This summer was supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable...payback for a hectic, crazy, summer last year when we were trying to sell a house, move across country, and complete an international adoption. As many of you know, only one thing on that list actually happened last year, but it was enough! So this summer I was anxious to just enjoy life with my family and friends.
BUT!! Of course, life never goes as we plan. Without going into too much detail, suffice it to say that this summer--this year!--has not gone as we had planned. From issues with children to losing a job to financial woes to my grandmother's Homegoing...God had other plans for us this year. Through it all, however, one thing has been constant: God is in control.
Our younger children have enjoyed several vacation Bible schools this summer. Each one has different songs to go along with its theme. It's been refreshing, though, to hear a commonality flowing through each VBS program: Trust in God. I am reminded of baby birds, hesitant to leave the nest, pushed over the edge by a parent who knows it's time to test those wings. As a family, we are learning--or should I say, continuing to learn--to trust God's timing for our flying lessons. We don't know what our future holds, but God does...He knows the end of our story, and we are ready to FLY!
