I'm not the first mother and probably won't be the last to say that surrendering my trust to God regarding my children is challenging. Between the planning, scheduling, coaching, talks, prayers, snuggles, kissing boo-boos, and all the fun-silly times, it's sobering to loosen my grip and remember my relationship with each of my children can only be measured as a brief reflection of God's intended plan for a whole relationship with each of them, and us.
