Letting Go and Watching Growth

Letting Go and Watching Growth

April 29, 2015April 29, 2015 Posted in parentingPost format: Quote

Spring has finally come this week,

Without any help from me.

Flowers are blooming

pushing through dead leaves and untilled soil

Even more surprising,

all sorts of breakthroughs are happening

in my adult kid’s lives

simply because I let go of control

prayed, trusted in God and

allowed natural growth and development to progress

without my meddling

…too much! Let’s say I facilitated, then stepped back.
