Back to School: Reassurance of God's Sovereignty


The school year started for my boys this week, the same time that is busiest for me at work. Toni, one of the twins and the most vocal keeps saying, "I can't believe I'm in Kindergaten, I can't believe I'm in Kindergaten" and his reflections really rings true for me too. Its amazing how time flies, a good reminder of how every season should be treasured. To think that my oldest is in 4th grade is just as humbling. I've truly enjoyed this week albeit busy but it has been fulfilling, overwhelming but calmingly gratifying at the same time. Normally their Dad drops them off in the mornings, but I decided to drop them off today and it is a decision I treasure. Their Dad and I went together their first day on Tuesday, and being there alone this morning, putting their things away - lunchbox, snack, backpack was a closure to the anxiety of the "what ifs" of every new season. Everything was put away in its place, and as the Lord lives and the earth remaineth- He will always put things in place for our lives.

Lesson Learned: The Lord of the seasons and times has our whole life in His hands! why fret?
