I Can Trust and Rest in Peace

I Can Trust 

****************************

If He can shine

the sun on me

and still the waves

of the sea

then I can trust 

and rest in peace.

Motherhood is the most important part of my life

after my relationship with God and my husband.

This year I’ve pulled back more and more

as my teens have gotten older.

 I know they’ve got what it takes.

I did a Happy Mama Dance this week

when one of our sons got accepted into

a program that only takes a couple of students per year.  

He wants to work with cars (normal teen guy).

I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve prayed 

for God’s will to be done in each of our children’s lives.

And my husband’s.

And mine. 

~

But I know that I can trust and rest in peace.

For the NaNoWriMo novel I’m working on,

one of my favorite verses came up

when a character picked up his neglected bible.

~

Delight yourself in the LORD

and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:4

~

That was the theme verse for our wedding over 31 years ago.

One of the desires of my heart has been to write a book and get it published.

~

While I was quietly working on this post,

my husband looked over from his desk 

and told me he was glad I’m writing,

and then he read me this quote:

~

Of all sad words of mouth or pen,

the saddest are these:

It might have been.
