27 days and counting. . .

"Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself."

~Matthew 6:34

Is it possible that this is all a dream? Will I wake up to a house full of kids playing, the dog barking, phone ringing, washer going through a very loud spin cycle because it's overly stuffed with a load of colors???

[pinch]

No...it's not a dream. It really is almost June! June is filled to the brim with activities...from here on, it will gather momentum and take me to the inevitable moment when we get in the car and drive cross-country to Michigan.

• Senior play



• Graduation



• Party!



• Packing



• Planning



• Driving....

Yes, my one and only daughter is off to college. She seems ready. She's definitely excited about it and is probably counting down to the minutes and seconds. The question is, are my husband and I ready? I've avoided thinking about this because I'd like to think that I am ready; however, I am not sure how I will feel once we set foot on the plane to fly back and arrive home to our empty house. I am praying about my worrisome spirit. I think this event will teach me to trust God more and worry less. I was able to overcome this when Steven headed off to Japan...it took a while, but eventually I made it. So, here I go again...trusting in Him and letting go.

It's funny how things seem to happen sometimes. I know that God has a way to orchestrate things and perhaps my new teaching position in the fall will be just what I need to keep me busy.

When God closes one door, he open another...how true.

So, my "mommy" days as I have known them for the past 26 years are about to take a turn...my heart beats faster just in typing these words and my eyes are tearing up [no, no....not now!]

Deep breath....

26 years of mommy-hood! Wow! And in 27 days....I will be facing a new type of mommy-ness and life. I've adjusted to my oldest son living in Japan. SO, based on distance alone, I should be able to handle Michigan, right?

Stay tuned.
