Letting go of things you love

So here we go! the countdown is getting lower. Only 5 days left until I take my son to Texas to drop him off for Teen Mania's Honor Academy. then 5 days later I'll pick up my daughter at the same campus and fly her home for 4 days then driver her to Colorado Springs to attend Ted Haggards school of Worship for the next 10 months. I find myself drawing closer to my youngest that is 15 years old and taller than me and I begin to feel so much older as it seems I'm loosing my grip on a family that I've always had the security of having around. Not to mention it is taking many pennies to fund all my children's ministry dreams. The great thing about this all is my investment in God's kingdom. Never before have I ever had the chance to invest in the kingdom of God as I do now through my 2 oldest children. The bible says "do not lay up for yourself treasures here on earth where moth devour them but lay up for yourself treasures that are eternal. I'm not living my dreams thru my children but I know that I have planted great things of Godliness in each of them and that they will use those things to bring Glory to God. So what do I do? I delight myself in the Lord and He will give me the desires of my heart. Even as David Encouraged himself in the Lord, so I will rely upon Him for my strength thru each and every trial. So as I wait for Him, I will spend my time building a greater relationship with my youngest so I'll even feel more sick when his time comes to leave the nest. Thanks you all for taking the time to read my heart and continue to pray for me.
