Today was our last day of summer break. We hopped on the lake today and keeping in alignment with 2020, we were going against the wind and current when we got on the water.
Our youngest was on the kayak giving his all. I found myself saying to him, “you were made strong enough for this moment.” He confidently replied, “yes, I was” as he paddled hard through the waves.
Although our conversation was about the waves he was physically fighting through, I couldn’t help but think of what tomorrow holds, with school starting. It got me thinking, “What if we believed as firmly as Matt did today that we were made strong enough for this moment?”
I share this with you in case you too need the reminder, like I do, that we, and our children, were made strong enough to tackle these waves before us in this new school year.
I invite you to join me to...
pause. breathe. pray.
May we ask God for the courage and strength we need to step into these uncharted waters. May we trust He hears our prayers and has made us, and our children, strong enough for this moment💕🙏💕
With love and hope,
Shawn
