I'm leaving the kids with Tandon tonight to go to a Women's Retreat with our church. It's the first time I've left my children over night. The control freak in me became super worried last night about both the little things (Will T remember to change Anna's diaper?) and the big things (What if he loses one of them in the store?). I got all worked up!
Then I began to realize that the real issue is not that I don't trust my husband (I do, it's just all those unknowns); but that the real issue is, by worrying, I am not trusting God. He is sovereign! Nothing that happens this weekend will be a mistake. Once I worked it all out in my head--my heart began to have peace. I am leaving my children with their father who loves them VERY much. But, more importantly, I am leaving my family with God the Father who loves them even more. Feel free to pray for my little family this weekend as we part ways for a little over 24 hours.
I anticipate flowers and kissing of feet upon my return Saturday evening. ;o)
"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful." John 14:27
