A Mama's Prayer
Tomorrow. Tomorrow is a big day - and so many feelings are running circles around the inside my heart. From excitement to anxiousness. From joy to sadness.
Tomorrow, after a very challenging school experience last year, Isabella is off to start 2nd grade. Tomorrow, after having spent every moment together these past five and half years, Abigail is leaving for kindergarten. Tomorrow, after 20 months of constant love and care, Aidan's future will be decided in court before the judge. I feel helpless and vulnerable, but not alone. Never alone.
And so, my sweet littles, I pray for you with a fierceness. I pray God's protection over your bodies, your minds, your hearts, and your souls. I pray that you will be a light for Jesus. I pray that the Spirit, who resides in your very beings, will guide you - will remind you to act kindly and to extend grace to those around you.
Isabella, my sensitive firstborn. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (Philippians 4:6) Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified - for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you or forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6)
Abigail, my spunky middle girl. Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:16) For the spirit God gave you does not make you timid, but gives you power, love and self-discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7)
Amen, Amen, Amen!

Aidan, my sweet boy. The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you. (Numbers 6:24-25) Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory - no matter what the future holds - both now and forever! (2 Peter 3:18)
Amen, Amen, Amen!
So Be It
