I am a control freak. Not in the type a “gotta have everything perfect” sort of way, but in the I want to be in the driver’s seat kind of way.
So, this week with four college aged drivers along on a trip halfway across the country, I have had to face my fears head on. I am blogging right now from the back seat of the van in the middle of Tennessee.
I am learning each day to let go a little more.
What things do you have trouble letting go? What are you not doing because you won’t let go? For me, this week away from David and two of my kids really stretched me. Then I stop and think of all the good memories that we made and all the “firsts” that happened because I let go…
Was this hard? Yes, at times some of the hardest things I have done….
Was is worth it? Every stinkin’ minute!

So glad you have had a good trip! I love hearing how things are going for you and the family.
I too have a hard time letting go. But, having young adult children forces me to do just that. Kris and Melinda live in Illinois now, and Allison is wanting to go back to school, for a different major. Ahhh!
I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me!
Kym,
love, love, love the blog! Tina and I just started catching up with it today. Your personality definitely shines through in your writing. Please tell Ron, oh wait I’m sorry, Mr. Steven Spielberg, that we absolutely loved his short film. We cannot wait for the second installment. Hope you all are doing great!

Thanks so much! I need to blog more, but you know how it is!!….
Thanks a ton for being the teacher on this issue. We enjoyed your current article greatly and most of all cherished how you handled the areas I thought to be colesovtrrian. You are always really kind to readers much like me and let me in my existence. Thank you.
