9 years ago we were preparing Sam for Kindergarten. 
I remember the excitement and nerves I felt for him as he entered Kindergarten. 

I remember wondering if I had told him everything 
he would need to know. 
I did not. 
I remember wondering if he would 
ask for help if he needed it. 
Knowing him, he may not have. 
I remember knowing it was the right thing. 
And God was there. 
He was guiding people to fill in the gaps. 
He was making paths for friendships 
that have lasted to today.  

Tuesday, Sam is going to high school. 
He will be a high school Freshman. 

I am feeling those nerves for him once again- but not too much. 
I am now wondering if I have told him everything, 
I most certainly have not 
cause  when I try it ends in ‘that look’.
I know once again it is the right thing,
he is ready 
and I would not want to stand on the way of that. 
And after memories of all those milestones that come flooding back,along the way, 
I am even more reassured that God is near. 

God fills in the gaps. 
I am thankful and hopeful. 
Jeremiah 29:11
