The hardest thing...


The image of my mom standing in the driveway, eyes crinkled up and tears streaming down her face was the hardest thing to see. As we rolled down the driveway, I wanted to fling open the truck door and run back up to the house for one last hug and never let go. It feels like a piece of my heart is back there in that driveway. This whole morning, that image kept replaying itself in my mind. 

God, you have confirmed and affirmed this decision on so many levels - so I know you will take just as much care of my mom so I am entrusting her to You. Give her a sense that she is in the hollow of Your hand, enclosing her and protecting her. Hem her in behind and before and lay Your hand on her in all of this.

  1. You have an awesome mum Beth, your whole family is awesome. I know her heart ached for you as you drove away. I also know she will be praying faithfully for you. There's nothing like a mothers love on this earth!
