Have you ever wished the day away? You just want to go to bed so you could start fresh?! I know I have, too many times to count! But as I watched my son sleeping after a long day of a wrestling tournament, I immediately started regretting all the times that I had wished for a new day! With every second that passes, thats another second I don’t get back! And 60 seconds turns into a minute and those minutes turn into hours, and hours into days! This perspective has allowed me to focus on each moment in time instead of the anticipation that usually comes with “the next big thing”, whatever that might be! The day is coming where I will have to hug my baby (okay–he is a junior in HS) and send him off and pray that he is able to make amazing decisions on his own and never be defeated (I can hope)! But for now, I will treasure every moment I get to have with him and stop wishing them away! I will soak up his failures as well as his accomplishments! I will continue to invest my time and energy into who he is becoming and let the future bring what it may! Hold them while they let you momma! It goes too fast!
