discernment

my precious, precious girl
journaling -
one look at this photo and my heart is near to bursting with love. i have tons of shots of you smiling for me and for that i'm thankful. you are a happy girl and it shows in your face. but this picture, this glimpse of your quiet and reserved side makes me want to stop time in its tracks and wrap you in my arms and never let go. despite your fierce independence, your vulnerability here is palpable and the urge to protect you is overwhelming. oh how i'm praying for wisdom in the days ahead when i will need massive amounts of discernment to navigate when to lead you and when to let you make your own way.
