As most of you know by now, I'm divorced. Like most divorced couples during the summer, the children visit the non-custodial parent for about half the summer. Naturally my children fell into that category, meaning my children spent six weeks at their father's house.
I hesitantly seized the opportunity to visit Peg, Robert, Ann and some old friends in Washington state for a week.
On the way to the airport I became excited, yet anxious for my adventure and told Glory I wasn't sure I wanted to go. She reassured me I'd be alright and said, "Just let loose, have some fun, and don't worry about the kids."
Little did she know it wasn't the kids I was worried about, it was all these questions running through my mind; "Can I do this alone?", "Will someone be at the airport to meet me?", "If no one's there what am I going to do?", "Am I going to have health problems while I'm gone?", "If I do get sick, will any medical people know what to do for me? After all, the doctor's who deal with me on a regular basis don't even have a clue what to do.", "Will I be OK?", "Can I go a whole week without my security blanket (Glory)?"
The answer I received was a calm; "Merrym trust Me. This is just another tiny step in the right direction. "
Reluctantly, trying my hardest to trust God, I rolled down the gate and onto the plane. This was a huge accomplishment. I was learning to Let Go and Let God!...
Trust in the Lord with all your heart.
Proverbs 3:5
I am blessed
