She just texted us her amazing grades from midterms and sent up pictures from her essay from a course titled: The Life of Jesus. She wrote and wrote and wrote in that blue exam book and I read every word in those pictures. 

We just called her for our evening mini chat and check in but she was busy and will call us in a few minutes. There was the sounds of friends and happiness. 

I am so grateful for her. How is it that not too long ago this was her? 

I am reading a book called Seasons of a Mother's Heart by Sally Clarkson. Although intended for a homeschool mom and certainly intended for one much younger than I, I have learned so much. I am on my second read.  I am finding it so helpful in navigating this new 'season' I am in as a mom with intentionality and joy; still parenting, still loving, still guiding.
