I pulled Weston into bed with me this morning before the sun peeked over the edge of my world. I lay, snuggled him close, felt his heart pound under the palm of my hand, smelled his soft hair and drank him in for awhile. We lay there still. But not still enough. This world twirls so fast and I can almost feel his feet touching mine, as he grows right out from under me. Today we tackle a new mark in his life, kindergarten. As he walks toward adventures, he walks away from me. I stand...in awe...why did God trust me? With this? His precious creation. A soul. Placed in my life for me to open his eyes to Jesus and his heart to love and for me to allow some hurts and regrets, so he can truly know just how amazing Gods grace is and so He can feel his need for The Lord. I am drowning in Gods love for me that he would gift me with Weston. Ann Voskamp penned my favorite saying about motherhood. A mothers labor and delivery never ends, and you never stop having to remember to breathe. So today, I focus on breathing. Letting you go, my sweet Weston, just a little more every day. Knowing that God goes before you and around you and not a hair on your head will be ruffled without His consent! My sister Chrissy Roberts ONeal was waiting for me at my house after dropping Weston off at school. I was a puddle of tears and she gifted me with 3 boxes of Puffs tissue paper covered in scripture! Everyone needs a Chrissy in their life! Thanks Hannah Bowiefor loving on Whit and Winslow so I could have one on one time with Weston. Ill treasure it always!
