MOMENTS

Do you ever have those moments?  The moments where you can't remember how to breath due to the fact that it hit you yet again that your baby boy, your first born son, is not going to be in your home much longer.  He is seventeen and each and everyday you notice him sharpening the tip of his arrow ready, longing, and desiring to be released... aching to soar into the unknown.

Then the moment changes, you catch your breath just long enough to let the moment of fear overtake all that you are.  You fear that you didn't do enough for his arrow to hit the bulls eye.  You fear that you didn't prepared him to face all the challenges that you faced and failed at.  Fear. Fear. Fear.  It is real and yet not a visitor that will allow you to savor the moments you have.  The moments that will flee never to be given back...never to be enjoyed again. 
Embrace each moment. 
Cling to each second. 
For I HAVE to realize that life is to sacred.  I only have one chance to be all that I can for:

My arrow

My man of courage

My undeserved gift

My free spirit

My praise giver

and my warrior.

Join with me as I try to...

Savor the moments.

Cling to the moments.

Cherish the moments.

These are the only moments we will be given.

Enjoy

I was and still am struggling with myself.  I need the Lord. I need his help.  I need him to speak.  I was drowning in some of my fears when a dear friend told me to watch this video.  It summed up some of my issues.  Watch and Embrace:
