Tonight marks the end of another summer for the Millers. Tomorrow is the start of another school year. Yay! I have always been a parent of progress. After all, you can't stop the train from moving forward. However, the realization has hit me that my girls really are growing up. Grace is entering her last year of middle school. That means high school next year. Elissa is entering her last year of elementary school this year. That means middle school next year. Any my baby is entering third grade. Third. Grade. Where has the time gone? Why does it seem like an eternity from weekend to weekend sometimes, but you can blink and your kid is a teenager? After this realization, I decided that ice cream wasn't the answer, and neither was panicking. So, I've decided to embrace this reality. Instead of focusing on how quickly the train is moving, I'll focus on the moments during the train ride. We've had some amazing moments as a family, and there are so many more yet to come. I have loved my kids in every stage of their development, and I will love every stage that is yet to come. Most of all, I'll remember that God loves my girls, and has given me the most tremendous blessing - I get to be their mom. And, after all...
I can do all things through him who strengthens me! Philippians 4:13
