I’m spending five days in New York City with two women. I know, that’s a strange opening sentence for a blog. The two women are my wife and daughter. We are about to board a plane to the Big Apple to see Calysta Blaise perform in her showcase dances. At the end of the week we get the privilege of bringing her home with us for one week.
One of the hardest things I had to do as a parent, was leaving her in such a big city. But I know this is where she belongs and this is where God is molding, shaping and using her. As believers we are NEVER exempt from painful decisions and difficult times. It’s only through them that God can form us into the people He wants us to be.
I’m just very thankful for the short time of respite we’ll have with her. It’s funny how we realize how much we value something or someone until they’re absent from our lives.
