its that time of year again. . . .

The van is loaded down, all packed and ready to head out tomorrow morning.  We are taking Brett back to Spring Arbor University for his Sophomore year.  I can't believe how fast this summer has gone and how quickly I am brought to tears over the fact that my boys are growing up and leaving home.  I've always known it was part of the journey; yet it just came way too fast.  We will come home tomorrow to load up the van again and Saturday, late morning, head to Michigan State University, to unpack Blake for his freshman year of college.  I've talked a lot about riding the emotional roller coaster. . . off I go again.

I look inside my pantry door and try to do some kind of emotional exercise so my heart won't break when they go to college. I fully expect to pull a hammy.

You've done some beautiful stuff with your life, friend.

Thank God you are not alone on that roller coaster. He is with you. Hold tight to that fact.
