And I'm trusting Him to lead me through my ever-changing role as Mom.<br />Congrats to your son!<br /><br />Leslie - I'm realizing how much I still need a mom - not in the way I used to, but the need is still there. It comforts me to understand that I will still be a mom after my kids become adults. <br />Thanks for the hugs. *grin*Karen Hossinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049412644792482270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-26204974056154423402010-06-09T16:42:38.122-04:002010-06-09T16:42:38.122-04:00So bittersweet as they grow.

It's easy to wrap your identity in those roles, though. <br /><br />Wise to see that there's so much more of you than that.

Just because you aren't walking Matthew to school anymore does NOT mean you can still look your son in his eyes and tell that God has a purpose for him everyday. And NOW you can do it outside OR inside!giannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745654173969916703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-65427452339655680402010-06-09T12:42:15.398-04:002010-06-09T12:42:15.398-04:00Amanda - Thank you.

I'm glad to hear you aren't fretting.<br />We've been walking to school for the past two years - as a result of cuts in the budget which meant no more bus service for us. But it really isn't a big deal. We used to walk .5 of a mile to the bus stop. Now we walk .7 of a mile to school.<br />I love our morning walks.Karen Hossinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049412644792482270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-9242081740274562092010-06-09T12:32:24.350-04:002010-06-09T12:32:24.350-04:00First, thank you for your note.

Yes, God can redeem any situation, this is why I'm no longer fretting, but have given it to him!<br /><br /><br /><br />Wouldn't it be nice (in theory of course) for our babies to stay babies?? Again, God has His plan and bless you for walking your son to school every day! I've never been able to do that, but I do drive my daughter to school. It's a great bonding time. :o)TheUnSoccerMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190900609072968289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-72129026903428960462010-06-09T08:46:02.960-04:002010-06-09T08:46:02.960-04:00I may have only two more days to be "the lady...I may have only two more days to be "the lady who walks her son to school," but for the rest of our lives I will be the mom. <br /><br /><br /><br />Yup.. that line got me. Right in the old ticker. Wonderful thoughts here Karen!<br /><br />Was just thinking about you and how amazing you are.<br /><br />Be blessed-<br />AmandaAmandahttp://iammommy.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
