Yesterday was Kyle's first day driving without parents in the car. Yes, he is now a licensed driver! I've got two of them! Wowza.
I remember that feeling of fear the first time I let Lyss drive off by herself. It's kind of hard to let them go off on their own the first time. I may worry, fret and let my thoughts go places they shouldn't, and will try instead to go to prayer until I get the required text that lets me know he has arrived safely...much to his dismay. What peace that comes over me when my phone lets off a sound and I read the words "I'm here."
I think Kyle will enjoy the freedom that comes with driving, just like his sister did, but for a while (or maybe forever) I'll pray that God watches over his coming and going.
And congratulations to my son on this big milestone in his life!
Lord, I am in awe that your eyes range throughout the earth and you watch over your children's comings and goings. There's no better truth for a parent to hold onto. Each day our children are gaining more and more independence and freedom, and our out of our reach to protect, guide and hold onto. As Alyssa and Kyle are out and about, please keep watch over them. Spread your hand of protection around them and cover them with your angels. Go with them down every path, dear Jesus, and always be by their side. You are their God, and you love them dearly, and for that I put my complete trust in you!
