God
is good and I trust him with all my heart and all my soul.
