How beautiful! My oldest son just turned 8 and we are working oon the whole “bike riding’ thing now. I am crying tears for years gone by for you and how all too quickly they will soon pass for me, too! I never want to look back with regret. I homeschool partly to savor the time with my boys so I might make a difference in their sweet lives and that i might look back in 10 years with joy at memories made and time well spent! Thank you for this beautiful post…May the Lord continue to bless your sweet son!

This post was so impacting to me. How hard it is for us Mommas to let go…but how we must. You captured the beauty of that moment so perfectly! It’s such a comfort to visualize Christ, running alongside of us as we try to make our way. Simply beautiful.

We both have sons born on the same day. My youngest is 17. What a special time in their lives.

Once again I’m so blessed reading and many times walking along side of you on your journey~

Letting go is so hard, physically and spiritually. So much fear in the unknown, I guess.
What a wonderful visual to keep tucked in my heart…..Of myself on that bike…….God is running alongside me, even when I’m wobbling, He is there! :) Even if I fall off, He will lift me up.

I also realize that just because I let go of my own children “physically” like your son on the bike, God is still right beside them….When they are away from me, they are not alone….He is running along side them always. That is so comforting to me.

Happy Birthday, Colton!

And Elaine, once again, Friend, thank you for sharing your heart. You are always such a blessing.
In Christ,
Amy:)

You have truly touched my heart with this story. Letting go. I think I need to learn what this is about. Thank you.

As always, your writing is terrific. You truly, truly have a gift of creating beautiful prose with the way you weave your thoughts.

Thanks for sharing!

Prayers and Blessings!

I know how special a son can be. My son Drew is the apple of my eye too! Colton is a handsome young man. I know you are a proud mama.

Thanks for sharing!

I can so very much see myself in the part about not wanting to let go. I’m sort of a “control freak” I guess you could say. I freak out when I’m not in control of my life. ha It’s a place that certainly needs more help from God in my being able to let go of doing His things MY way and let Him do things HIS way! Thank you so much for presenting this so clearly today!

God bless you….

Praying for the courage and willingness to surrender it all.

This post made me think of Hebrews 1:12, “let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”

Throwing off…and letting go of all that keeps me from riding to freedom in Him,
Joy
