Spring Break

This is an odd spring break week for us. Garrett is with the church at North Padre of a few days and Blair leaves Monday for South Padre with a big group of friends. I know.....yes.... we are letting her go....she is 19.... and needs to make her way....make choices for herself. Her daddy has had a hard time with this whole thing, he has wrestled and prayed and thought. He has talked with her and prayed for her. I know she knows he loves her, just not sure if she realizes just how much he loves her.

I have been to South Padre as a young college girl and I know too much. When I was her age, all  I could think about was the fun.Never thought I shouldn't be going. I had my Jesus volume on mute. We jumped on a plane in Lubbock, got a car from my dad's office in Harlingen and we were off to our fancy condo for Spring Break. I have stories that I am not sure I would like to share now. My stories, my mistakes, my growing up, my finding my way.... and finally turning up my Jesus volume. I hated the guilt and conviction,so I just turned it on mute and ignored it for a few years and did my thing. Oh how I wish I had done more of God's thing. Oh how I wish I cold take back the times I made a fool of myself and relive that part of my life as His thing not my thing...... sorry I am really about to ramble on  a whole other subject so.....back to spring break......
As a mother it is not so fun, not so exciting, I know too much, I know what goes on. I would like to put Blair in a bubble and never let her out. Can't do that. I will put her in God's bubble this week and Trust and pray.
This is a hard time to be a parent, not sure if I like being grown up.


family trip at padre and somehow I am pretty sure this is not that kind of trip.



The day her daddy was finally able to give her his thoughts ---a very good talk-- with great advise and most of all love.

Be praying for all of us.... might be a long week.
Gar will be back Monday night and I think we just might go to Gruver.

Wrote this early in the week, I am making it just fine and yes we are leaving for Gruver in the morning and yes Blair is doing just fine!
