Well, my sweet little Anna Claire went to kindergarten on Tuesday, August 17th. I still can't believe it. The house is so quiet now. Usually about this time, I would be telling her that her quiet time is over and she can turn on the t.v. and watch her favorite cartoon. She would be sitting beside me watching Caillou, while I read or on a good day, napped. Not now, she is at school and the house is so quiet. Jackson is napping and left wondering what I should do. The house is clean, I'm sure there are some nooks and crannies that could be touched up, but that can wait for another day. I've had my quiet time, I read some of Crazy Love, dinner is layed out, laundry is put away. So now, I'm just left to sit here and dwell on how fast time really goes by. I am excited for her though, and she seems to love school! I knew she would. I'd be lying if I said I don't worry about her, the habits she'll pick up, not to mention the germs she'll get along the way, the friends she'll make. I found this devotion the morning I sent her off to kindergarten and it was just what I needed.
The title was "Hand It Over". It just talked about not worrying. Worrying is the opposite of having peace, in fact, it is a peace destroyer. God's will for our life is to live in perfect peace, not to worry about anything. So my prayer that morning, for my sweet, innocent little Anna was, God, transform my thinking. Help me to quit worrying about Anna Claire. Instead I hand her over to you and trust you with every part of her life.
Matthew 6:25 "Therefore I tell you not to worry about your life."
Here are some pictures from the big day!
