FAMILY SESSION: I'm a little Pumpkin
>> –
family sessions
This little pumpkin is as sweet as he looks...
His momma was my middle girl's math teacher last year...
and to say that my daughter would follow Mrs. S. to the ends of the earth might actually be an understatement rather than an exaggeration...
I'm excited to watch this little guy grow...
His parents are dynamic...
Not only are they passionate and determined...they are accepting and bold...they live fully & wholeheartedly...
This little man has a front row seat to the JOY of living and loving others...
My girls are maturing...we only have a few more years before the first one is off to college...
I will be honest and say that I'm in this season of uncertainty...
When they were little, their daddy & I were their whole world...
But, they are growing into independant adults...and I get nervous about whether I push too hard or not hard enough...what is the right rate at which I take a more "hands off" approach...how do I balance being parent, but also allowing them to make their own decisions that will ultimately affect their futures???
These questions sometimes haunt me...
there isn't a manual...a rule book...and worse yet, there is no guarantee...
I've said it to myself over and over...basic addition doesn't necessarily add up in the real world...
Sooooooooo...
It's when I interact with people like these that my heart remembers Who has things under control...
These incredible teachers and role-models that, for short seasons, invest into the heart & mind of my girls...
When I may be floundering and trying to figure things out amidst the everyday...
God sees fit to put other people of integrity in their pathways...to pour into them...to love on them...
And then, I get even more giddy and incredibly thankful to see their own families grow and the cycle continues...
