I'm coming out of the Homeschool Fog that I've been in for 14 years now. I've been an MIA Friend to many of the friends that I was extremely close to prior to marriage and having Tim. I want to go on record and apologize for having been MIA for so many years. I was just starting out in marriage and having a baby when most of you had been married and in the throws of raising kids for quite some time. We were in two different times in our lives. I was in M.O.P.S when you were doing middle school, if not, high school with your kids. Not excusing not having stayed in touched better just pointing out that the roads we were traveling on were very different at the time.
Now, all these years later, my journey of being a homeschool mom is coming to an end. As Tim graduates I'm hoping and praying that these old friendships that I've held near and dear to my heart all these years will meet me on a new journey in life where we can reconnect. A journey that will allow us to grow together as we navigate these later years in our lives. Where we can share our lives and all we've learned on the journey that we've been on while apart. Where God can enrich our lives even more deeply as we spend time together.
I've been more intentional recently about making connections again. I'm sure some have been scratching their heads & wondering why now and the change in my journey in life is the why now.
It's actually weird to be on this side of things now. It seems wild to me that Tim will be 18 in May and just 5 short days later a High School Graduate.
I take solace in the knowledge that even though Scot & I missed the mark at times, all parents do, while raising Tim that we have taken our job as parents and his teachers seriously. We've poured into him to overflowing. And now we pray as we release him fully into God's hands who gave him to us to raise. We pray that God will be 1st in Tim's life above everything and everyone else as he goes out into this world and lives his life.
I pray as a mom that Tim lives a life worthy of God. That his is a life that represents the Kingdom of God well.
I pray as I seek to reconnect with friends that God opens doors and that our reconnection will be even better than our initial connection years ago.
Above all I pray that God is Glorified in all of our lives in a Mighty way!!!
God Bless!!!
