A Little Acknowledgement…Yes Please!

“Let go and let God.” “God’s got this!” “He’s in God’s hands.” I heard THOSE words THAT day.  Very wonderful advice, I know. It didn’t keep me from sobbing the day we dropped my first born son at MVNU. I have never felt such exhaustion, stress, and sadness on what is supposed to be such a great day.  I thought I was prepared, but soon realized as THAT day approached, I really wasn’t prepared at all. With the realization that this move represents independence, and that things are never going to be quite the same, I find myself longing for a text, a call, or even a random Facebook posting. I crave communication with my son.

 I now understand like I never have before, how much God loves me, and He desires communication with me. I believe He craves it. As my heart aches with longing to hear from my son, I think God longs to hear from His children. Just as I desire to be appreciated by my family, I think God desires gratitude for the blessings he has placed in our lives. Most of all, I think He would appreciate our sincerity. I’m sure He doesn’t want a forced effort because it’s expected or a trip to church just to alleviate guilt. He wants our sincere desire and attempt at building a very real, intimate, relationship with Him.  I don’t know about you, but I’ve got a relationship to work on! 

 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path. Proverbs 3:6
