I’m coming to you now from the other side of launching our daughters into middle school and kindergarten. I feel confident this is going to be a wonderful school year for them both.
God has been so good to us during this monumental transition. I must say that I was worried about what the other side of this would look like for us all. I am relieved to feel a sense of contentment that can only come from God. Of course He is still here with me on the other side of this transition. He will never leave us.
I had plenty of tears leading up to the day when we sent our daughters off to kindergarten and middle school, but I didn’t have any on the first day. It wasn’t until the day after, when I opened my work bag and found this note from a coworker. It said “every door that close, a better one opens”. Grateful tears filled my eyes because I know this is true.
I have so enjoyed being a stay-at-home mom for the past 11 years. My role as a stay-at-home mom may very well be the most cherished and treasured role of my lifetime.
Now that my children are in school I get to work part-time during school hours. I still get to be available for drop off and pick ups. I’ll get to spend my summers with them, too. In this new season, my life is still tailored to being a child of God, a wife, and a mom first. I am grateful that God has gifted me in this way.
I am going to take some time to settle into our new rhythm. Thanks for sticking around in the meantime!
