Today had been full of emotion, exhaustion, and blessings! Yep, I said BLESSINGS! My phone has buzzed off the hook, Facebook had multiple notifications, and I won't even go down the path of emails and emails and more emails! This girl is BLESSED!
I was reading this morning for homework that I had and saw a quote that said something like, "Sometimes God closes doors because it is time for you to move forward. He knows you won't move unless circumstances cause you to". Boy, does that describe me to a "T". I truly feel like that God has been closing doors, cleaning house, wiping away junk...for a few days now for us to be able to see what he has in store for our home.
Most of my friends know that we have one going to college in the fall...I know I don't look old enough to have one going to college, but I assure you I do!!! I have had to come to the reality that God is closing a door in my life (as a mom to a little girl) and opening a door for me to be a mom to a young lady. I also have realized that He gave us a little kick in the behind when Reed got sick. See, we had gotten complacent with Reed's diabetes. Don't get me wrong, he manages it better most days that I would be able to in a life time, but I felt like I knew how to live with this thing...the big D.
I know now that God was saying, "Tammy, you have poured your heart, soul, and mind supporting, praying for, and loving this young man, but you don't have to be the leader, the best, or accomplish all of it in less than two years". What am I getting at???? It is time for me to sit back and listen, ask questions and listen, but most of all....listen to others with much more experience but most of all to GOD!
I pray you are listening to Him!
