Today, I am just feeling God's love in a very reassuring way.
My son Brent leaves for Australia on a 2 week missions trip. Yep...he'll be more than 24 hours away from me, and I'm going to miss him so very much. He is really smart and so much fun to be around. Most of all, he loves the Lord. The kids in the Australia school are going to love getting to know him and his heart.
So, the mom in me starts to WORRY in a way that only a mom can. How will I get to him if something goes wrong? Who is going to take care of him? How can I go 2 weeks without seeing him?
Then a word from God...."I AM." Nothing more needed. He loves Brent so much and has a special plan for him. Brent is living a life that matters. I know Brent will meet people in Heaven whose lives he touched during this trip, and he will be forever changed too as a result of this experience.
As an obedient child to my Father, I place Brent again in His loving care. I know he will be where he should be serving God.
Please keep the people of Australia and our youth group in your prayers. From our pastors:

Dear Angela,
Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog and leave such a sweet comment. You are my first bloggy friend to wish me a happy birthday! I love your quote--at this point I'd be thrilled to be 30 with 10 years of experience.
I'll be praying for your son and his mission trip. I will pray for his safety and health and for you to have God's perfect peace while your son is away. I know you must be so proud of him for wanting to serve God at such a young age. I know God will bless this trip because of his obedience.
God Bless,
Kathie
