My Stretching Momma Heart

Tomorrow my first baby girl leaves home for the summer. On a plane. A big plane headed to another continent. Too far away for this momma's heart.

She is so excited. And I am too. Almost. Why is it that watching them grow and letting go is hard?

I am so proud of her for being chosen to be a part of this study abroad team. I'm proud of all the things she's accomplished in only 21 years. I'm proud of her relationships with her siblings. But if all that was gone, I'd still be proud of her. Just who she is, what she ponders, how she serves.

I love you, baby girl. You make my heart sing.

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, 

for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

Joshua 1.9
