Tomorrow, I leave to take my oldestāand my only daughterāto college. ā„ļø
If youāre taking a child to college for the first time this week, manā¦ my mom heart is right there with you.
Itās the end of one season and the beginning of another, and I guess it makes sense that we can both mourn and celebrate at the same time. I am so incredibly excited for whatās ahead of her, but Iām also going to miss this child more than I ever could have imagined.
And I know Iām not the only one. I think everyone at R2R is going to feel her absence a little bit.
Sheās been part of Run to Revival since the very beginning stages of this dreamāhelping with renovations, processing product, helping customers, modeling for pictures and videos, and jumping in wherever I needed her. One of my greatest blessings was getting to have her work alongside me during her final semester of high school. Those are days Iāll treasure more than she probably knows.
Today is the last day of her normal schedule with us. š„ŗ Iām sure youāll still see her pop in from time to time when sheās home on breaks, but it's definitely going to feel different without her here.
So, to all the moms and dads saying goodbye this week, Iām thinking of you and praying for you. Thereās a strange mix of pride, excitement, sadness, and gratitude that comes with watching your child step into the next season God has for them.
A song came on the radio the other day with a message I think I needed to hear at just the right time:
Let go. Let God. š¤
So hereās to trusting Him with the people we love most and believing that the God who has carried them this far will continue to lead them into everything He has planned for their future. š
