Leaving Home

Sometimes there are things you want to write about, but the feelings are just to deep to be conveyed with much accuracy.
My 18 year old son recently went off to college and we are so proud of him. He has a splendid opportunity unfolding in front of him, an adventure all his own. But boy, is it hard to see him go. What is really cool is the way God met with him before he left. He was one of those kids who grew up in a Christian home and wished he had a "real" testimony. You know, the kind where a kid makes all the wrong choices and then get miraculously healed and delivered. He felt somehow cheated out of that kind of dynamic testimony.
But over the last few months, God blessed my son beyond my wildest dreams. He had an extreemly accurate prophectic word over his life that wasn't just full of God loves you stuff, but had real, confirming direction. In addition,God answered prayer after prayer for him. I am so thrilled to send him off into the world with not only a solid foundation in the word, but now a real, dynamic testiomy of God's power in his life.
But all that dosen't make it any easier to let him go. He's an awesome kid and I miss him terribly.
I decided I'd be fine the day we put him on the plane. Funny how emotion won't be denied. Thing is,it lets us know we love deeply.
