Surrender

One of life’s lessons that I think I’ve gotten pretty good at is surrender. I am stubborn and probably too self-reliant, so I have only excelled with surrender where my kiddos are concerned. But, I have learned.

My brain and heart can still not fathom how God loves my kiddos more than I do. But, I know he does. And this is where I surrender. God can be with them when I can’t. He can touch their hearts when I don’t see how. He can protect them from things I couldn’t possibly see.

I have learned the most about prayer and faith as a mom. I could afford to mess things up where I, myself was concerned. I won’t take that risk with the kiddos. I never could.

Tonight I am thankful for surrendering to God for the things I can’t control (like, everything truthfully. What can I honestly control?) I am thankful to pray for my kiddos and know that God is with them. Of all the things I can give them, this is at the top of the list. ❤
