Wings

Oh how very hard it is for me right now to lay my two oldest children down on the altar and start to gather fire to kindle under the sacrifice…as Abraham did with Isaac. Both of them will be doing mission-related things this summer…Abbey will be at missionary language school in Costa Rica this summer. Zachery will be a missionary intern in Kenya all summer…satan hisses fears and insults at me as I prepare to be away from them for so long. But then I run to the Lord and tuck myself under His wings and He whispers, “these same wings will be a shelter for your children, Vicki. If I watch the sparrows and care for the deer as she gives birth when no one is looking, I will surely care for your little sparrows that are now flying on the wind I am blowing under their wings.”

This is a lesson in trust for me. This is a lesson in faith. It is a proud moment for me. All their lives I have been pouring in as much of God’s love I can possibly muster…and now to watch them going off to serve Him…that is what motherhood is all about for me.
