--I Will Not Fear / Jesus Christ Is always With Me ~~

--"Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new
every morning; great is your faithfulness." --[Lamentations 3:22-23] --

--I'm in my car and my mind races. There are only two weeks left this school year and then this Fall my son, Solomon, will be entering his senior year. There are lists of things we need to do, Exams he needs to take, and he still has got to schedule his driver's test--so much to do and still my heart both wanting and not wanting this next milestone that will come whether I'm ready or not.

I spot a school bus ahead. Ugh. I timed my afternoon quick strip to the store complete wrong. I'll be stuck behind the bus dropping off kids for the next five miles.

The lights flash and a little girl gets off the bus and hugs her mom. Half a block ahead a boy gets off and runs to the doorstep as his mom watches from the window. I think of all the days I've waited for Solomon, anticipating how his day went, hope for the best.

I decide to go a different way and turn down a lonely road. Ahead, a deer darts across and I come to a full stop in time to see a tiny fawn, just a by, and then, another crossing. They catch up to their mom, who waits by the thick brush. When she sees they've made it, she disappears into the woods, trusting her babies will follow in her footsteps. Not unlike our Lord, we must stay in step with our Creator. ~~
