"We are not in this child-training business alone.
God has assigned us to the task and given us the children
He determined - with all their qualities and faults.
But He has not left us alone to toil and guess and worry;
God is working alongside us.
Yes, some lessons may be hard.
Our mommy-hearts might groan at the thought
of our children having to walk through
an uncomfortable season.
Our hearts might ache
when they have something that they love
removed from their lives.
We want to control everything that happens to them.
...The reality is that we can't control everything
that happens to our children all the time.
Only God can do that.
God is good and He is in control.
Grab ahold of that fact and hang on with both hands.

Hi to all, we celebrated as parents so proud of our baby girl. She graduated from NYU on May 11 and we had such a great time with her showing us her fav neighborhoods in nyc and sharing our love with her and her friends.
